PEOPLE, Page 83Roll Over Beethoven
By MICHAEL QUINN
That punked-out hair and dress. Those huge outdoor
concerts. The videos. You'd be forgiven if you thought NIGEL
KENNEDY was a rock star. In fact, however, he's a virtuoso
violinist whose offbeat performance persona has generated
audiences of pop proportions. His recording of Vivaldi's The
Four Seasons broke into the British Top 20 and sold more than
1 million copies. Now "the Nige" is touring the U.S. Upcoming
plans: "I'm going to form a group of musicians around me who can
play all kinds of music with equal enthusiasm -- Led Zeppelin,
Hendrix, Beethoven and other great composers."
