Joshua Bell : At Home With Friends
At Home With Friends is inspired by Joshua Bell's fondness for hosting informal musicales in his Manhattan home. Join the Grammy Award-winning violinist as he celebrates the many musical friendships he has made over the years - a diverse group of artists sharing their love of music in an intimate setting. Features vocal and instrumental duets with Chris Botti, Sting, Josh Groban, Kristin Chenoweth, Regina Spektor and many others. Love the soulful tunes of Joshua Bell and his many talented friends. Two songs played with the bandoneon, Oblivion and Il Postino, really have captured heart. This album is a great mix of classical, modern and international. You will not be disappointed in this album at all.
Favorite song is probably "My Funny Valentine" with Kristin Chenoweth. "Left Hand Song" with Regina Spektor struck as very odd/"out there" the first few times. It's a neat side of Sting to hear him perform the classical "Come Again."
