Joshua Bell

December 6, 2006 at 12:12 PM

I saw Joshua Bell last night at Carnegie Hall. He performed Brahms Violin Concerto. His playing of the first movement was so masterful. What an amazing cadenza! I was looking at the faces of the first violinists. They were enraptured. No standard cadenza for Joshua Bell!

The only disappointment was that he did not play an encore. : (

Were any other V.com members at the performance?

Hey John, I was there! You should join the Joshua Bell fan forum; we got to go backstage and say hello to him after the concert.
