- The album "My World" by Nigel Kennedy: MyWorld.lnk.to/NigelKennedyID
Nigel Kennedy performs "Solitude" from his new album "My World" at the concert "Neue Meister III: Driven By Inspiration", which is dedicated to Yehudi Menuhin. The video was recorded live @ DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum Berlin feat. Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin
The first album by Nigel Kennedy in which he features his own compositions is at the same time the most intimate view yet of his world: a colourful kaleidoscope of sounds. He has written works inspired by his mentors Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern and Stéphane Grappelli, and artists like Mark O’Connor and Jarek Śmietana, while composing a whole new suite to Anton Chekhov’s play Three Sisters. On My World, Kennedy shows how well string orchestra, rock band and piano go together once you forget the stereotypes.
Nigel Kennedy has been true to his vision throughout his career: making music that transcends all conventions. My W”orld retraces how meeting his mentors shaped his musical understanding and changed his career path. Yehudi Menuhin probably had the most important influence on Kennedy: “I feel that Yehudi Menuhin gives me a direct route back to the music of Bach. Also Menuhin paid for my education at his school so without him I would probably not be playing classical music at all.” Next to Menuhin, meeting Stéphane Grappelli was a crucial moment: “I met Stéphane for the first time when he was playing to us kids in the Yehudi Menuhin School; I surprised him by jumping on the stage and joining him in his performance, which was the catalyst for a long musical relationship with him. He loved it that a 14-year-old kid was into his music and could also play it. From my point of view, it was invaluable to meet a musician who, when playing, proved that serious music doesn’t have to be depressing.”
Listening to My World it becomes very clear how strong jazz music has influenced Kennedy. This is to be heard in the dedications to Polish jazz guitarist Jarosław Śmietana or Nashville based country-jazz-blues violinist and composer Mark O’Connor and also represented in the band line-up. Orphy Robinson, who has already played with Don Cherry, Wynton Marsalis, David Murray and many famous jazz musicians, plays vibes and percussion alongside Adam Czerwinski on drums. Tomasz Kupiec on bass has to lay the groundwork for three guitarists: long-time touring guitarist Rolf Bussalb, young Julian Buschberger and Doug Boyle, who used to play with Robert Plant and is now assistant producer of Nigel’s album. Considering this line-up, “My World” sounds surprisingly calm and classical. The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra has a permanent role throughout, while the band only plays some of the time. Overall Nigel demonstrates what a great soloist he is: virtuosic but never plays a note too many - just like his musical idols. He has written an album full of great melodies. Three Sisters is clear evidence of this. The inspiration for the suite comes from Nigel’s wife Agnieszka, who has produced the play by Anton Chekhov for the stage. Fascinated by the underlying psychological study of the play, Nigel started writing his own Three Sisters suite.

Simply: great! Took my breath away
So beautiful, such a pleasure to listen to and to watch. Wish I had been there. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Maestro! Simple amazing your music! Beautiful! 💙🇺🇾
Liebe den Song schon seit ich ein Kind bin, war immer mein Lieblingssong auf "Gratest Hits", wobei ich nie wusste, dass der Song von ihm ist. Und der Jam, den er sich hier mit dem Pianisten liefert, fetzt ja mal richtig.
Klasse!
Kafka was the album full of beauty.
If it weren't for the flaw at 5:07, it would be a perfect recording. One of my favorite songs by Kennedy.
Great that he's wearing an MG t-shirt at a VW event...

C’est un génie
Je vendrais mon âme au diable pour assister à un de ses concerts
Car
En plus j’approcherai des étoiles ,du soleil, de la création
Étant athée avouer qu’il flirte avec des énergies divines me pose un problème
Mais je pense juste que c’est un génie
Stp Nigel continue
Stp stp stp
Das Stück ist gewöhnungsbedürftigt unt trägt der Monituität weit mehr Rechnung.als der Musikalität!
Hauptsache, ich komme so richtig großkotzig arrogant herüber und verwende dabei ein Wort, das der Duden nicht kennt... und bin zu dämlich, "und" richtig zu schreiben... und kann den Punkt nicht von der Leertaste unterscheiden.
Außerdem wird Musikalität nicht Rechnung getragen. Und und und... mit anderen Worten: Sie sind erbärmlich!
Aside: Wenn Sie "Monituität" googlen, finden Sie zu sich; und nur zu sich. Erbärmlich!
