From NPR.org:

Joshua Bell was once a boy wonder of the violin. Now, at 46, he leads nine young musicians in Masterclass.

While you're waiting for that one, you might like this one, if you haven't already seen it.

Joshua Bell on the receiving end of a masterclass, with Ivan Galamian.  Back when Mr Bell was around 12 or 13 yrs old.

Only a 10 minute clip, but it does have some interesting points.
