61. Stereophile: Art, Music, Kennedy & Commerce and classical violinist kennedy (formerly known as nigel kennedy) for kennedy s violin is his 21stcentury reply to Hendrix s Fender Stratocaster. http://stereophile.com/thinkpieces/700art/

George Reisch, July, 2000 Art and commerce are butting heads once again, now that England's popular Brit Awards include a category for classical music. Last month's inaugural nominees included some highbrow names (Rachmaninoff, Bryn Terfel), but leaned heavily on such "crossover" artists as Paul McCartney for his orchestral forays, and classical violinist Kennedy (formerly known as Nigel Kennedy) for The Kennedy Experience Take classical music critic Cosmo Landesmann's comments about The Kennedy Experience (Sony Classical SK 61687): "The point of Jimi Hendrix and that kind of music is not to find inner depth. You cannot transform the Hendrix sound upon a violin, you end up with a terrible mush." What kind of "inner depth" is Landesmann looking for? Is it really absent from popular music? Are pop and classical two separate worlds of music, complete with different kinds of feeling, intelligence, and depth? It's easy to be a snob (writes the audiophile), but don't do it Landesmann's way. If "that kind of music" couldn't possibly have the musical depth and integrity of Bach's or Mozart's, that could only be because Hendrix and other pop artists lived and worked in the late 20th century, a time far removed and isolated from the golden age of classical music. As a product and expression of his times (what artist isn't?), Hendrix wouldn't have noticed the value of classical music if it bit his arse through his velvet bell-bottoms. Of course, music critics didn't invent this notion of a "golden age" of art, or the complaint that present times don't measure up. The classical renaissance and rise of humanism in 15th-century Europe were all about recapturing the (supposedly) lost wisdom, art, and technology of Antiquity. Judeo-Christian traditions share beliefs about Eden and the decline of humanity, and new-age devotees have a thing or two (or three) to say about ancient, forgotten truths they claim to have rediscovered. The myth of the golden age dies hard.

His versatility is confusing. What other guitarist could have begun his career as a member of Soft Machine and the Stephan Grappelli Quintet? For this set Etheridge revisits Grappelli territory, but in the spirit of exploration rather than nostalgia. His companionns are rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie, bassist Malcolm Creese and Christian Garrick, the best young violinist in jazz today. The programme ranges from old ballads, such as 'I'm Through With Love', to a death defying version of Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' that would cause other guitarists to fall apart from the first chorus." (Dave Gelly - The Observer - CD Of The Week) "This quartet is a working band. Since recording their first CD 'Sweet Chorus' they have chalked up nearly 150 live performances in a rhythmic cohesion and creative flow that is evident from the fiirst bar... Dave Kelbie's rhythm guitar is a joy in itself, firm but relaxed, clearly executed but never obtrusive. Chris Garrick is simply the most accomplished and expressive jazz violinist on today's jazz scene... consistently inventive. Malcolm Creese is one of the most in demand bass players around.. A virtuoso who never overplays, his handsome broad bass sound underpins the quartet...

Help Monday, June 28, 1999 Published at 00:48 GMT 01:48 UK Entertainment Belgrade ovation for Kennedy Nigel Kennedy: Concert was "fun, emotional and atmospheric" Violinist Nigel Kennedy received four standing ovations after becoming the first Western musician to perform in Yugoslavia since the Kosovo conflict. Belgrade's Sava Centre was packed with 3,700 people, who heard Kennedy play with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. The British musician, who will not be receiving a fee, described his visit to the city as a "non-political" gesture of support to the orchestra, with whom he performed in December 1997. Last week he took part in the Unicef benefit event for Kosovar refugees in London. "It was really fun and particularly emotional and atmospheric," he said after the concert. "It was the first time in a long while that so many people have been able to come together publicly to enjoy themselves." Serbian President Milan Milutinovic and his wife Olga enjoy the performance They were led by conductor Bojan Sudjich and performed a popular programme of Bruch's Violin Concerto, a Bach double concerto and some solo Bach works.

Home Classifieds Today's Joke SHOP ... Wallace This is actually where "Canada" got its name from. The "Kennedies" were among the first Irish/Scots to arrive in the new territory and were so-named because of their "canny dae" attitude which saw them sit back and watch while other people did the real work of building a country. The "canny dae's" or "canny dae yins" were, ergo, the first politicians of what we now know as Canada. Bored with the accent and the crap climate, a branch of these original Kennedies moved to the East Coast of America and became the first family of that country. The first family to buy the Presidency anyway. There are Irish "Canny dae's" and Scottish "Canny dae's" but it makes no odds really for those born under what is now officially known as the "Kennedy Curse". On the upside you are probably wealthy and privileged, but on the downside you are destined to die tragically young, either by shooting or in some kind of plane crash.

KENNEDY For the past 25 years, Nigel Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos and is, without doubt, one of the most important violinists Britain has ever produced. His virtuosic technique, unique talent and popular appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire. In 1992, Kennedy took the controversial and highly publicised decision to withdraw completely from public performance. During this period, EMI issued A Portrait of Nigel Kennedy. Following a five-year sabbatical, in April 1997, Kennedy made a triumphant return to the international concert platform. Even though the performance took place during the run-up to the British General Election, news of Kennedy’s reappearance occupied the front pages of national newspapers. The Times critic declared, "Only one British violinist in my lifetime has produced anything as bold and exhilarating as that. It is his playing, though, that most reveals Kennedy's new maturity. No other violinist on earth could manage the astonishing stylistic transition presented." The Daily Telegraph stated, "Here was a reminder that Kennedy is a violinist in a million." Since then, Kennedy has been in constant demand on the international circuit, touring major venues in countries throughout the world, including Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. In 1998, he made a highly acclaimed North American tour, his first for over five years and, since then, he has returned to the USA many times.

Nigel Kennedy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Nigel Kennedy (born December 28 in Brighton, England ) is a violinist and violist . He was a pupil at the Yehudi Menuhin School Kennedy has done much to popularise classical music , particularly among young people. He has also performed and recorded most of the major violin concerti Though his carefully maintained loutish persona is seen by some as abrasive and has limited his career, many respected musicians hold him in high esteem. With one of these, cellist Lynn Harrell , he has recorded a well-received album of duets. Currently, he has been exploring Polish music with the Polish folk band Kroke . When not touring, he divides his time between residences in Malvern, Worcestershire and Cracow Poland Kennedy expresses concern for the immediate appeal of live performance, and often records entire works or movements in single 'takes' to preserve this sense in his recordings. He also introduces improvisatory elements in his performances, as in his Jimi Hendrix -inspired cadenza to the Beethoven violin concerto and his jazz and fusion recordings.

document.write(code); Cover Story Excerpted from Strings Magazine, February/March 2000, No. 84 Photo by Rankin. Live Kennedy The Comeback Kid by Timothy Pfaff It’s a good thing that Kennedy’s playing speaks for itself, because it’s a difficult phenomenon to discuss sensibly. Both the playing and the player divide opinion, and not just in two. Virtually all the possible positions one could take have already been staked out and articulated. Sides have been taken. Meanwhile, the bad-boy behavior and angelic playing continue apace, and, evidence is, one preternaturally cheerful violinist is laughing all the way to the bank. Whatever the case, it’s not every artist who could achieve increased visibility by disappearing, which is precisely what Kennedy did in the early ’90s. Easily the most attention-getting thing he’s done—in a career that often seems to be about little else—was vanish. But even today, more than two years after his much-vaunted return, Kennedy’s five-year "sabbatical" from the classical concert stage is a move about which he’s notably circumspect. "I was stepping back from all other considerations and revisiting in my mind the reasons I wanted to be a musician in the first place," he says in a recent interview in San Francisco, where he is performing the Brahms Concerto with the Symphony. "I think music should be a spiritual experience, and if it gets taken over by a kind of technical formula of interpretation, or professional formula of presentation, then you’re no longer being the artist you wanted to be in the first place.
