Xuefei Yang on BBC
Fan up The Classical Guitar Blog on Facebook!
BBC’s Story of the Guitar includes bits of performance and an interview with Xuefei Yang. I stumbled on this interview yesterday, and thought it might be of interest.
And a few bits of performance (Recuerdos and Asturias).

Is that a Smallman?
I think it might be. I’m not sure if she’s still playing a Smallman.

“…but you have to hear it in the big hall…then you can feel the power (of the guitar).”
What an odd statement to come from a guitarist. I have no idea why people feel they need to rely on acoustics when playing any instrument. Yes, it’s an effect, but that’s all it is. I don’t believe there should ever be one accepted medium to present music.
She may not feel that to be true either. But when she said (Asturias) needed to be heard within a large hall it sounded like such a knee-jerk response that the implication was certainly there.
