Nigel Kennedy

One of the most often-used scores in George Gershwin’s private library was an edition of Bach’s Toccatas for Harpsichord – a clear indication of how the old master’s compositions also left their mark on Gershwin’s music. Star violinist Nigel Kennedy explores this connection in his new programme »Bach Meets Kennedy Meets Gershwin«. In his refreshingly unconventional way, Kennedy demonstrates the parallels between Bach and Gershwin, and between Baroque and jazz.
