Joshua Bell's playing is breathtaking!, July 30 2004
By pinky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Romantic Vln (Audio CD)
Joshua's recordings of these various pieces are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking--technical perfection from a true virtuoso. His playing evokes warmth and emotion without going to the extremes. However, this is a compilation album, and that is where the problem lies. It seems as though the songs were just randomly tossed together and slapped with the title "Romantic Violin"--an obvious marketing ploy by Decca to cash in on the success of Joshua's Sony release "Romance of the Violin". I doubt Joshua had any say in this album's content as it seriously lacks any cohesion. Take the last track for example: the Rondo from Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole, which is fast, joyful and vibrant. A more suitable choice would have been the Andante, which is slower and sets the mood better. Overall, I would say that this is a good album to "just have." Therefore, I give it 4 stars.I recommend "The Kreisler Album"--in my opinion one of Joshua's best recordings--since many of the tracks on this album are taken from it. The selection of pieces flows much better in it than in this album. And if you are really seeking romance from Joshua, look to the "Romance of the Violin." You will instantly be drawn in by the ravishingly beautiful music, and perhaps even be in tears after listening to it.

a loud romance, Mar 28 2009
By wogan "the book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Romantic Vln (Audio CD)
My main `complaint' with this album is that for a CD labeled the romantic violin, the orchestra, overpowers the playing of the violin in so many instances. Now I know from attending symphonies, even those where Joshua Bell has played, this is often the case - the way the composer wrote it. I know it still does not have to be interpreted this way and I do not like having to turn up and down the volume when I am listening to music to appreciate the nuances of the soloist or having the orchestra parts overwhelm me, my neighbors or the car sitting next to me. I am a huge admirer of Joshua Bell for years and remember telling lovers of classical music what a star he would be. He has fulfilled his promise. I just wish his recording companies would

May be..., Mar 14 2008
By David B. White "Sagitarius" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Romantic Vln (Audio CD)
I'd love to review this item, but Amazon has failed totally to produce the goods. In fact I've waited so long I've gone out and ordered it from a real live shop with people at the end of a phone. How can Amazon imagine that they produce a good service if it takes longer than six weeks to realise an order. No, I have not "purchased this CD" - it hasn't arrived yet after six weeks of waiting. When it comes ( and I've waited six months in the past for another Amazon CD) it will be returned immediately. I would have benefitted if Amazon had said - It will take a long time for this CD to arrive - we are not very good at delivering. I would need to know before ordering that Amazon can't deliver!
