Saint-Saëns: Works for Violin and Orchestra performed by Tianwa Yang
As anyone who has encountered her Sarasate series (also for Naxos) will testify, Tianwa Yang is a remarkable player with a scintillating technique, interpretative sensitivity and soaring tonal purity. It’s ideal for Saint-Saëns, whose violin writing was greatly influenced by Sarasate. |
