Joshua Bell is a Grammy award winning classical violinist. He came into the limelight at 14 years old! Now at 34, he has had 30 albums. But At Home With Friends is different than all the others. Why? Because this is the first time he has combined the violin and vocals.
At Home With Friends covers all of the genres, from classical to pop, bluegrass to Broadway, jazz and ethnic World Music. There are even a couple of seasonal tracks in there, just in time to celebrate the holidays.
This is a really great CD to listen to and just have a relaxing time. It's a wonderful mix of classical and contemporary music.
