Nigel Kennedy (violin) Polish Chamber Orchestra, Jacek Kapszyck “All that designer stubble and estuary English can't disguise the high-class violinist he is.” The Guardian “Mlynarski's Concerto is a real find. Nigel Kennedy shows passionate involvement with this unfamiliar music throughout… Jacek Kaspszyk and the Polish Chamber Orchestra accompany energetically and idiomatically.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Nigel Kennedy (violin) Polish Chamber Orchestra, Jacek Kapszyck “All that designer stubble and estuary English can't disguise the high-class violinist he is.” The Guardian “Mlynarski's superbly romantic Violin Concerto is a real find that Nigel Kennedy has done much to champion. In both the recording of the concert, complete with solo encores, and the accompanying documentary there is no doubting Nigel Kennedy's deep involvement with this repertoire, as much to the fore in the performance of the Karlowicz Concerto, nor his rapport with the orchestra and audience.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

The vibrant young Canadian pianist Jean-François Latour has established a reputation as a poetic and imaginative artist with brilliant technique and a strong personal voice. A protégé of Leon Fleisher, he is enjoying a rapidly growing prominence on the international scene including engagements in Paris, Toulouse, Geneva, Hamburg, Brussels, Moscow, Washington, Baltimore, and Chicago. His debut on ATMA is a solo recording consisting of a microcosm of Chopin’s pianistic art: the Préludes opus 28 — music closely identified with the relationship between the composer and Georges Sand; the Polonaise in C sharp minor opus 26, no. 1, the Mazurkas opus 33 and the Nocturnes (opus 9 no. 2 and opus 15 no. 3). | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
