im not i violinist but i am a musician and anybody saying that the movement that he displays while playing are in bad tast and esp is stupid. You have obviously never played an instrument where if u do not loss your seld in the music u are unable to produce your highest quality. please pick up an instrument play for 10 years or so and then you "might" be able critique "real" talent.
i like the look of the first violinist. just a "whatever man" look on his face. after the frenzied cadenza i like how the orchestra casually saunters in. joshua bell: the anti-artist
whoa he dances too. this is what happens when you don't get beat up enough for being a dork...unbridled joshuaness.
i don't advocate bullying. i'm just being mean. but one can tell no one ever worked to dial this tool in a little bit. he looks like a fool. A he can't dance B it's inappropriate and unprofessional C no one wants to see him dance like a penis-headed bear D who the fuck does he think he is "it's joshua's world! you do what i want [attacks with pernambuco stick]"
@ehhhhhhhhsmackkkkehh if you would like to understand what I would measure a modern violinist against, write me a personal msg. there are ALL SORTS of wonderful gems on youtube. this is how i unlearned all of the nagging mediocre pedagogy that worked its way into my technique.
there are so many violinists against which to judge mr bell as an un-artistic shortcoming to the field, more of an oversight due to a lack of historical awareness. not only mr. bell, but many others.
@mrsherman109 no i'm not a musician. certainly not a violinist. i only know by chance what pernambuco (vs carbon, for example) signifies.
joshua bell is a joke. guys... he is a much better violinist than myself. true. i don't measure myself as a violinist at all against professionals. if i can play a little mozart, some vitali, dvorak, whatever, that suits me fine. but come on.
@poseuresque I agree with the person who said you have written two of the most poorly worded and stupid comments I have ever seen on youtube. Some of these other comments trashing Bell are equally absurd. This is one of the most magnificent performances I've ever heard. And it's live, too. All I hear is Haydn. Bell serves the composer all the time, never himself.

this performance is weak. i quit looking at mr bell-end, who also does look like a bell-end, because of his exaggerated movements, which are in bad taste and esp. unbecoming to music from this period. well, when i quit looking i still didn't like his performance. too much vibrato, portamento, and legato. it lacks, overall, a refined, differentiated character.
@TheForeignersNetwork What in My blessed name are you talking about? Any "slide" you are hearing is perfectly appropriate to Haydn, but I still don't know what in Satan's name you're referring to. And, I take my Joshua VERY seriously. ~ God
@organboi No, a slide is not appropriate to Haydn because Haydn composed during the classical period. This particular piece is very classically stylized, and it certainly would not have had a slide in it in Haydn's mind. Beethoven was the first to make slides even remotely a part of mainstream composition, and it was even very controversial during his time (as was most of his music). So therefore, a good stylistic player would not put a slide into a piece like this.
Fine music, what a shame they recorded it in a bathroom with the shower on (apparently)

This concerto is the TOUGHEST I've ever played, and I've pretty much played all the major concertos.
Personally, I'd like less flair, and less biting E string. But I found this concerto to be extremely difficult, so what can I say?

Was being young, hot, attractive and clean-cut a requirement to be in this orchestra?
