Saint-Saens: Works For Violin And Orchestra

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.
