By Richard
Format:Audio CD
After a series of albums playing the music of long gone composers Nigel kennedy figured he shoudl become one himself and this is the result.
It could have been a disaster but its actually quite excellent.
Closer to rock than anything that went before the standout for me is I Believe In God.
Sales however told a different story and he was back to recording the works of others before long but he also announced he now wished to be known as Kennedy

Kennedy surprise 3 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
Ordered a classical C.D. of Nigel Kennedy, saw this and bought it on a whim really, did'nt know quite what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised, it was certainly different to what I was used to, it was worth buying for tracks 3 and 4 alone, I enjoyed listening to this C.D. a lot.

If Hendrix played fiddle 10 Feb 2001
By Syd Baumel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This major genre hop by British classical violinist Nigel Kennedy appears to have trouble finding its audience. It seems that most of Kennedy's concert hall fans are not amused by his walk on the wild side, while most lovers of progressive fusion - which is what this marvelous album is - probably don't even know the record exists.

The compositions may not be Stravinsky or Elgar; but then even the best progressive music rarely is. What really makes this album an "event" is the innovative, jaw-dropping musicianship. Kennedy transforms his concert violin into an "axe"; he does for it what his hero Jimi Hendrix did for the electric guitar. He combines the virtuosity that has made him famous in the concert hall with a superlative command of electronic timbral shapeshifting and applies it to a highly varied set of compositions that mix rock with jazz with classical with East with West with . . . Importantly, Kennedy cooks. He rocks. He bites. He explodes. He cuts loose without a score as well as any rock or jazz musician, but with his own uniquely brilliant voice.

Brilliant music 14 Feb 2008
By Frances Klopotic - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This album by Nigel Kennedy is brilliant. Full of diversity and vast in scope. A controversial figure he may be, but dull and boring he is not. Unclassifiable, "Kafka" has something for every type of music lover. I will be listening to this one for a long time to come.

I can listen to Nigel Kennedy anytime. He makes the violin sing. This CD shows the versatility of this instrument and the talent of Nigel Kennedy.
