Nicola Benedetti Silver Violin Chords
For Italia, her CD of baroque concertos, the violinist Nicola Benedetti was annoyingly photographed stepping towards a Vespa scooter hot from the swinging Sixties. Now we find the former BBC Young Musician of Year (in 2004, when she was 16) in film star mode, turning a car’s wheel while wearing enormous dark glasses, or standing glamorously blonde, spotlit in the dark. This time Benedetti’s styling makes more sense, for her CD is called The Silver Violin and all the music carries associations with the silver screen.She’s assembled the programme with the aim of enticing listeners reluctant to embark on classical music without visuals and a narrative attached. Considering her status as “the nation’s favourite violinist” (her record company’s phrase), listeners won’t be in short.
