Lee Madeley

<b>Not the CD of the week:</b>

The target audience for Nigel Kennedy’s latest offering would no doubt be those looking for a recording of the <i>Four Seasons</i>.

So what has Kennedy added to make Vivaldi (EMI), his second recording of the piece, appealing? Nothing, writes Lee Madeley.

<b>CD OF THE WEEK</b>: Listening to Vogt’s Mozart Piano <i>Sonatas and Fantasias</i>, it certainly feels as if one has stayed away from Mozart for too long, writes Lee Madeley.

A reasonable collection of lollipops on six discs, each with its own theme, comprising a selection of edited highlights. And edited they are. Lee Madeley lends an ear to the <i>Best Classics 100</i> compilation.
