Nigel Kennedy - Air (Das Pendel) Jazz

Nigel Kennedy at BBC Proms (Royal Albert Hall} Das Pendel starts with the Air (on a G string) from Bach’s D minor orchestral Suite played on violin with pizzicato double bass and was quite true to Bach’s original and acted as an introduction to a swung rendition of the first movement of the D minor Concerto for Two Violins, a rendition that would surely have been smiled upon by Bach the extemporiser.
