b"Reposting this great interview with Joshua Bell who recently performed at Union Station in Washington.\\n\\nCheck out the recent article in the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/09/30/joshua-bell-on-his-union-station-crowd-this-is-more-like-it/) and then listen to the interview here afterwards. (update 10/1/14)\\n\\nHe performs and records not only classical music but also contemporary, bluegrass, Gershwin, and Bernstein. He plays a 1713 Stradivarius, known as 'The Gibson'. Bell was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in May 2000. On January 12, 2007, with Washington Post Staff Writer Gene Weingarten, he pretended he was a violin street busker at a Washington, D.C. subway stop as an experiment to see if people would pay attention in their rush to get to work at 8 a.m. in the morning. In 2013 The Boston Symphony Orchestra opened its Tanglewood with Joshua Bell and Rafael Fr\\xfchbeck de Burgos conducting Tchaikovsky\\u2019s Violin Concerto in D and Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
