Nigel Kennedy At The Proms

[quizzywig]

Watched Nigel last night totally ruining Vivaldi's Four Seasons - unfortunately Mr Q seemed to be quite enjoying it so I was stuck with it for an hour and a half!!!

I didn't see it, but I've seen him perform that live in the past, it was superb - what was the matter with it?

[murraymints]

I saw him in concert on castle..esplanade..Edinburgh..years ago ,about 15, he was brilliant !

It took some getting used to but I quite enjoyed it. The 15year old Palestinian gave as good as he got. A name to look for in the future

Well to each their own. I didn't enjoy it much and I only heard the first five seconds before I turned it off.

Well, at least you weren't there! Haven't seen what else was on, but if the first piece was listed as "Commissioned by the BBC. First performance" your agony would have been complete.

Hardly stuck with it. You can go to a different room and do something else.

it was enjoyable; i would have preferred the traditional rendering but it was worth watching

[shoota]

With you Q - I love Vivaldi but having heard Kennedy in the past mauling the Four Seasons I didn't watch the prog.
No doubt Kennedy can play but his performances are too mannered and full of his personality for my taste.

Damn - I missed it - Is it on again?

Geezer - was quite happy with my crossword book - we don't have that many other rooms to choose from!
