Tianwa Yang is 'an artist of exceptional technique and musicianship' (BBC Music Magazine) and has established herself as a leading international performer and recording artist, winning the Annual Prize of the German Record Critics 2014 for her acclaimed recordings of Sarasate's complete violin works. Her 'stunning effortless virtuosity' and 'uncanny affinity for Spanish music' (All Things Strings) make her the ideal advocate for the music presented on this recording. The Introduction et Rondo capriccioso is a glittering showcase imbued with the passion of Iberian dance, while the Havanaise in E major is a languorous habanera. Less frequently heard are the evocative Caprice andalou, the songful Romance in C major, the rhapsodic Morceau de concert, and the improvisatory La Muse et le Poete.
".. each of the performances given here are as fine as I have heard. This is music that is meant to be attractive and appeal. Its function is not to be profound or life-changing but that does not mean it cannot be life-enhancing. Saint-Saëns found a perfect fusion of form and function, and in turn Tianwa Yang is the ideal modern interpreter. My only surprise is that a recording of this calibre has been held in the Naxos vaults for more than three years. Delightful in every respect." MusicWeb Jan 2018
