Joshua Bell (1967) is an American violinist.
Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor - Allegro molto appasionato
I've heard Isabelle Faust play this live with the Freiburger Barockorchester, twice. Peaceful and strong. He uses good gimmicks. How fanciful and delightful! The fast part is some of the best I've heard and he played through it all well. He's not just there to show off; there's so much more to it, it sounds. Very musical when nothing else is playing.
Faure: Violin Sonata No. 1 in A Major - IV Allegro quasi presto
This is a good one, done against a piano. It's different to play violin with piano, than solo with orchestra. The piano is so powerful, but ensembles can be better. Very good regularity of the beat near the end.
Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Major - III Allegro giocoso ma non troppo vivace
Very peculiar and quaint, like a great carnival. Sounds almost other-worldly. Sounds like a dance. It sounds nice with the flips with I think the flute and some background like a distant tune, near the end.

CD - Susan Boyle - I Dreamed a Dream (2009)
Susan Boyle (1961) is a Scottish singer from Britain's Got Talent.
I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables)
Some of it is very refined, unbelievable in those parts and in that way. Gets very exciting. Her voice sounds better than a professional.
How Great Thou Art
Very chilling and extremely mysterious. I guess I'm not alone in that you can make subtle, calm music sound appealing.
Amazing Grace
It sounds like she would be a good lead singer in the US, instilling a calm in others. It has interesting points/areas and moreso than many/most other singers overall.
Silent Night
A nice beat. Very pretty and introspective. Deep and religious. A Christmasy atmosphere. Cute when it sounds like wailing in the background by the choir.

CD - 6 Brandenburg Concertos... (1979)
composed by Johann Sebastian Bach
directed by Trevor Pinnock
featuring The English Concert
My Commentary:
Brandenburg Concerto 3 - 1st Movement
Very well executed and diligently practiced and nicely blended. Conscientious and attuned. Beautiful and wonderful rhythm. It seems like it could pass for a good German recording, with attention to some details more than appreciated normally in much of classical music. Stunningly pleasing and in good saneness.
