David Kennedy

Richard Belzer et David Wayne sont de retour pour remettre les pendules à l’heure après Dead Wrong; cette fois, ils vont découvrir la vérité sur les nombreux décès de témoins liés à l’assassinat de JFK. Pendant des décennies, les experts du gouvernement ont rejeté ces morts « fortuites », les considérant même comme des « mythes » comme des « légendes urbaines ».

Nigel Kennedy’s repackaged 1986 recording of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto is an adventure – free, rhapsodic, emphasising the constant flow of song which is the work’s main asset. Perhaps he’s a little over-keen to emphasise what melancholy there is here, nearly bringing the outer movements to a halt with the bitter-sweet dreams of second subjects, but the Canzonetta is a miracle of introspection. All this passes Gil Shaham by. While the young Israeli clearly has a fabulous palette, conjuring a bright, beautiful sheen at the top of the instrument (though unduly spotlit by DG), he rarely uses it discriminatingly enough, and the sense of flexible movement so vital for the Tchaikovsky is missing.
