Эта группа для всех тех,кому нравится творчество этого талантливого скрипача. As he begins a busy 2007-08 concert season, Grammy® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is reunited with Pulitzer Prize winning composer John Corigliano for the world premiere recording of The Red Violin Concerto recorded with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop. The release of The Red Violin Concerto follows a seminal year for Bell highlighted not only by his receiving the coveted Avery Fisher Prize, but being the only U.S. musician named by the World Economic Forum as one of the 250 Young Global Leaders, his appointment to the Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music faculty as a senior lecturer, and the release of The Essential Joshua Bell CD. In Bell’s concerts and recordings, his bold, charismatic artistry has brought a fresh voice to the most venerable masterpieces while also uncovering lesser known gems and new works. As an exclusive Sony Classical artist who has created a richly varied catalogue, his latest work, The Red Violin Concerto evolved during and after The Red Violin film whose score was composed by John Corigliano. While Corigliano won the Oscar for Best Original Score in 1999 for which Bell performed the violin solos while serving as artistic advisor and body double, Corigliano longed to expand upon the score. He would later compose three additional movements for the seven minute chaconne which was the heart of the soundtrack, and thus was born The Red Violin Concerto. The work was recorded with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop. Also on the CD is Corigliano’s Sonata for Violin and Piano with Bell accompanied by pianist Jeremy Denk. An exclusive Sony Classical artist, Bell continues to win acclaim for his all-Tchaikovsky disc, released in 2005, featuring live performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. His exploration into the world of opera and song on Voice of the Violin also received excellent reviews and was a successful follow-up to the violinist’s remarkable reception of Romance of the Violin which Billboard Magazine’s named the 2004 “Classical Album of the Year And Bell the “Classical Artist of the Year” . The CD remained on the charts for more than two years. After summer performances at Tanglewood, the Verbier Festival in Switzerland and Mostly Mozart at Lincoln Center, Joshua Bell’s 2007-2008 performance season includes concerts with the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, a European tour with Kurt Masur conducting the Orchestre National de France as well as appearances with the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Chicago Symphony, the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra and the Tonhalle-Orchester. In October, he will premiere a new work written for him by Jay Greenberg with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall. He concludes 2007 – and welcomes 2008 – as the guest soloist with Lorin Maazel and the New York Philharmonic at the annual New Year’s Eve Gala at Lincoln Center. A recital tour with Jeremy Denk takes the pair to Europe and the U.S. including The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. Bell will also tour Europe as a guest soloist with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. For over two decades, Joshua Bell has been captivating audiences worldwide with his poetic musicality. He came to national 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 presence in the music world. Today 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, that has earned him the rare title of “classical music superstar.” In addition to his concert career, Bell enjoys chamber music collaborations with artists such as Pamela Frank, Steven Isserlis and Edgar Meyer as well as occasional c
