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 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Vivaldi - The Four Seasonsfrom original manuscripts
“…the period-instrument band Europa Galante and violinist Fabio Biondi… have taken a new broom to every concerto in the collection. In every concerto they've radically rethought phrasing, articulation, attack and rhetoric. …it's never less than exhilarating. And Europa Galante crowns its recording with a quartet of Seasons designed to make us think again about the music. The better we know the Seasons, the more surprising and effective their new ideas appear...” BBC Music Magazine, October 2006 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
