Joshua Bell Clip: "As far as I'm concerned, any piece of great music you can look at as being religious because it brings you what religion is supposed to bring to you. That's a glimpse of something heavenly. And for me, music is my religion, you know, and it brings me that element of awe and beauty that people look to religion for."
