Nigel Kennedy, Symphony Hall, Birmingham - in photos
Virtuoso violinist Nigel Kennedy wowed crowds at Birmingham's Symphony Hall last night.
The 61-year-old musician performed pieces by Bach, Gershwin, as well as his own self-penned pieces including The Magician of Lublin.
The piece is inspired by the book of the same title by Isaac B. Singer, who so skilfully evoked life in old Poland.
In addition, Kennedy performed Fugue from Sonata No. 1 by J.S.Bach, and a selection of pieces from the Songbook of George Gershwin including Summertime, How Long Has This Been Going On, Rhapsody In Claret and Blue and Lady Be Good.
Nigel Kennedy first came to mainstream prominence with his interpretation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which is now one of the best-selling classical recordings of all time, remaining at the top of the UK Classical Albums Chart for over a year.
