Joshua Bell 'At Home With Friends' Review and Giveaway

If you love instrumental classics and you're crazy about violins, then this Joshua Bell cd is for you!

For those of you who don't know who Joshua Bell is....he's an acclaimed violinist who first made his mark in music circles nationwide at the age of 14 and made his first debut in the respected Carnegie Hall. From then on, there has been no looking back for this gifted violinist. (Read more on Joshua Bell's biography.)

Joshua Bell's 'At Home With Friends' resounds with talent and eloquence in musical conversation. You can tell that the violin is played by a skilled performer especially when you hear 'Para Ti', one of my favorite tracks on this cd. The crisp perfection and tempo make this, I feel, a showcase of what Joshua Bell can do as a performer. Very impressive!

The music, overall, is soothing and great to play in the background when you have friends over for a nice home cooked meal.....perfectly tying in with the title of this cd!

'At Home With Friends' has released today and can be bought from Amazon.com at a reduced price of 11.99 US$. This is also available on all music sites, including iTunes, Target and Walmart.
