Varsity Arts & Culture -- A Violin Upside The Head A Violin Upside the Head. Violin superstar nigel kennedy make a comeback. A TorontoSymphony Orchestra (TSO) concert recently featured violinist nigel kennedy. http://varsity.utoronto.ca:16080/archives/119/nov30/review/aviolin.html
Extractions: A Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) concert recently featured violinist Nigel Kennedy. Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos for nearly twenty years. He recently dropped his first name, Nigel, to become simply Kennedy - very much in the style of a pop icon, say critics. His multi-award-winning discography includes Vivaldi's The Four Seasons - which earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the best selling classical records of all time. The charismatic violin virtuoso has brought fresh perspectives to both classical and contemporary repertoire. Kennedy has returned to the international concert stage after a five-year sabbatical, and is now in the midst of his American tour. Throughout October, he appeared in several major cities, including Toronto, as soloist in the Brahms violin concerto. Currently, he is performing a series of Jimi Hendrix recitals, which opened in New York and will end in Vancouver. The TSO concert program at Roy Thompson Hall began with the TSO premier of Memento Mori by contemporary award-winning composer, Chan Ka Nin. In Latin, the phrase "memento mori" is a reminder of the inevitable death. Vibrant strings interspersed with eerie wind and percussion arrangements effectively cast a sonorous, exotic atmosphere with a lingering ending. The TSO, with guest conductor Bramwell Tovey, rendered a meaningful interpretation, where solemn and nostalgic sections contrasted with youthful and glorious ones. The sustained tone and repeated notes symbolized man's ultimate fate and the eternal.

Extractions: When Nigel Kennedys recording of the Four Seasons sold 2 million copies, it made him the best selling classical musician of all time. A restless soul, he gave up playing music publicly for 5 years, returning to do a Jimi Hendrix tribute, among other things. His new album, East Meets East teams him up with the deep Polish klezmer trio Kroke who we featured on the Planet in 1999. Its probably a happy coincidence that he met them because he lives in Krakow, but the music is hot, a great forum for Kennedys prodigious technique and passion. His ultra-high, perfectly in tune high notes and his rock and roll inspired electric violin have to be heard to be believed.
Brockhaus - Lexika - Sachlexika Translate this page 12. 1956 in Brighton geborene britische violinist nigel kennedy studierte, von YehudiMenuhin gefördert, an der Yehudi Menuhin School, dann an der Juilliard http://www.brockhaus.de/produkte/sachlexika/musik/musik_kurzinfos.php?info=7
Extractions: Violinist Nigel Kennedy and Polish folk group Kroke in a celebration of Eastern European and Mediterranean culture. This album is really quite unique - Nigel brings his classical skills to the table (he trained under Yehudi Menuin) both in terms of compositions and playing style. Yet, the Kroke Band's gypsy sound is in full force throughout most of the album as well, meaning that some of these pieces have some serious adrenaline running through them. Influences from North Africa and the Middle East are incorporated as well, adding to the album's joyful pandemonium. Includes the song 'Ajde Jano' with special guest vocalist Natacha Atlas. Ajde Jano (w/ Natacha Atlas) Please note! Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia.

Extractions: Violinist Nigel Kennedy long stopped annoying or surprising concertgoers and disc buyers with his looks and mannersthe cover of this CD pictures him with red and blue paint on his face, and he's biting his violin. If that irritates you, his playing certainly will not. Here, two movements from Vivaldi's Four Seasons act as bookends to, among other pieces: a Satie , exquisitely played, with lovely embellishments near its close; Vaughan Williams's floating Lark Ascending ; a stunning, virtuosic Bach solo (never before released); a soft-edged Bach chorale; a soupy, sentimental "Danny Boy"; a slightly overwrought "Scarborough Fair"; a piece by Kennedy himself; and a few other surprises. Kennedy's tone is lush and warm, and his emotionalism almost never overwhelms the music. Greatest hits? More like greatest encores. But definitely a terrific 71 minutes of fiddling. Robert Levine

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The International Eisteddfod The Eisteddfod (literally 'sitting') is a Welsh festival of literature, music, and song. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, but the present-day format owes more to a Victorian revival. The most important eisteddfod is the National Eisteddfod, held annually and usually alternating between North and South Wales. It has a heavy druidic flavour, with the crowning and chairing ceremonies for the victorious poets being attended by bards in flowing white costumes, children dancing, and a horn playing. However, the heritage of this ceremony is of dubious provenance; we have little idea of how the original druids lived, nor even of who they were.

Extractions: icWales St David's Hall, Cardiff, 31 March, 2004 Much to my surprise all seats were not taken as my son and I took our places at St David's Hall for the Vivaldi experience with Nigel Kennedy and the English Symphony Orchestra. A real big match atmosphere filled the hall and the tension increased until the members of the ESO appeared. While they tuned up, necks were craned waiting for a glimpse of the man we'd all come to see. As Nigel Kennedy took the stage and the applause died away it was clear from the humorous banter and appreciative laughter that the intimate nature of this venue suited both audience and performer. Following a brief chat about Vivaldi and the concert ahead we were off. Having listened to the CD with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra it was fascinating to watch the interaction of the other musicians who played alongside Kennedy all hugely talented in their own right. The audience - perhaps more enthusiastic than deeply knowledgeable - clapped between some movements but not others, which made for a disjointed first half. This was exacerbated when the orchestra had to repeat one part for a latecomer (at Kennedy's insistence!).
