I read the German blogs and classical reviews primarily in order to retain
my German language skills, such as they are .
.
In last few years the rave revues on the young(ish) Chinese violinist Tang Yang
have been nothing less than spectacular .
I finally broke down and bought her Naxos CD of Saint-Saens "Works for Violin and Orchestra " which are seldom played .
I’ve not heard such perfection of technique combined with unreal sensitivity to the music itself in many a year .
I suspect she doesn’t get much press in US because she was offered scholarships by both Julliard and Curtis at a very young age but turned them down for a German scholarship in Chamber Music .
She still resides in Germany and has 6 recordings on Naxos,,which is a German Firm , I ordered the other 5 today .
