Nigel Kennedy - Autumnm Regrets(Comments RSS)
I thought I'd posted about this but I cannot find it. So here it is, possibly again.
Way back in 1990 or 1991, I watched a programme on the telly about music through the ages, or some such title. It was hosted by Nigel Kennedy and it ranged across some of the musical styles that he liked. I even recorded some of it on a VHS tape, that must be buried amongst my stuff somewhere. I confess to not remembering much of the content.
However, I do remember that at the end of the show he played a piece of music with some rock musicians to demonstrate his cross-over interests, and I absolutely loved it.
A few months ago I re-discovered this piece of music on YouTube. Kennedy had recorded a version on a subsequent solo album called Kafka in 1996. The piece is called Autumn Regrets and it is still haunting and superb.

Everbody should root out their copies of KAFKA and listen to all of it. You'll be amazed ! Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Honestly !Elsie
