I am a Chris Botti Fan and a Kristin Chenoweth fan so I thought why not. I can see why his bio is so awesome.
Joshua Bell has captured the public’s attention like no other classical violinist of this time. He came to national attention at the age of 14 in his debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He made his first recording at the age of 18. He also played Carnegie Hall, got the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and a recording contract that confirmed his presence in the music world. Today he is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra leader. His restless curiosity and multifaceted musical interests have taken him in exciting new directions that has earned him the rare title of “classical music superstar”. Bell received the 2008 Academy of Achievement award for exceptional accomplishment in the arts. He is the past recipient of the Mercury Music Prize and has recorded more than 30 CD’s. He grew up in Bloomington, Indiana with his two sisters and he plays the 1713 Gibson ex Huberman Stradivarius Violin.
I think the CD would make great background music for a get together or even to throw on when I am writing and need some abmient noise. I was not a big fan of the holiday songs but my wife loved them.
Disclosure: One to One Network gave me the CD and I got to keep it. My full disclosure policy is up at the top.
