5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible technique and emotional range,
By
This review is from: Romance de Amor (Audio CD)
Following "Si Ji" is no small task. That CD was a masterpiece of modern guitar; so different from anything else out there that it shines in a totally different light.That being said, "Romance de Amor" showcases some of the great gems of this instrument's repertoire by one of the world's premier guitarists. Yang Xue Fei is a masterful technician, but make no mistake, emotionally she gives her all in every note. After listening to 3 of her CD's (the two already mentioned, and "Classical Guitar") I've been impressed with her passion for music. I've heard her say that she looks at the guitar as a lover. Her playing shows this by being at turns powerful, seductive, intimate, tender and even humorous. She can play incredibly fast and still retain her phrasing and subtlety. "Asturias" has rarely been so explosive "Requerdos de la Alhambra" breaths with a life of its own thanks to her pacing "El Colibri" is a great example of her speed and accuracy If you are at all a fan of classical guitar, you've heard these pieces from other artists. Part of the fun of this genre is hearing how individual artists interpret the same piece. I love the sensitivity of Ana Vidovic, the smokiness of Lily Afshar, the intelligence of the Assad brothers and the sheer artistry of John Williams, and this is just to name a few. One might think that Segovia laid down the law for pieces like Asturias (judging from Christopher Parkening's description of his studies with this great master, Segovia certainly thought so), but Yang Xue Fei is such a wonderful talent, she is a law unto herself. She displays a vitality that makes each piece uniquely hers. To take ownership of these songs with such authority across the board makes this CD a worthy addition to any collection.

She is an excellent classical guitarist, no doubt about it. Her technique is flawless and with precision. This CD is excellent, every song on it is just superb.

A virtuoso poorly recorded,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Romance De Amor (International Version) (MP3 Download)
Her Technique is top-notch and the song selection is very good. However, the downloadable mp3s are poorly recorded or compressed. The bass distorts in a number of the songs. Perhaps the mp3 conversion was poor, but recording classical guitar is tough and great care should be taken to ensure that bass notes are not saturating the mix.
