Xuefei Yang guitar; Ning Feng violin

Folk roots and the joys of virtuosity belong to this delightful programme from Xuefei Yang and Ning Feng. They open with a Paganini rarity, the Sonata concertata, a scintillating showpiece packed with delightful melodies, and voyage into Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata, written originally for a bowed guitar. Xuefei Yang’s spellbinding arrangement of a beloved Chinese folk song prepares the way for the sparky rhythms of Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances.
