Format:Audio CD
Yes, The Four Seasons recording over two decades ago was astounding - but Nigel has evolved over the years - jazz being always on his agenda when all those years ago he played with Stéphane Grappelli whilst still under the tutelege of Yehudi Menuhin. Nigel is truly inspirational on the violin, you only had to listen to him playing solo Bach at the Proms this year to know that - how many violinists are there who could stand on a stage unaccompanied and play solo Bach to a sell-out Proms audience? Very few, if any!!!! I think this new album entitled the Four Elements is a true work of art - Air, Earth, Water, Fire, it's all in the music if you listen with an open mind - so for me the Four Elements is a sensational album and ALL THE ELEMENTS of genius are there with Nigel Kennedy's super brain power but you do have to like an element of jazz obviously to be able to appreciate the genius in it!

Parts of this album are truly excellent. some bits should have lost in the edit if he'd listen to a producer, but that's often the beauty of it - he doesn't, and he doesn't give a damn, and that's actually what make the good bits better... See where I'm going with this...Be patient and this album rewards the effort.

Nigel Kennedy is doing this on his current world tour, along with Four Seasons. This is Kennedy's 21st Century equivalent to the Four Seasons, and as you might expect Nigel goes a bit over the top! Well worth a listen.

Prodigious talent - colossal waste.
I endured the entire melange - what utter rubbish.
A salutary lesson in how self-indulgence can annihilate talent.
But... how this man can play other composer's music... Read more

No flow , no melody very disappointing
Well I know Nigel likes a bit of rock so I thought this might be well worth taking a risk with. How disappointed I was. Read more

Oh, dear
After a sublime rendition of the 'Four Seasons', which will forever stand the test of time, Kennedy becomes extremely self-indulgent with the 'Four Elements'............. Read more
