Joshua Bell on the Paganini Violin Concerto / Academy of St Martin in the Fields

In early February 2020 we were in the rehearsal room with our Music Director, violinist Joshua Bell, preparing for a tour of the US. We didn't know then that this tour was to be our last for over a year. In this behind-the-scenes film, Joshua Bell discusses the Paganini Violin Concerto which he hadn't played since he was 16 years old.
