Welcome, friends, far and near...........if you're a Nigel Kennedy fan, you're a friend !
My name is Elsie and I am a Nigelfreak. I love listening to Nigel, watching Nigel, talking to Nigel, talking about Nigel, reading about Nigel, writing about Nigel, and, above all, sharing Nigel.
What I want to share with you is my personal experience of Nigel and his music. For good, solid info about Nigel's discography, tour dates and more, I recommend that you go to emiclassics.co.uk, an excellent site you'll go back to again and again. I will try to keep you up to date with new CDs that are released and concert listings, but apart from that everything here is subjective.
I want to share my passion with you and I invite you to share your passion with me and with anybody who visits this site. Send anything you feel like sending to me and in no time at all, you'll be able to read it on this site !
Why am I a Nigelfreak ? Click on the PLAY button and just listen ! With headphones, if you have them !
(This is Nocturne:op.9/2: Andante by Chopin from Nigel's Polish Spirit CD. It will inspire you to get out your copy and play it all !)
What's new......
Nigel's new CD, A Very Nice Album, is a 2-CD set of Nigel's original compositions and features the incredibly gifted Nigel Kennedy Jazz Quintet, aided and abetted by Xantoné Blacq and Chris Lung. When you hear "The Hills of Saturn," you'll be totally transported out of this world ! (Diana's comment: "You've done it again, Nigel !" Marie-Hélène's comment: "You should have called it The Best Album of Ever ! EMImusic.de comment: "More than a nice album !"))In Kennedy Experiences, step back in time and read about Alyssa's experience with the Beethoven and Mozart in Madrid. You'll love it ! You can also read Evan's experience of Nigel playing the Elgar at the Proms in London in July. Not to be missed.
During rehearsals for his own Prom, Nigel spoke with the Radio Times about his pick of the other Proms. Read about it in Media Clips.
Elsie's Column for August awaits you !
