Nigel Kennedy - Classic Kennedy 1999 [EAC - FLAC] (oan) torrent

Nigel Kennedy was born in Brighton, England, and comes from a musical lineage.
His grandfather was Lauri Kennedy, a British-born musician and principal cellist
with the BBC Symphony Orchestra who played with Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz,
Arthur Rubinstein and others. His grandmother was Dorothy Kennedy, a pianist,
who accompanied John McCormack and taught Enrico Caruso's children. Lauri
and Dorothy settled in Australia where their son, the cellist John Kennedy, was
born. He was principal cellist with Sir Thomas Beecham's Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra. John had a relationship with an English piano teacher, Scylla Stoner.
John left Scylla (they were unmarried) to return to Australia. He did not know she
was pregnant by him at the time, and for many years he was unaware of the
existence of his son, Nigel Kennedy, whom he met for the first time when Nigel was
11. Nigel Kennedy has about 30 close relatives in Australia, whom he visits
whenever he tours Australia.

A boy prodigy, as a 10-year-old Kennedy would pick out Fats Waller tunes on the
piano after hearing his stepfather's jazz records. A pupil at the Yehudi Menuhin
School under Yehudi Menuhin himself, Kennedy later studied at the Juilliard School
in New York under Dorothy DeLay
