Disc 1:

1. Michelle

Customer Rating: - Awesome classical guitar
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.

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.

Customer Rating: - Style arguable, but still quite good
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 Albéniz's Asturias, a few less digestible but valuable pieces like Villa-Lobos Étude 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' Étude 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".

Customer Rating: - Various music styles played with guitar
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.
