Nigel Kennedy - Uncensored
Nigel Kennedy (violin) / English Chamber Orchestra, Jeffrey Tate / Berliner Philharmoniker
[ Warner Classics / 3 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Thursday 25 November 2021
This is not an autobiography, but a journey through Nigel Kennedy's sixty-four seasons played home and away. It begins on a freezing balcony in Brighton before taking in the Yehudi Menuhin School and New York's Julliard School (of Artistic Mediocrity), various concert halls and recording studios, police forces around the world, Aston Villa and classical music as redefined by Nigel. Here are Nigel's thoughts on boxing, composing, Aston Villa, Vivaldi, violins and much more, all told in Nigel's inimitable voice and idiosyncratic fashion.
This triple CD compilation accompanies Kennedy's book of the same name, and includes excerpts from the text in the liner notes.
"..warmly recommended for exceptionally strong and positive performances, vividly recorded."
