This will be the first time I have seen him play. I have seen Midori and Nigel Kennedy play locally - both phenominal players (obviously!) - Kennedy with a good bit more flair for sure! I love Beethoven. Perhaps most of you have seen this, but for those of you who haven't, here is a link to Bell playing Beethoven's Violin Concerto with a very small chamber orchestra (five parts - link is to part 1). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNt6cYOCYs4&feature=related It is fabulous. Only thing I can't figure out about it, besides how anyone can play like that, is how he avoids his little violin spontaneously combusting during his solo in the third part. I suspect your analysis is correct Dave. Terry Farrell On Feb 1, 2011, at 10:45 PM, Dave Swartz wrote: > I'm convinced Joshua could play a washtub bass and slay the > audience.
