"These are the visions of an exceptional artist". Thus Gramophone - which made it an Editor's Choice - greeted this release of Bach Violin Concertos from one of the greatest and most interesting musical characters around. With such a performer the disc brims over with unforgettable music-making: try the lyrical Adagio of the Concerto for Oboe and Violin, a perfectly cut jewel of a movement, with a glorious melody enhanced beautifully by the distinctive timbre of the oboe. And then there is the Double Violin Concerto, a frequent choice of many a putative castaway on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

"Kennedy makes a wonderful sound and seems genuinely thrilled by the challenge of getting his fingers around the notes. There's a sureness about his approach, a swaggering certitude in tone, articulation, phrasing that is hard to resist, and nothing about his playing is bland."
BBC Music Magazine
"Boil off the bracing sonorities from the best period performances, and a tangy residue of imagination and infectious good spirits remains. In that sense, if not strictly in the timbral one, Kennedy's recording of Bach with the Berlin Philharmonic almost qualifies as a period performance...Recommended."
Fanfare
"Kennedy's Bach is a dancing cleric with a smile on his face, spirited to the point of aggression in the last movement of the A minor Concerto but deeply prayerful in the E major's Adagio. He might be a credible geezer in the pub, but when it comes to Bach, Kennedy's spirit soars with the best of them."
