Tianwa Yang - violin
Navarra Symphony Orchestra / Ernest Martinez Izquierdo
This disc is Tianwa Yang’s first volume of the Spanish virtuoso, Sarasate’s music for violin and orchestra, a delightful survey of some of his most bewitching and demanding creations.
Albert Spalding’s description of Sarasate’s playing could well apply to Tianwa Yang’s interpretations: ‘His violin sang like a thrush, and his incomparable ease tossed aside difficulties’.
