I don't think Joshua Bell is English!

Who ever wrote this article is wrong. Joshua Bell is an American. He was born and educated in Indiana and was at Indiana University when I was a student there. He is amazing and a true virtuoso but............ not an Englishman!

Actually, Joshua Bell is from Bloomington, Indiana, and therefore American (not English as the iTunes review says) but that aside, this recording is simply beautiful and a must-have for violin lovers.

I'm only 15 and never listen to classical, but Rusalka: Song to the Moon is really pretty. If you can't buy the entire album, at least listen to this song.

"Young English virtuouso Joshua Bell"? I thought he was an American. Great music!

Joshua Bell is an AMERICAN prodigy, not English. Again, Josh has transported us to the heights with his extraordinary interpretations. His playing is so unique, that placed along side another violinist, his talent clearly stands out.

Stunning! I bought 4 songs thinking I could not take to much violin music and got into a hot bubble bath to listen and after my 4 songs were up I got out and bought the whole album. A must have for classical music lovers.

Josh Bell is more then amazing. This CD is filled with beautiful music and acceptional playing. Bell really shows what he can do in this album and I am hoping he continues. I know he will! :) JB your amazing!

A masterful performance. I appreciate it as both a violinist and a singer. If you enjoy it, I highly recommend Romance of the Violin (I love the Borodin "Nocturne"). I think the "English" virtuoso has been put to rest in other reviews. But no one has mentioned that the Ave Maria is listed as Gounod (in the Composer field), any one with any sense (or a quick read of the digital booklet) knows it's Schubert. Finally, I don't see how a reviewer can call Bell "mainstream" and then recommend Yo-Yo Ma (an overrated cellist), Itzhak Perlman, and Hilary Hahn. Rostropovich, Perlman, Hahn, Mutter, and Bell are all incomparable masters of their craft.

After reading in the Washington Post that Joshua Bell played in one of our DC-area Metro stations and most people walked by I was curious to hear one of his albums. I don't get it, how can you walk by this man? He moves me; this is a wonderful album!
