Product Description
CD Description
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of virtuouso violinist Nigel Kennedy’s landmark recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, this is a very special 20th Anniversary Luxury Edition. The set includes the original recording, award winning film, images not previously issued, memorabilia and a specially written account of the unfolding event. Nigel Kennedy’s recording was released 25th September 1989 on vinyl, cassette and CD and went on to become the biggest selling classical album in the illustrious history of EMI. Originally recorded in November 1986 in the Church of St John-at-Hackney, London, it was a recording that would achieve unprecedented public and media attention and change the course of music history. Vivaldi’s work, 12 movements in short three-minute bursts, was tailor-made for commercial radio. It was the first time that commercial pop marketing techniques had been used in the classical world and the first time that Nigel was unleashed on the media.

This version of the Four Seasons makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. The DVD is great too and gives a great insight into the music. Absolutely brilliant, a must buy.

This is an excellent recording of Nigel Kennedy at his best.
In some sections his playing seems impossible to be true.

Totally wrong tempo
I bought this as a replacement for a Four Seasons CD that I had lost whilst moving house. The tempo in this version is far too fast in my view, which spoils what is ordinarily very... Read more
