About the artist Joshua Bell

For over two decades, Joshua Bell has been captivating audiences worldwide with his poetic musicality. He came to attention at the age of 14 in a highly acclaimed orchestral debut with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. A Carnegie Hall debut, the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and a recording contract further confirmed his unique presence in the music world. Bell’s career is exceptionally varied. He is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra leader and his restless curiosity and multifaceted musical interests have taken him in exciting new directions, forging a unique career that has earned him the rare title of ‘classical music superstar’. Few artists gain a recording contract from a cassette tape alone, but such was the brilliance and intensity of Joshua Bell’s playing on an audition cassette that Decca signed him while he was still a teenager.
