Agreed. I skimmed the article and watched the videos (going to listen to the full audio file later when I have the time for it). He is quite the player, and I did recognize him but only because of the fact my violin teacher has spoken about him before (I've been playing violin for ~9 years). I think I might a few of his CDs O.o

There are so few people these days who appreciate classical music or even 20th century music that sounds like it's classical (neo-classical). That said, I'm not familiar with Joshua Bell but I can definitely notice when a virtuoso is around (even off a recording), and if I had been there, I would've stopped to listen for sure, even if it would've made me late for work. Truly talented musicians are rare in this world and they need more appreciation rather than the talentless hacks posing as "musicians" running around in pop-culture today. |
