Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The thing with the artist formerly known as Nigel is that his audience never knows what he might do next, and that, we must assume, is the way Kennedy likes it. This release of duos for violin and cello presents music that conventionally wouldn't be found on a single disc, the concise notes stating that the Bach and Handel pieces represent the "very antithesis" of the "linear approach" of the Kodály and Ravel. This contrast-and-compare approach offers effective insight into possibly unfamiliar music, a diversity closer to a concert programme than a regular CD.

Ravel's Sonata for violin and cello is far removed from the composer's lush orchestral sound, a stark anticipation of Bartók's Third Piano Concerto. Kodály's Duo provides warmth, strongly infused with the folk tradition of the composer's native Hungary. Cellist Lynn Harrell clearly has an affinity for such music (he's simultaneously released a recording of Miklós Rózsa's Cello Concerto). The Baroque-derived works are much shorter, the Bach being a new transcription of the Two-Part Invention No.6, the Handel Passacaglia a hybrid adapted by the Norwegian conductor Johan Halvorsen from the Harpsichord Suite No.7. With superb sound and intensely focused playing, this imaginative programme offers highly committed music-making. --Gary S Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing dilletante or "posey" about this, 19 May 2004
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a brilliant record of cello and violin duos. Messrs Kennedy and Harrell play together as a real partnership, seemingly as skilled at telepathy as they are at playing their instruments. Mr Kennedy gets far more than his share of bad press, ranging from the petty to the downright derogatory. Since most of this seems to concern his character and "look", who cares? It's a cd: it's not as if he's playing a concert in your living room and "annoying" you personally. Give him a break: he plays beautifully, and his repertoire is inspired. The four pieces here are full of zest and energy, and fill the listener with the same.
