Joshua Bell with Tiempo Libre and Frankie Moreno

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Violinist Joshua Bell
Violinist Joshua Bell (Marc Hom)

Violinist Joshua Bell has appeared in the world’s leading concert halls, on the Oscar-winning score to the film The Red Violin, and even in a Washington, D.C. metro station, at the urging of a Washington Post columnist. But his latest recording, At Home With Friends, was inspired by his long-time practice of holding intimate "musical soirées" at his New York residence. Today, Bell joins us in the Greene Space to perform with two collaborators from the album: the hot young Latin band Tiempo Libre and singer-pianist Frankie Moreno.

    Bravo, Joshua, for NOT staying put in a "box"--for playing good music, whatever the genre, and for playing it so well!

    Home seems to be a theme for Mr. Bell like "Short Trip Home" one of my favorite albums!

    Awesome rendition of Eleanor Rigby! Luckily the album is on iTunes. 17 songs for 10 bucks is a great deal!

    I enjoyed the interview-Being an avid Frankie Moreno fan (he's my favorite piano player!) I heard your beautiful violin playing after purchasing "At home with friends".I love the "Eleanor Rigby" duet!
