----------------------------------


"Joshua Bell's passionate playing in the Barber, full of tender poetry, is well matched by the excellent orchestra, ripely and brilliantly recorded, with the soloist well forward but not aggressively so. This now takes pride of place. It won the 1998 Gramophone Concerto Award and now reappears at mid-price in Universal's Gramophone Award Collection."
