Nigel Kennedy

The letter is N for Nigel Kennedy

Before David Garrett

there was Nigel Kennedy

and although both of them are fabulous violinists

I know each note of  Nigel Kennedy

and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major

 (which I believe he recorded before 

he stopped for a period

making public appearances).

Anyway, I have had this CD for many long years

and the notes have wafted through the house

while I did dishes, made beds,

swept the floor, and all the other things 

home makers do....

at the same time I was listening to his marvelous recording

of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which added to his fame and reputation.

Both Garrett and Kennedy are inclined to exotic clothing

and exotic hair styles, but their music is heavenly.

I found a Youtube recording that gives testament 

to Nigel Kennedy's versatility,

wherein Bach flows into Jazz...

Wonderful!!

But more poignant is this lovely

spine chilling rendition of

Danny Boy
