Beautiful music in a noisy world.

I bought this CD as an escape, to replace all the daily "noise" of life with just simply beautiful music. I couldn't be more pleased. If destressing while rewarding yourself is a priority in your life, you won't be disappointed with this Joshua Bell gem.

Incredible album.

The first song is so good, it's hard to allow the CD to move to the next. I need to get the rest of his albums. Heard one of his songs on NPR, which prompted the purchase. Well worth the money spent!

wonderful surprise

This recording has quickly become a most favorite cd in my collection. My personal preference had always been for opera and not symphony concert. To hear the violin replace the voice and line of the opera singer (in two of the excerpts) was a wonderful surprise for me, and has enhanced my enjoyment of all of this recording.

Over and over and over....

That's how I want to play this CD! It's a wonderful line-up of rich, mellow, captivating compositions played with a warmth and vibrancy that is seldom heard. Joshua at his very best. You won't be disappointed.

Non-standard CD format

The music on this CD deserves five stars, but the CD itself is a non-standard format that doesn't work on all players. There's a tiny warning on the back of the CD. You won't notice the warning until you discover that the CD doesn't work on your player. My Macintosh computer wouldn't read the non-standard format so there was no way for me to listen in my office or put the music on my iPod.

A friend's PC was able to read the CD and make a copy in standard format that can be read on any player, including my Mac. The story had a happy ending, but I can not comprehend why the publisher chose the oddball CD specification.

The music is excellent and worth the trouble of making a copy, but the publisher really shouldn't make you go to that effort just to listen to a CD that you paid for.
