Nigel Kennedy: Classical and Jazz

Overview

Violinist Nigel Kennedy makes his first appearance at the annual event in 21 years, where he plays Elgar's Violin Concerto - the work that first put him on the musical map in 1984 - as well as some of his own compositions, with some of Poland's finest jazz musicians. He also talks about his life and career as an unpredictable virtuoso, and the reasons for his move to Poland, where he now lives and works. Paul Daniel conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra. Presented by conductor Charles Hazlewood and Suzy Klein.
