Divine Bach, incredibly sensitive Violinist Nigel Kennedy and superb Orchestra. Human beings like them give the world hope for a beautiful, peaceful and enlightened World for future generations to come
Nigel kennedy is a world class violinist with an equally characteristic personality to accompany his playing! Two set certainly is very beneficial for exposing a very large audience to classical music
This remains to be my favourite. The tempo and dynamics here make this piece so exciting, as if it was always meant to be played like this. So much that other versions become almost boring.
I just happened to buy his CD, The Kennedy Experience, many years ago and it just blew me away. He pushes the violin to its absolute limits, pure joy listening to him.
If one heard this for the very first time...and never saw the score..or listened to some hair-faced musicologist rant about how it is "supposed" to be played....one would think this is music from heaven. And it is, what it is. Take it for that. Bravo N. Kennedy.
The first time I heard 1041 was this exact performance. It could be because it is my first, but no other version I have heard comes close to the natural flow this has. I love it!
Hi Mary; hope you are well!. Your comment is excellent!. Not only is this a magnificent interpretation but this as other Bach concertos were used in the 70’s (and I am sure before then as well) in the field ofMusic Therapy. There is a principle that has worked for many years in order for a person to reduce anxiety symptoms and that is to first listen to first and third movements of some concertos and slowly get to the second movement. It works as a cathartic tool. Bach through perfection and beauty has been priceless!!….and Nigel’s work a dream. Imagine having had you tube then…- Take care.
#THEBEST I saw him in Chicago and the crowd went wild. It was like being at a sports event at times. He's incredible across the board. xoxo #nigelkennedy
Kennedy may be a bit of an eccentric ham before and after a performance, but when he plays he is totally wrapped up in the music and devoted to bringing out its beauty.
Soy de España y llevo desde los seis años, oyendo como tocas desde que empecé a tocar con mi papá que era un gran violinista y los dos te admiramos el ahora donde este te seguirá escuchando y seguirá tocando,gracias nigel Kennedy por tu música y por cada nota que nos brindas.
Kennedy eres un maestro!!!! Tus interpretaciones son únicas y para mi eres un regalo del cielo!!!. Tu música me llena el alma y a mi edad, como persona mayor de edad, me alivia la vida!!! gracias por existir!!!!!! Que Dios te bendiga!!!!
You are not the only listener who equates Bach's music to proof that God exists. But, I think that you have it 100 % wrong. Bach wrote the music using his faith as motivation.
Cant say I'm a fan but you can see that this guy is playing music from the kindness of his heart for people to enjoy. It is a fresh approach to the piece and personally I find it enriching
Nigel Kennedy a porté au plus haut point l'art du violon dans la grande musique, sachant mêler tous les genres contemporains en nous subjugeant par sa haute virtuosité et surtout la simplicité joyeuse d'un musicien accessible, un dépoussiérage sans abîmer la moindre note.
nothing to add to diana walkers comments....this performance adds soul to this piece which often sounds mechanical in even competent hands. kennedy is beyond competent. love it!
Slow movement is exquisitely sweet, the energy of the first and third different, but delightful. Not what Bach would have done probably, but so what? Isn't it wonderful, all the greats you can hear on You Tube playing the great composers? Let's celebrate the creativity and mastery of each. Unless you are Midori or Josh Bell or the like, don't be a critic, just enjoy!
If it wasn't for Nigel Kennedy and his cd of The Four Seasons, i probably wouldn't be interested in classical music. Now it's pretty much all I listen to. Besides Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac
I listen to this beautiful interpretation every day and it sounds better each time!. Bach, Menuhin and DeLay are applauding!!; thank you!, great quality video!
Nigel verbeugt sich vor der Kunst. Er ist bescheiden und steht zu seinen Eigenheiten, ohne wenn und aber. Und wer ihn sich nicht vor ihm angezogen fühlt, den ignoriert er. Also, wollen wir uns vor ihm verbeugen und ihm danken, was er zu leisten vermag !
I'm just starting the 3rd movement and oh my god, this is sooo awesome! I won't be. It'll take me 4 years, when I'm 16, to just be able to play the 3rd mvt. half as awesome!!!!!!
Franz Brosch ..but bach isn't playing it!!...kennedy is!... & it's 2015!!.....thank "whatever" for fiddlers who give their own interpretations!....i might just add tho, that for me, the third movement is miles too fast....it worked in his 4 seasons, but doesn't quite cut it here..
Franz Brosch ..+Franz Brosch ...for sure...his 4 seasons is the best!!...but where i prefer many other fiddlers is in the 2nd movement of winter...one of my favourite movements of any music ever written for violin...try & listen to Isakadze & maria samuelson playing it.!!.as well as many others that i have recordings of...have a good day & a good listen to the kennedy mam!!
What a great musician and phantastic interpretation. Phantastic! Thanks Nigel! Normally super high tempi at Bach is not always the best idea... But Kennedy masters to make something very authentic from it. Played extremely virtuously but very clean and honest at the same time. Great listening to this non-orthodox interpretation.
Гениальная музыка и не менее гениальное виртуозное её исполнение очищают душу и ,обогащая необыкновенной любовью,поднимают на невиданную высоту, приближая к Богу.
Anyone else listen to this on a legit sound system with subwoofer? His stomping in movement 3 (Allegro assai) sounds like a random bass drum tapping out the beat along with the orchestra.
Absolutely spectacular. Sure, the third movement is "too fast," or at least very, very fast. But who's to say whether Bach, possibly the most inventive musician who ever lived, would have disapproved of an unorthodox, rocking version of his music three hundred years after it was written? Nothing Bach did was by the rule book... he *wrote* the rule book, and Nigel Kennedy can write a different rule book.
What a flavour in the 3rd movement. Imagine if this is what the kids had heard when it was first played. Minds would have been blown, heads would have been banging and the Beatles might have been born a century earlier. And then it would have been banned for inciting coffee drinking.
Violinist Kennedy and the orchestra are divine. They lift my spirit. Thank you!
This is by far the best interpretation I have ever heard.
Divine Bach, incredibly sensitive Violinist Nigel Kennedy and superb Orchestra. Human beings like them give the world hope for a beautiful, peaceful and enlightened World for future generations to come
I LOVE Nigels’s fresh approach, attitude and interpretation to classical music. Truly inspiring
I discovered Nigel Kennedy in England over 25 years ago and still no one but on one plays the violin with such passion as he!
What a phenomenal performer and human being ,,,,unique
So my classical music education continues to broaden through TwoSet Violin. This was such wondrous listening pleasure...
Nigel kennedy is a world class violinist with an equally characteristic personality to accompany his playing! Two set certainly is very beneficial for exposing a very large audience to classical music
@@violaisreallycool And getting bigger all the time - currently 3.6M. Brett's playing Mendelssohn at 4M.
Its a joy to see Nigel on stage
Always laughing 🤣 and joyful too see him play on his violin 🎻
Un grande pittore può creare un'opera d'arte
Un musicista rischia tutto ogni volta che si esibisce in pubblico.
Bravo Nigel

I am so exited that I could such a beautiful melody at this special Easter season in Cornna.
A most beautiful performance by all.
Kennedy, as ever, is completely his own man -- and what a great orchestra!
...completely...
Saw him play just a few nights ago in Basingstoke, what a showman. Absolutely brilliant.
Love it. There are things between heaven and Earth.
If one heard this for the very first time...and never saw the score..or listened to some hair-faced musicologist rant about how it is "supposed" to be played....one would think this is music from heaven. And it is, what it is. Take it for that. Bravo N. Kennedy.

Yes
Fabulous!! So uplifting and inspiring. Just beautiful. I wish this could be played in every hospital room in the world.
Dude relax
Super j adore bach

To my knowledge Nigel Kennedy is the best violist in the world
I mean the best of all
I love this guy...not this formal fuss...he is who he is. It's Nigel Kennedy. He is great.
Magnificent, and very much appreciated. Many thanks for sharing.
#THEBEST I saw him in Chicago and the crowd went wild. It was like being at a sports event at times. He's incredible across the board. xoxo #nigelkennedy

I love the music
Another mad genius great talent

Tu música me llena el alma y a mi edad, como persona mayor de edad, me alivia la vida!!! gracias
por existir!!!!!! Que Dios te bendiga!!!!
Hermosa conjunción estético -musical para transmitir una obra tan grandiosa. Gracias!
Simply divine
BACH is for me a sign of God and i love this guy named Nigel Kennedy. Gratefully.
You are not the only listener who equates Bach's music to proof that God exists. But, I think that you have it 100 % wrong. Bach wrote the music using his faith as motivation.
To Bach, God exists. To a humanist, the music is what it is.
Wonderful!
So brilliant the way that God expresses perfection in simple notes :) Spontaneous Enlightenment
Ne vous inquiète pas. Si vous aimez la musique c'est suffisant. Moi, j'adore la musique de J. S. Bach et ce musicien exceptionel.
Cant say I'm a fan but you can see that this guy is playing music from the kindness of his heart for people to enjoy. It is a fresh approach to the piece and personally I find it enriching
Wonderful!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Bach forever!!!
My favorit
14 ans que je l ecoute. C'est toujours divin❤❤y❤❤❤
This is what an excellent interpretation is about: great approach, beautiful sound and superb communication!!
Thank you!
I love this vid so much. Never tired of listening to him. So lucky I got to meet him.
Nigel Kennedy a porté au plus haut point l'art du violon dans la grande musique, sachant mêler tous les genres contemporains en nous subjugeant par sa haute virtuosité et surtout la simplicité joyeuse d'un musicien accessible, un dépoussiérage sans abîmer la moindre note.
Je ne pourrais pas dire mieux c'est vraiment un violoniste exceptionnel drôle quel plaisir de l'écouter
I love him. And I love Bach.
nothing to add to diana walkers comments....this performance adds soul to this piece which often sounds mechanical in even competent hands. kennedy is beyond competent. love it!
Wow! A real rocker. Bach loves him.
Top man, Nigel.
Just " genious "...Great tribute to Bach...Love it !

Unless you are Midori or Josh Bell or the like, don't be a critic, just enjoy!
I think I would prefer his interpretation to Bach's own one.
Diana walker neve What if it’s the composer?
Les fils de Jean Sébastien Bach ont dit de leur père qu'il aimait jouer avec des tempi assez rapides
even the first two measures makes chicken skin. Bach is grest and with Kennedy and that Orchestra his music is in best hands. thanx for posting.
This is how Classical Music should be presented and approached. Cool but all there!
Paul Tergeist it's baroque
meravigioso pieno di sentimenti, chi parla male è solo per invidia, ma chi dice che bach dev'essere suonato con noia e lentezza?
marvelous, fantastic violinist!!!tks for posting!
Beautiful!
So beautiful.I am playing this repitoire
If it wasn't for Nigel Kennedy and his cd of The Four Seasons, i probably wouldn't be interested in classical music. Now it's pretty much all I listen to. Besides Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac
I listen to this beautiful interpretation every day and it sounds better each time!. Bach, Menuhin and DeLay are applauding!!; thank you!, great quality video!
Very good! Thanks Master Kennedy...;-) Your are a great musicien...Bach must be glad to listen his music plays by you...:-)
GREAT ! I REALLY LIKE IT !
This is Kennedy's music!! Excellent
Stunning rendition!, wonderful concept, beautiful sound and excellent video!. Thank you!
Nigel verbeugt sich vor der Kunst. Er ist bescheiden und steht zu seinen Eigenheiten, ohne wenn und aber. Und wer ihn sich nicht vor ihm angezogen fühlt, den ignoriert er. Also, wollen wir uns vor ihm verbeugen und ihm danken, was er zu leisten vermag !
From 7:00 to 7:15/20, absolute perfection, most moving notes played ever
Fantastic!
Now, that s what we call Bach
brilliant
I'm just starting the 3rd movement and oh my god, this is sooo awesome! I won't be. It'll take me 4 years, when I'm 16, to just be able to play the 3rd mvt. half as awesome!!!!!!
um... sooo? it's amazing!
ok, ok, but it's still amazing!
Franz Brosch ..but bach isn't playing it!!...kennedy is!... & it's 2015!!.....thank "whatever" for fiddlers who give their own interpretations!....i might just add tho, that for me, the third movement is miles too fast....it worked in his 4 seasons, but doesn't quite cut it here..

Love those fast tempos!
This is really amazing! I can´t believe! Nigel you are a exelent violinist!
AMAZING GREAT ♫♥♫♥♫♥♫
que genio juan sebastian bach y lo que ejecutan esta obra
Aww, he's so lovely. :D I love how he conducts very empathetic to the other players.
Unless you can play to Nigel’s standard DONT moan about how he chooses to play . He LOVES the music and puts his great and soul into every piece.👍
Amazing great
Il est fantastique !!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST !!
This is absolutely sublime.
he doesn't play, he lives his violin
totalmente hermoso, gracias
Un grande assoluto!
@fotopic001 and the orchestra is incredible!
❤
Exceptionnel ! Je suis un inconditionnel
this is beauty full perfekta very beautyful
Très beau
In fact, conducting while playing is something that some violinist do, as Joshua Bell and Kyung-Wha Chung.
Anyone else listen to this on a legit sound system with subwoofer? His stomping in movement 3 (Allegro assai) sounds like a random bass drum tapping out the beat along with the orchestra.
He is really good!
What is the second movement called? I'm new to classical music and love this tune
Absolutely spectacular. Sure, the third movement is "too fast," or at least very, very fast. But who's to say whether Bach, possibly the most inventive musician who ever lived, would have disapproved of an unorthodox, rocking version of his music three hundred years after it was written? Nothing Bach did was by the rule book... he *wrote* the rule book, and Nigel Kennedy can write a different rule book.
The third movement is too fast ,or at least very,very fast " ... ??? Are you shore ?
Just the right tempo for The Allegro.
rocked the 1. Move !!
Nivelles est divin,sublime
What a flavour in the 3rd movement. Imagine if this is what the kids had heard when it was first played. Minds would have been blown, heads would have been banging and the Beatles might have been born a century earlier. And then it would have been banned for inciting coffee drinking.
