A concert of superlatives: The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Joshua Bell, who replaces Julia Fischer as violin soloist, make their guest debut at the “Johannisberg International”.
The American soloist, Joshua Bell, has enchanted audiences worldwide with his breathtaking virtuosity and his rare beauty of tone. Today, he is equally at home as soloist, chamber musician and orchestra leader. His restless curiosity and wide-ranging musical interests have earned him the rare title of “classical-music superstar”. Gramophone simply wrote, “Bell is dazzling”.
