这篇review写得很好的说~~~ 原文如下: The Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is often described as the "most perfect" concerto for the instrument. Whether or not one concurs, anyone who heard Joshua Bell's transporting performance with the Houston Symphony on Friday at Jones Hall is likely to cite him as the work's most perfect interpreter of his generation. All the hallmarks of the superstar violinist's artistry — the pure and singing tone, the graceful phrasing, his rigorous yet refined bowing style and virtuosic technique — seemed ideally suited to this felicitously balanced and skillfully constructed composition. Mendelssohn arranged for every carefully developed musical idea to flow seamlessly to the next, even bridging the three movements so there is no break through the entire concerto. That master plan of a subtle yet steadily advancing drive was borne out by the thoughtfulness and focused energy of Bell's playing. Under maestro Hans Graf, the orchestra played with the same responsiveness to the soloist's role that Bell showed to the orchestra. The first movement passage in which the wistful second theme alternated between soloist and woodwinds typified the sense of a lively musical dialogue. Bell's grand first movement cadenza was spectacular, but just as impressive was the sensitivity he brought to the prayerful main theme of the Andante movement. The decisive flourish with which he launched the capering main theme of the vivacious finale set the pace for a sparkling movement that sprinted to an exhilarating finish and won one of the most spontaneous and prolonged standing ovations Jones Hall has seen in a while.
