  • After listening to Itzhak Perlman's version of this piece, Joshua Bell sounds like an amateur. Not to mention he has some serious bow issues because of his movements, and I listened to his version of a Bach concerto in which he put a very romantic slide.

  • There are so many people dedicated in bashing Joshua Bell that it's getting rather amusing. I've been listening to classical music for many years, but I didn't at all like violin pieces (I tried, really hard) until I listened to Bell's playing. There's just something different and magical that drew me right in. I understand that some listeners don't like his violin playing, but really, music is not professional sport. We don't need to compare those great musicians. Just enjoy the music.

  • all violonists have their own interpretation, and as long as they give a meaning to the music, i like it. by the way, i don't understand how people can not like joshua bell. who cares if he moves a lot while playing? it's the music that counts

  • I really love how Joshua Bell played this. I saw that a lot of people criticized his performance, but I think, as a violin player and a listener, Bell plays this wonderfully. I played this piece for an orchestra audition last year and this isn't a easy piece, even though it sounds like it is. I've heard Janine Jansen's version and it was nice, but as for me, Bell's performance touched me more. Jansen plays rather fiercely and I really love Bell's more tender playing with fierceness as needed.

  • @shavertoo Bluntly put, but I think you're right. Without denying the abilities of these two people, do they really deserve the careers they're are making? Both of them creep me out totally when I watch them & when I close my eyes, what I hear is good,but no more.Particularly with Uchida I always have the feeling that I'm missing something.I can see that SHE is having this incredible experience up there, but always wonder what any of it has to do with me. PR & marketing.

  • Jascha Heifetz FTW!

  • @surfboy Bell is a warm interpreter. Very warm, lyrical. Fireworks and grandstanding are not his style, and while his mannerisms are distracting on a video, his warmth is attractive.
