Following Kennedy's performance of Bach's works at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms on the 6th August, Sarah Walker delves into Kennedy's discography, which today includes an arrangement of Gershwin's Piano Prelude No 1 in B flat for violin and orchestra. Plus, Sarah plays Kennedy's recordings of Bach's Violin Concerto in E and Vivaldi's Op 3 Violin Concerto in A.
