Joshua Bell has appropriated some of [the vocal repertoire’s] best-loved songs and operatic arias, from Mozart through the romantics to Orff. Slow, sustained, lovely and yes, singing, these beguiling melodies and wide emotional range are eminently well suited to the violin. Of course, Bell is very good at all this, and it’s the playing that’s really the thing. His tone is ravishingly beautiful, warm on the G-string, radiant up high, and always deeply expressive.
