I play amateur classical guitar (very poorly), so I understand exactly how difficult it is to get it right. I follow all of the great classical guitarists from Segovia to Williams, who play many of the pieces she has chosen - the masters have done it all before, of course. But these recordings from Xue Fei Yang are beautiful almost beyond description - her technique is exquisitely precise, yet fluid and expressive! I was literally reduced to tears (of pleasure) by hearing pieces, like Tarrega's 'Recuerdos de la Alhambra', that I have heard a hundred times before from dozens of guitarists, played in a way that goes beyond anything I believed possible. It was a shock to hear it! Extraordinary!

I heard of this CD from a HiFi magazine where the reviewer used it for assessing some kit. He raved about its technical quality as well as its musical merit. I bought it on spec and it is everything he said. The recording is absolutely stunning, you can hear every nuance of her playing. And the choice of music varies from pop through folk to classic and traditional Spanish. If you enjoy simple, pure guitar, brilliantly executed then this is for you.

This collection is very beautiful. I was most struck by the pieces that were unfamiliar to me. The more familiar ones are also given fresh new life by Xuefei's interpreataions (even the overkilled Cavatina). The artistry that is utilised here is astonishing and the sound of the guitar is as beautiful as anything I've heard for a long time. It takes a leap of faith to believe that it is a solo instrument you're listening to.

relaxing, interesting music
I'm someone who likes to dabble in classical music mostly to relax, and bought this based on the other 5 star reviews by informed fans of the genre, which I am not. Read more
