DVD VideosNigel Kennedy |
 (b Brighton, 28 Dec 1956). "Kennedy," as he chose to be known for a time, is an individualistic and undeniably talented violinist who has emerged as one of the bona fide stars of the rich generation that came of age in the last quarter of the twentieth century. He has made a point of discarding what he sees as the conservative, staid traditions of classical concertmaking, and his personality may be summed up as flamboyant. He studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School and the Juilliard and made his Festival Hall début with the LPO in 1977, playing in Berlin (1980) and Australia (1981) and touring in the USA (1985). He is specially admired for his playing and recording of the Elgar Concerto and the Vivaldi Seasons, a driving performance that rapidly became a bestseller; he is also known for his playing of jazz and rock.

| |  | Nigel Kennedy - Polish Spirit
“Mlynarski's superbly romantic Violin Concerto is a real find that Nigel Kennedy has done much to champion. In both the recording of the concert, complete with solo encores, and the accompanying documentary there is no doubting Nigel Kennedy's deep involvement with this repertoire, as much to the fore in the performance of the Karlowicz Concerto, nor his rapport with the orchestra and audience.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** “All that designer stubble and estuary English can't disguise the high-class violinist he is.” The Guardian | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Kennedy à la Citadelle
live performance “Age catches up with even the most fleet-footed of subversive Peter Pans, so it’s kind reassuring to see Kennedy mellowing a little. …throughout all four concertos one is held mesmerised by Kennedy's ability to reveal the music's inner soul. Gone is the pretension of 'never playing dead geezers' music' and Kennedy's former brutish railing against tradition - he says as much in an introductory chat. Some listeners may also feel more comfortable than I do with Kennedy's 'gang loose' encore excursion into Jimi Hendrix territory (the audience lap it up, it has to be said). But there's no denying the man's charismatic stage presence nor his fantastic ability - when he chooses to indulge it to the full. Exemplary picture quality and sound.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2006 **** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
