About this Artist

About This Item

Joshua Bell, the Grammy-winning violinist, fulfills a life-long dream of recording a CD of instrumental and vocal duets with a colorful roster of musicians, including Josh Groban, Sting, Kristin Chenoweth, Regina Spektor, and Chris Botti, among others.

The concept of At Home With Friends was inspired by Bell's long-time practice of holding "musical soirées" at his New York residence -- eclectic gatherings of musicians, actors, comics, literary figures, and others who convene for the sheer joy of sharing their art in an informal setting. With this in mind, Bell has spent the past four years designing and building his home in Manhattan to accommodate the ideal stay-at-home venue.

Of his inspiration for the album, Bell says: "Some of my most precious memories of childhood recall the 'family musicales' in my home -- my sisters, my parents, my cousins all playing music together and for each other during the holidays. Since then I went on to have many thrilling experiences in concert halls, but I still enjoy the experience of making music with my friends and family in a small, intimate setting. There's nothing like sitting on a pillow by the piano surrounded by passionate artists, not quite sure who's going to get up next to perform. It's my hope that this recording figuratively transports listeners into the room with us."

Don't miss the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition, which includes the bonus track "White Christmas" featuring Chris Botti. From the Label

December 05, 2009: One of the finest and most enjoyed albums I have ever purchased - the violin performances are beyond belief - the sound quality is superb. The combination of musicians are creative and unique. The violin of Joshua Bell reaches in and tugs at your heart strings!

October 23, 2009: This CD can set the mood in a second. Great for a relaxing evening with friends or alone to unwind after a hard week. I can hear this playing in the background of a dinner party as your friends are at home with you! Its great to hear two of my favorites, STING and Josh Groban, on songs with Joshua Bell. This is definitely an album to add to your collection.
