      a review on one of my vinyls said about sr tarrega,,,,,, he used to oractise scales and exercises with a stop watch perched against a matchbox w a stogie half smoked on top,,,,,he and a GF used to concertise together, on one occasion during a difficult passage,the girl took a shortcut,,winking at tarrega in her slyness, tarrega broke off the romance,, in music and love he was a persnickety fellow, ( which record it was,,cannot recall, my turntable is out of order too)

      played this piece when I managed an old brownstone,,fellas upstairs an upcoming buyer at EF hutton,,,came down to pay rent,,the boys would call down before knocking on the door,, or reporting a mechanical problem, I was practising in the tiled kitchen rather nice acoustics it had, he came down to pay up for the month, listened to the piece start to finish,,"man I never heard classical music before,,, that gave me goose bumps',,,,this piece by tarrega imparts something amazing in people,

    A perfect 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 between player and instrument. Her love for the guitar has infused her personality, and she 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 to the audience as she makes her guitar sing of her love for the instrument which she skilfully utilises to project her soul through her music. Immersed in her playing and at one with her instrument and self which has become over the years an extension of herself. She moves gracefully, light and nimble over 𝘁𝗵e 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 of life and love. She is an exceptional human being in the skin of a musician/artist? Her tone, technique and musicianship are second to none. A superb player with a polished technique. Thank you for all the sublime entertaining moments of your musical performances, why, even Segovia himself would have fallen at your feet.♥ ( That is my opinion after being around for 59 years and listening to some of the most brilliant classical guitar players and attending many concerts.)

    I love the variations on tremolo you put into the piece. Far less mechanical, far more feeling results. Excellent. This is how the piece is to be played, breathing life into the work and making the listener's breath catch at certain expertly rendered parts. The blend of tremolo and slower staccato really makes this piece stand out. A beautiful rendition.

      @adilarif4268 4 года назад +2

      It is amazing. With every other interpretation the tremolo dictates the song - unmoving, consistent, unflappable. But here with her dynamics she breaks down the emotional boundaries of the tremolo and allows it to feel, in an emotional release.

    Brilliant performance, played with real feeling, which makes so much difference to its musical presentation. Too many well known guitarists rattle it off note perfect, way too fast with little or no expression. It starts in A minor which is a sombre beginning then moves into A Major, this creates the mood and one can imagine those memories of home and a times past, both sad and happy. I love this classical piece and is one of the few pieces I can play from memory on my concert and alto flutes with a guitarist. Thank you for sharing your wonderful presentation.

    It is wonderful to hear a musician who has the fine control AND judgment to use tremolo thoughtfully and purposefully. Many guitarristas seem to have only one speed, as many violinists and singers have only one vibrato, either "ON" or "OFF." Xuefi Yang brings out an extraordinary richness and delicacy in this work that few other guitarists could manage. I am grateful for this performance and recording of what seems to be a "House Concert."

    I've watched and listened to lots of different well known guitarists playing this, each adding their own unique flavour. However, for the vast majority, the 'repeating' tremolo pattern is easy to hear. It's rare indeed (and extremely difficult to accomplish) when the time spacing and evenness between each finger stroke is so perfectly equal that the listener can hear no pattern - the ultimate aim for all tremolo playing. Xuefei, here, is that rare example.
