Striking a Chord

With a new album to be released very soon, here is a throwback to some of Xuefei Yang’s most memorable performances on record. A true prodigy of classical guitar, Yang received praise at a very young age by such figures as John Williams and Joaquín Rodrigo. Her varied discography contains absolute classics of the repertoire but also original arrangements of classical works and transcriptions of popular songs. From Bach to the Beatles via Spanish masterpieces and Filipin pop music, this collection displays Yang’s amazing skills and sensitivity.
