 for the adventerous April 23, 2008

i too am a fan of nigel kennedy , but this recording doesnt do anything for me though as ever it is exceptionaly well played...but the combination of "modern" bits in among the classical music only distracts me..i like one or the other but if you are more adventurous than me,i highly recomend it!
 Still the greatest violinist April 16, 2008

I have been a fan of Nigel Kennedy since he became famous with his Four Seasons recording abotu 20 years ago and was amazed to hear the same sense of freshness and energy in this new recording of Beethoven and Mozart. I would definitely recommend this CD.
A breath of fresh air.....? April 15, 2008

Er...that cadenza. I love it. It's awesome. It's fresh, it's different, it has absolutely nothing to do with Mozart, but I love it. It's otherworldly. You're listening to Mozart, then you're in a different universe, then you find yourself listening to Mozart again. It makes me think Nigel Kennedy should write his own Violin Concerto, and perform it himself. I'm not sure what the purists, or 'cognoscenti' will think of it, but there are plenty of other 'straight' performances of these pieces. This is a breath of fresh air, I think.
