Joshua Bell And Academy of St Martin in the Fields<br><br>"Bach"<br><br>Bell alternated playing along with the first violins and conducting with great physical animation from his seat, sculpting the air expressively with his bow to bring forth a wealth of <br>interpretive detail from the musicians. This was as superb a program as I ve heard, delivered by a conductor of<br>tremendous promise and genuine ideas who also happens to be one heck of a violinist. - The Washington Post<br><br>As follow up to last-year s acclaimed and chart-topping all-Beethoven recording, Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell continues as Music Director and Conductor of the world-renowned ensemble, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
