  • this orchestra sucks. And Kennedy's playing is sloppy and lacks depth.

  • @minasgekos What would you "recommend" as being superior. Genuinely interested.

  • @apuzyr stay away from Kennedy and Garret. Go for Perlman, Shaham or Kremer, their versions can be found on Youtube.

  • I love the clarity I hear in Perlman's , neither Kenneady nor Garrett could top that !

  • just amazing.. speechless :)

    

  • cette homme est un génie!

  • Comment removed

  • @TheImpinge my cat taught himself to poo in a covered box. that also is better than david garrett.

    nigel kennedy respects classical music, mr garrett apologizes for it, and avoids pieces that would display his lack of technique.

  • my god.... eargasm

  • The man's a fucking genius!

  • YEAH SLAP THE SHIT OUTA THAT HARPSICHORD!!

  • Excelent

  • Hasta ahora el mejor violinista, y la mejor pieza de Vivaldi a mi parecer... basta decir que la pasion con la que interpreta es fantástica, contagia el sentimiento y la pasion que el mismo denota... EXCELENTE...!!!

  • this Nigel is a great violinist...but here he seems a tad scratchy...

  • this is how the man himself heard it

  • Bela execução

  • bloody hell...thats good

    

  • better than david garrett

  • @TheImpinge

    Better than any violin player alive!

  • @TheImpinge David Garrett is young talented violin player and he has been making music for past 20 years. Nigel is very good but when David plays he plays from his heart absolutely beautiful the way he feels the music.

  • Que maestria por dios para tocar tal insttrumento

  • I often listen to classical music while working. I clicked on this recording accidentally a few weeks ago; I did not know at all who the artist is. The music began, I returned to work. At 00:35, I stopped working and asked: my God, who is this? at 1:07 I already knew that he is the violinist I was searching for. Thanks to Nigel to play Winter and the other pieces the exact way I always wanted to hear them to be played and God bless him for making my life a bit more interesting and easier.

  • @vizikem And sorry for my English, this is not my mother tongue.

  • Pffey. I LOVE everything about this guy,. His energy, his courage to make the minor into major in you-know-where, his obvious taste for the true classicals. Actually, my only problem with Nigel is the football team. I'm so disappointed he supports the has-been Liverpool team, whereas ManUtd is the obvious team to cheer for.

    Just joking, I just happen to love artist who have contemtporary interests.

  • ESPECTACULAR, SIEMPRE SIENTO COMO SI LA ESTUVIERA ESCUCHANDO POR PRIMERA VEZ 

  • marry me!!!:-)))))

  • when people saw this...they thought dislike meant dis i like

  • Always puts me in mind of Edward Scissorhands ...

  • @posyanne64 Agree.

  • maraaaaaaaaaaavilhosoooooooooo­oooooo, me emociono sempre que vejo, sinto os acordes penetrar em minha pele chegando até ao coração obrigado a quem postou, por me dar este prazer

  • @bestlists - what do you mean too fast? It is all about energy and genuine spirit. Glenn Gould plays Goldberg Variations in 33m in the 50s and 5plusm in the 80s and Tatiana Nikolayeva in about 90 - always - and it is still fucking awesome all times :) tempo has nothing to do with our predilections, art is all about controlled freedom :D

  • 0_o really? nvm..... I just need to say.. there are much...much better performances. He is playing too fast. and I hear some off notes. Am I the only one hearing this? I LOVE this song.. and I hope people see other youtube vids of this song. Please I urge you.

  • 1.07 sorry....just awesome!

  • 1.12 onwards....sublime.

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love the first part:)

  • How this music don't like 10 people ?

  • good stuff

  • Sorry, where was this concert? Thanks.

  • Somebody knows where is this concert? Thanks.

  • Nigel is truly one of the best violinist in the world. He is quirky but unbeatable. Best version of Winter that I have seen. If you are a violinist then Nigel is who you strive to play like. He is the bar. A Tito thumbs up.

  • the best interpretation!!!...

  • Das ist Musik pur...Gänsehaut !

  • Amo essa musica!

    Vc toca super bem!

    bjs

  • vivaldi really comes to life when Nigel kennedy plays

    beautifull

  • I don't like his interpretation at all but I have to admit he is good. Still he should stick to what Vivaldi wanted, not what he decided it should be.

  • @yowyOw69 wheres the fun in that?

  • @yowyOw69 WTF there would be no emotion if he did so. Music is all about adding your own toutch to what your playing, thats what makes it good, go listen to other king of music than classic and y'oull see what I mean.

  • Mistrz Skrzypiec!! i fajny czlowiek!!! dzisiaj chyba juz tak nie gra:(

  • 9 leute ohne jeglichen musik geschmack <.<

  • I have the best Classical Album in the World Ever (released 1995 or thereabouts) and Nigel plays Winter in it and he does it SUBLIMELY! It is slower, resonates the starkness of winter beautifully. Here it's too fast.

  • I did not like ... he's a snob ... hissed the opening chords, for lack of contact, reducing the progress in the next 30 seconds, in addition to the tune ... what he did is not classical music. and even has comment saying it was the best execution? aff

  • Não gostei... o cara é muito mala... chiou nos primeiros acordes, por falta de contato, reduziu o andamento nos próximos 30 segundos, além das desafinadas... o que ele fêz não é música clássica. e ainda tem comentário dizendo que foi a melhor execução? aff

  • @jojonation1 Po, falar que o cara é péssimo é exagero, vae.

  • Kennedy ROCKS on the violin. I bet this classic music is being beamed out into outer space and beyond into the next universe.

    Pure classic!

  • Why the hell they have to play that fast? They just screw it. They prove they can play too fast but that's all.

  • @MrFreeori i like it a bit more up tempo, when you're slowing i down you're ruiining the music..

  • Rivoltante.

  • the most expressive interpretation of winter.

  • I prefer to listen from 1:00 :)

  • SKIP TO 1:10 FOR THE AMAIZING PART

  • Only Europeans could create such a masterpiece as this.

    Bravo.

  • i'm on fire when i see him play, yes see, he has so much passion

  • haha, ich hab grade Play gedrückt da hat mein Handy geklingelt un ich dachte wtf SPONGEBOB??

  • huch, er ist der schnellste von allen

    genial

  • brill!

    

  • Best version of winter EVER!!! fantastic piece of music played by a fantastic violinist, double win!!

  • Kennedy is such a great virtuoso. This is my favorite version of Vivaldi's winter I. I like Perlman's version too but it's too slow and sweet whereas this one has a faster tempo and such an aggressive bravura just like a winter storm!

  • fuck the five persons

  • Shame the sound quality on this video is shit!

  • amazing violinist

  • The video editing on this SUCKS!

  • Puuuuuurrrreee Tuuuuunnnnneeeee

  • @FreshmanCollect I like that you refered to it as a tune :)

  • i dont like this, i ADORE this music!!!!!!!! <3

  • Es la interpretación que más me gusta de las que vi. Impresionante!

  • loveee it!!!

  • Lovely video, gorgeous performance, but I DONT WANT TO SEE HIS BACK EVEN ONE MORE GD TIME. Sheesh, producers. wtf?

  • Awesome!

  • I know I have said it before but this is my favorite video of all time. Nigel Kennedy's Winter speaks to my soul.

  • I like more this performance than that of Joshua Bell...

  • Does need from environment create genius to ask the question, as the torries have run scared for decades. Nige shows no, it more constricts it, you olde tory twats.

  • absolute crap !!! Up and Down !!!

  • 2 people dont like nigel kenedys hair cut

  • love it...:D

  • *speechless*

  • @iainwalmsley - i'm insanely jealous! i bet he was amazing!

  • saw him perform this yesterday, absolute master (:

  • @iainwalmsley At The Royal Albert Hall no doubt, I was there too. Amazing.

  • @italymad

    no i saw him on monday night, it's just that i posted it at about 3am which made it wednesday when i posted it.

    i saw him at symphony hall, birmingham.

    was amazing, although he turned up about 40 minutes late he stayed to play an extra half an hour beyond what he was supposed to perform, so it more than made up for it = D

  • @iainwalmsley lol, u still lose 10 minutes, how does that make it up for it?

  • @Giao1 no, as in he performed all of his pieces (on the programme so as to speak), so went on for the full time anyway, and then performed about 3-4 extra pieces on top of that, they were classy ones liked fiddler on the roof and a few of his own pieces

  • LOVE IT!!!!!

  • To comment on s0012823, Nigel may strike a wrong note now and then, but his passion, crescendos and decrescendos are excellent! Perfection does not always connote mastery!

  • I don't like this performance, I like the performance of Karajan and Mutter or Maki Itoi better. He strikes a lot of wrong notes and it sounds like a chainsaw.

  • @s0012823 , yes ! sounds like a chainsaw :-)).. Maki is the best on youtube !

  • Everyone makes their own version. But it doesn't sound like a chainsaw lol. And he is not striking wrong notes, what he does is that he also takes another note from the chord with the normal note.

  • @s0012823 X2

  • OMG! This is absolutely fabulous... I had to browse through at least 15 videos of this piece; before I hit the gem...

    Every note spells PASSION ....

  • Responding to louait1976: congratulations on your wedding! In my humble opinion it would be one magnificent gift from you and your husband to be to treat your guests to this melodious delicacy. Don't be surprised if it moves many of your guests to tears of joy.

    latentcat

  • need advice here. would this be unappropiate as music for my guests to listen to while they are waiting for me to arrive at my wedding part 1 and 2 together. its a winter wedding.comments please......thanks

  • freakin incredible!!!! the way he does the stacato!!!! what an attack----

  • Это моя самая любимая часть из Времен года Вивальди, но прослушиваю я ее только в исполнении Найджела Кеннеди. Дай Бог ему здоровья.

  • I like this dude he's got passion!

  • Forever Breathtaking. Thank you Antonio and Nigel
