Joshua Bell will perform and sign copies of his latest album, Voice of the Violin, at 7 pm at the Lincoln Triangle branch of Barnes & Noble, at Broadway and West 65th St. in Manhattan.
Voice of the Violin is Bell's disc of favorite arias and songs transcribed for violin solo, accompanied by the Orchestra of St. Luke's led by Michael Stern. Last month it reached the no. 1 slot in its first week on the Billboard classical chart.
Selections on the album include transcriptions of Schubert's Ave Maria and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise and popular arias by Mozart, Bizet, Donizetti and Dvorák.
