Talent of the Gods<\/p><\/div>\n

Another amphitheater show last night. This time it was an all-Tchaikovsky programme highlighted by the virtuoso Joshua Bell as the soloist for the composer\u2019s Violin Concerto. <\/p>\n

Bell \u2014 ever heard of him? better yet, ever heard him? \u2014 is an all-timer, and this performance did not disappoint. By turns imperious and impassioned, Bell dictated with brilliance and love the full range of his instrument; technically and dynamically, he was impeccable, yet his was not a robotic interpretation of the classic piece. The cadenzas in particular were rapturous and soulful. Top, top, top.<\/p>\n

Of course, the people always enjoy the finale 1812 monstrosity, complete with the USC Trojan Marching Band and fireworks and bells and cannonfire. A little clich\u00e9d by now, but we still get into it. <\/p>\n

We were fortunate enough to be sitting with three generations of Hollywood Bowl patrons, the youngest at age 3 attending his first show. It was a clean, wholesome feeling. <\/p>\n
