Nigel Kennedy - Antonio Vivaldi - (Le Quattro Stagioni)[EAC - FLAC] (oan)



What is left to be said, musically, about a work that features on around a
hundred recordings in the current UK catalogue alone? In explaining that he
has not been "seduced" by the "authentic" movement, Kennedy notes, "In my
opinion, if a piece of music belongs only to the time in which it was written, it
should not be played today". Thus his approach draws on the entire tradition of
violin playing: "Once I've established an instinctive relationship with the music, I
need to use every technique I know to communicate that to the listener".
Communicate Nigel Kennedy certainly does, bringing a fresh eye to a work
over-familiarity has consigned to background music. His "Adagio Molto" from
Concerto No. 3 opens with an extraordinary spectral bowing effect, while the
following "Allegro" has a zestful percussive snap. His tempos are faster, his
rhythms more accentuated and dynamic, his playing more vigorous and
involved than we are used to. The effect is startling and exhilarating, making
this a Four Seasons to be listened to. Putting the solo instrument once more to
the fore, Nigel Kennedy has done us a great service, reminding us that these
truly are fine concertos, bringing this vibrant music once more to our attention.
-- Gary S. Dalkin
