Xuefei Yang plays Butterfly Lovers

Supremely talented guitarist Xuefei Yangs second disc for EMI Classics, 40 Degrees North, comprises guitar music from Spain and China. The disc is so titled because the capital cities of both countries lie near latitude 40 degrees north. As Yang herself says, "To me, this parallel has come to symbolize the connection I feel to the music of both countries." The Spanish repertoire includes original solo guitar compositions (such as Tárregas Carnival of Venice) as well as arrangements of pieces written for piano or two guitars (Albénizs Seguidillas). Many of these works appear in new arrangements by Yang herself. Since China has no established guitar repertoire of its own, the Chinese pieces on this recording originate either from arrangements of traditional Chinese pieces (including two traditional Chinese folk songs arranged for guitar by Gerald Garcia), or new compositions based on Chinese themes (such as Welsh composer Stephen Gosss Chinese Garden, written especially for Yang). Also included on this recording is Butterfly Lovers, originally written as a violin concerto using Western orchestral instruments and arguably the best known piece of Chinese music.
