Review of Joshua Bell, violinist--biographical (2 tracks)
Also many typical questions about music tastes, early influences, etc. I honestly don't know much about classical music, so I am not the most erudite reviewer.
The strange thing about this interview is the interviewer sound like he's on the phone, while the interviewee, Josh, sounds like he's in-studio. The focus of the interview, Josh, is completely in focus and sounds good. Would be good on any classical music show.
