I had the privilege of reviewing Joshua Bell's At Home With Friends CD given to me by One2One Network. What a beautiful and romantic CD, a mixture of classical with modern and international flavors.
Bell plays instruments beautifully. He is paired with some of the best musicians of all times which adds flavor and personality to the musical works. One of my favorites song on the CD is Para Ti. It reminds me of an old Italian love song which is classic and priceless. It is as if you feel you are in Italy while listening to Para Ti.
My six year old son gave his approval to Bell's CD as well. He liked how the music had "different beats". He liked how some "were slow" and others "fast". My son is starting to notice the different rhythms, beats and even instruments being used.
I would highly recommend Bell's CD, for the music lover of sorts. This is sure to enlighten not only adult music lovers, but children as well. This is great exposure to international and classical music.
