A maestro swears in
Article Abstract:
Violinist Nigel Kennedy has spent his adult life rebelling against the very conventional classical music training he was forced to undergo as a child. He enjoyed great success with the 'Four Seasons' recording, and then hid away from the limelight for five years. However, he returned to performing in 1997. He recently appeared in Vienna, Austria, where he paid homage to violinist Fritz Kreisler. He performed Kreisler's String Quartet in A minor, as well as Bach's Sonata Number Three and his own 'Hendrix: Concerto in Suite Form.'
