Description

Taking playful license with the classics, embracing rock tunes, rock fashions and rock attitudes, Kennedy was once considered a mold-breaking maverick. Nowadays, however, when nearly every young violinist with a photo opportunity has a black leather jacket, mixing Joni Mitchell covers with old Fritz Kreisler and Jascha Heifetz encore favorites would seem the norm. In CLASSIC KENNEDY he is out to charm and entertain rather than to overwhelm or provoke, treating such tunes as 'Danny Boy' or 'Scarborough Fair' with engaging simplicity while proving himself to be a fairly carefree rather than intense gypsy in Sarasate's 'Zigeunerweisen.' The selection is geared for relaxed listening, with some of the arrangements on the romantic film score side, though there is enough fire, in the form of such rousers as the Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5 or Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee," to keep things from getting too cool.
