Extractions: Violinist Known for his poetic musicality, violinist Joshua Bell made his orchestral debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 14. That performance, followed by his Carnegie Hall debut and his first recording contract at age 18, created a sensation that spread throughout the music world. Now in his thirties, Joshua has performed with nearly every leading symphony orchestra and conductor, recorded 26 albums and is considered to be a classical music superstar. Joshua and his two sisters were raised on a farm in Bloomington, Indiana. As a child, he had many hobbies other than music, including computer games and sports. He placed fourth in a national tennis tournament at age 10 and still keeps his racquet close by. Joshua received his first violin at age four after his parents, both psychologists, noticed him plucking tunes with rubber bands he had stretched around the handles of his dresser drawers. By age 12, he was serious about the instrument, thanks in large part to the inspiration of renowned violinist Josef Gingold, who had become his beloved teacher and mentor. In 2002, his Grammy-winning recording of West Side Story Suite, based on Leonard Bernstein's works, was highlighted by a performance on the 44th Annual Grammy Awards telecast. The same music was featured on the 2001 PBS Great Performances special, "Joshua Bell: West Side Story Suite from Central Park," which received an Emmy nomination for Best Classical Music-Dance Program.

Extractions: CONCERT REVIEW By Andrew Wong Staff writer FleetBoston Celebrity Series: Joshua Bell Symphony Hall November 11, 2001 Four Seasons was cancelled abruptly after a New York concert. The scheduled tour resumed, however, with a gracious save by violinist Joshua Bell. On November 11, Bell and the Trondheim Soloists performed a slightly altered program. Zwei nordische Weisen . This is only fitting, as Trondheim has recorded every piece for strings written by Grieg, including an arrangement of the String Quartet No. 1 Sarek Orawa Sonata No. 3 Ballade . From the grandiose opening to the most complex chordal passages, his supple bow arm and silky tone made this daunting solo sonata seem easy. The second half of the program, Overall, Bell delivered a satisfactory reading of the piece, although at times the odd combination between the American virtuoso and a Nordic string ensemble was blatantly apparent. Bell twisted and turned to direct his fellow musicians, at times almost thrusting his body into the cello section. His stage manner amplified his climactic solos, but also drew attention away from finer details of his playing and obscured his connection with the ensemble. This story was published on Tuesday, November 20, 2001.

Extractions: at the Penthouse I first met Joshua Bell some 20 years ago in Charleston, South Carolina at the annual Spoleto Festival. He was then a teenager, but already a force to be reckoned with. Playing with some of the hallowed names of the concert stage, he already had the distinguishing characteristics of a superb artist: impeccable technique, a distinctive sound, and a questioning musical mind. A native of Bloomington, Indiana, where his psychiatrist father and pianist mother were faculty members of Indiana University, Joshua had made his debut as a soloist with the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra in 1975at the age of 7! Another member of Indiana University's faculty at the time was the renowned violinist and pedagogue, Josef Gingold. Gingold had studied with the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye (who became Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra early in the 20th century), before settling into a life as an orchestral musician, first in Toscanini's NBC Symphony Orchestra and later as concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra. But it was as a teacher that Gingold achieved his greatest prominence; he became Joshua Bell's most important musical influence and inspiration, and Gingold, in turn, recognized a brilliant talent in in the young man. Joshua Bell first came to national attention as the grand prize winner in the Seventeen Magazine/General Motors National Concerto Competition, which led to his debut, at the age of 14, with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. That was the beginning of a career that has taken him to every important concert stage the world oveJr in the ensuing two decades. Today, at the age of 36, he is generally recognized as one of the master violinists of our time.

Extractions: It was a hit-and-miss week at the Aspen Music Festival. The Emerson Quartet played two concerts, one transcendental and the other surprisingly ordinary. Violinist Joshua Bell assembled two different chamber ensembles to play a Brahms sextet and Beethoven septet at another concert, and Jaime Laredo proved himself a better violinist than a conductor of Beethoven. There were some good, some bad and a few ugly moments. Last Sunday's concert in the Benedict Music Tent, which featured the Bolivian-born Laredo in three distinctly different roles with the Aspen Chamber Orchestra, had them all. The "good" found the violinist teaming with his wife, cellist Sharon Robinson, oboist Jeannete Bittar (who tours with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble) and bassoonist Nancy Goeres (principal of the Pittsburgh Symphony) in a lively and idiomatic performance of Haydn's Sinfonia Concertante in B flat . The "bad" and the "ugly" were contained in Laredo's rapid-fire, un-nuanced conducting of Beethoven's

Then, two years ago, he went to a London dealer to get his bow repaired and was told the instrument was for sale. "After like 30 seconds, I thought, 'Oh my God, I have to have this violin!" Bell recalled. He bought it for "three to four million dollars," and now the 35-year-old violinist has recorded his first album with the 1713 Gibson ex Huberman, made during Stradivari's "golden period."
