Xuefei Yang and Natalie Clein
Xuefei Yang, guitar (China)
Natalie Clein, cello (UK)
"She is a performer of such great magnetism that she sweeps her audiences along with her, so much so that it is almost a shock when she stops playing and you find yourself back in the real world once more."
The Oxford Times on Natalie Clein
"One of the most extraordinary instrumentalists in the world. Ms Yang plays her Spanish music, like her other music, fabulously; with sparkle, clarity and flair."
The New York Sun
This unmissable tour features two truly spell-binding performers. Natalie Clein’s remarkable talent first came to the world’s attention when, aged sixteen, she won the BBC’s “Young Musician of the Year” award. Since then she has won a Classical Brit award and performed with many of the world’s finest orchestras and chamber music ensembles. If her innate musicality and gorgeous tone weren’t already leaving the critics breathless, she has been fearless in combining traditional repertoire with more experimental pieces.
Clein’s pioneering spirit is more than matched by Xuefei Yang: first-ever guitarist in China to enter a music school or launch a professional career, and first to sign an international recording contract with EMI. Lauded for her “feisty virtuosity”, light touch and precision, Yang gives a new meaning to the phrase “in demand” – in 2003 alone she performed 54 concerts for the “Night of the Proms” Tour, appearing in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany to a combined audience of over 800,000 people!
