While Bruch's First Violin Concerto may be the ultimate in romanticism for violin, the "Scottish Fantasy" is too schmaltzy by half, and its Germanic imitation of Celtic folk styles lacks the sparkling spirit of genuine Scottish music.Yet it's a difficult part for the soloist, and Bell acquitted himself admirably, smoothly negotiating the double and quadruple stops that imitate drones and fleetly flying up and down his instrument's register with astounding clarity.

Just as Beethoven's music charted a journey from tragedy to triumph, so did this performance ascend toward exultation.That's not to say that Bell was totally eclipsed by Beethoven. Bouncing, thrusting, parrying, his shifts of posture communicating the mood of the music, his trembling hands conveyed his intensity and asked the musicians to match it with their own.
