Unclassified: Nigel Kennedy in Chapters and Verse

Nigel Kennedy is one of the world's foremost violinists. His achievements have been met with great acclaim, not least his ability, both as performer and composer, to move across and blend an extraordinary range of musical genres and styles, resisting any notion of classification. Yet he remains a controversial figure, having rocked the classical music establishment with his radical innovations and uncompromising views.

Paul Munden has followed Nigel Kennedy's musical journey for many years, and here sets down his reflections on everything he has gained from that experience. From a poet's perspective, he writes about Kennedy's extraordinary output, indeed the poetry of his playing. A sequence of chapters exploring various themes is interspersed with original poems, the idea deriving from Kennedy's own improvised transitoires.
