Arnold Bax Viola Sonata I. Molto moderato - Allegro II. Allegro energico, ma non troppo presto III. Molto lento Hsin-Yun Huang, viola Pei-Yao Wang, piano June 29, 2013
This performance explored the rich beauty of this masterpiece, and I do not use the last word lightly. Melody followed melody. As someone else has remarked, I would like to have seen more of the pianist as this was a true piece of ensemble playing.
Broad tone on the viola; played with confidence. Wonderful cooperative playing between the performers. Personally, I would have liked the pianist to have received more attention from the camera. She was as impressive as the violist. Bravo to both.
Tremendous performance of this Bax masterpiece for viola. I do hope Ms. Hsin-Yun Huang will someday make a commercial recording of the Bax Sonata and maybe the Bax Viola Phantasy -- if she knows it. Thank you for posting your live performance of the sonata on RUclips -- and my compliments to your pianist!
Brava Ms Huang you have made me fall in love with this piece, such fine playing!!!. I will be playing it this semester . You have one more fan right here. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I far prefer Ms. Huang's performance here to William Primrose's legendary one. (He has some intonation problems). She has the full measure of the piece. Bravo! Bax deserves to be heard way more often than he is - a VERY interesting and compelling composer.
What a privilege it is to be able to hear such a thoughtful and lovely performance by the masterful Ms. Huang - thank you!!

Stunning performance, beautiful!
Excellent. Superior. Bravo. Thank you for this adorable performance.
A fantastic performance of such a technically demanding piece. Brava Ms Huang!
Hsin-Yun, this is stunning!!!!! OMG!
Great performance of an extremely difficult sonata. 2nd movement was particularly striking.
what a beautiful pair of performers, wonderful ensemble, shame the piano is hidden by the badly placed camera.
what a good performance and recording, it sounds so good. This Bax sonta is incredible good
Fantastic! So musical and with gorgeous tone!
Joué à ce niveau Bax devrait convaincre tous les altistes et pianistes de la méconnaissance qui le frappe en France.
BRAVISSIME!
THANK YOU!!...
