 Awesome classical guitar October 26, 2008
Physics teacher (Atlanta)
Xuefei Yang is awesome. I discovered her talents when I bought Si Ji after listening to snippets through Amazon. She has a total command of the instrument, you will not be disappointed. Romance de Amor has selections that aren't classical per se, but very good nonetheless. Example: Lennon/McCartney's Michelle. If you like guitar, this is a must for your collection.
Excellent Classical Guitarist December 28, 2007
Mac Newbie (Elk Grove, CA)
She is an excellent classical guitarist, no doubt about it. Her technique is flawless and with precision. This CD is excellent, every song on it is just superb.
 Style arguable, but still quite good December 15, 2007

Xue Fei Yang's playing is technically flawless and her program should please any guitar lover. Indeed, the 16 pieces she's chosen include guitar "musts" such as Albeniz's Asturias, a few less digestible but valuable pieces like Villa-Lobos Etude n.7 and Sagreras' El Colibri, and, among them, a cherished popular jewel like Lennon's and McCartney's Michelle . On interpretation, however, I think she could use some advice. The CD's title piece, Romance de Amor, is a case in point. Banalized as it has been over the last three or four decades, I must say I still love it ; I just don't understand why some guitarrists try to make it more "romantic" than it already is. Yang goes rather far in this direction. With Villa-Lobos' Etude number 7 she does the opposite , playing it a lot faster than usual. And then, La Cumparsita - a tango classic . My quarrel is simply that she should have meant her arrangement and playing as a "variation" on Mattos Rodriguez's original, not as the "real thing" . As it is, it really fails to evoke what I for one understand to be the tango "soul".

This is one of the best recordings I've ever had. Selection of songs, some classical and some popular pieces, is very interesting. This CD must be listened from the beginning till the end and you will enjoy every single moment in it. The young artist with all her talents has a great potential for successful career.

I've listened to a lot of excellent classical guitarists. Having recently purchased this CD, I find it to be a refreshing new collection. Putting her own interpretation into the Romance de Amor, this is my favorite rendition of that traditional song.
Every once in a while, a classical musician comes along who just has "it", that something that conveys to the listener the very heart and soul of the performer. Someone like Jacqueline du Pre on the cello or Emil Gilels on piano. Xue Fei Jang is such a performer. If you love classical guitar, you can't go wrong with this CD.
