Nothing Says Quiet Like Oblivion
Nothing Says Quiet Like Oblivion Joshua Bell Photo by Timothy White
Violinist Joshua Bell resists romantic Argentinean urges by David Srebnik Violinist Joshua Bell's new CD ("At Home With Friends") includes a tango by the Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla.

Piazzolla's music delves deep into a world of exotic, romantic and gritty passion. His music is good on the ears and the imagination, but there's more than one way to play Piazzolla.

Joshua Bell talked with David Srebnik about the choices he made when he recorded Piazzolla's "Oblivion."

Joshua Bell's new CD, "At Home with Friends," recreates some of the musical soirees he enjoys at home with his musical and music-loving friends, including Sting, Josh Groban, Chris Thile, Regina Spektor, Edgar Meyer, Chris Botti and Tempo Libre.
