Dear Lady, I am an an old man from the other side of the planet. In your music, that which rises up from your spirit, I see a vision of a cold, clear, silent river ... here, just over the hill on this summer night, with the fog rising, drifting, flowing, beyond time and space. And your serine music drifts through me ... alone as I am in this little mountain valley, I thank you for all that you are ... all the magic you create. Be well and be happy, ned

[@XuefeiYangGuitar]

Thank you Ned

[@iraking4782]

Miss FEI the first time I heard you playing guitar I had to stop driving my car, park along the road and listen to this spirit coming into my soul with such joy, warmth, and artistry...been listening to you ever since...heartache - cannot find your very first CD - can you help me with that...I have all your other work!!!

Apple music and Amazon music I guess.@@iraking4782

That's exactly what the first song was about, Ned!

Uau!! What a deep poetical complementing text!! Amazing and also inspiring!! (Unfortunately not heard everyday these days!!)

[@phamhuy7803]

Guitar is called the most versatile instrument for a reason.

[@southstarjj]

I have watched her play at St. Mark's Church in Dec. 2019. Feels like yesterday. Her performance in-person was so touching and enjoyable. Now seeing her play on KZbin... What a different year last year...

Thanks for the time stamps it sure help. Exquisite artist.

[@attilakovacs5803]

Dear Xuefei, I'm just listening to this concert, and the first piece has brought tears into my eyes straightaway. It's so different from the usual repertoire pieces, lovely, and it comes from your soul! I'd like to hear more Chinese music from you! Your personal beauty and your lovely dress are amazing, too! The Smallman guitar is also fantastic, it sounds clean, resonant, woody, soulful, magnificent. Clearly a top-class instrument! Thank you for uploading this masterfully edited video! I can but wish I had been there in the audience, it must have been an experience of a lifetime!👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-pf1zu9mr9x]

開耳界了。楊大師能用吉他詮釋國樂且得其中三昧，真服。

[@razakza]

I'm impressed no one is saying, "I don't like the tone on that Smallman because blah blah blah..." Xufei is a phenomenal player without a doubt.

[@attilakovacs5803]

It's an instrument with a great, clear but woody tone. I absolutely love it.

[@todhursen8102]

Your Chinese classic is a breath of fresh air; Astor Piazzola better than ever heard and I loved your tasteful use of harmonics. Thank you.

[@HarryVerey]

What a truly fabulous concert Xuefei and beautifully recorded. A great gift to the world of music.

[@paulking2919]

Absolutely amazing performance. The audience is also commendable for staying so quiet.

[@MichaSloman]

Magnificent and deeply inspiring. I absolutely adore Xuefei Yang's playing.

[@michaelmao1155]

Surely, the Buddha(s) are happy & proud to have this outstanding musician sharing her music/humanity with others in this temple & beyond. Brava, YXF.

[@rodneymorris9171]

You are at one with the Guitar, the music, the performance. The guitar is an extension of you, you are an extension of the guitar. Truly masterful ❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸🙏

[@OrganicGuitarExplorer]

So incredibly delicious from entree to dessert!! The Sword Dance blew the audience away. And the Reis Saudade was so passionate and moving. Every piece beautiful, Ms. Yang truly a maestra of the guitar and an excellent asset to her native land and people. Thank you Omni Foundation for another wonderful concert!

[@kenmeerlivermaile]

Segovia is jubilantly envious, happy to see the guitar go so wonderfully far yet stay so pure to its core soul. Discovering you on the day that Pharaoh Sanders died has been much solace. My humble gratitude.

[@robertfantazo4751]

I've been watching a lot of good music classical guitar as I study classical guitar and I'm a amateur on my best day. This is the best sounded concert video performance, she is perfect. Thank you for this performance.

[@jmoody166]

Wow, stunned - Lake Baikal is incredible

[@ajett5081]

I love the selections. And the playing of cause.

[@gedofgont1006]

I'm bewitched! The first piece, alone, seems to redefine what the classical guitar is capable of.

[@donnysath9084]

Sounded very oriental.

[@julioduan7130]

@@donnysath9084 The original music is usually played by Chinese musical instrument Pipa. She used a lot of technique of Pipa when playing guitar.

[@mk0879vg]

Wow, she is fantastic 👏

Sou de Maceió-Brasil. Sua execução de obras ibéricas e latinoamericanas -o que exige mergulho na alma iberoamericana - me conquistou. Passarei a ouví-la com frequência. Show de bola. ♡

[@giovannibuffa7858]

I am speechless. So much purity of sound and feelings. Besides, I like that she emphasizes the singing more than the accompanying notes, which, if I’m not wrong, is quite rare.

[@timrushworth8276]

I wasn’t able to make it to your concert in Southampton this evening, as I tested positive with Covid today. Instead I watched this video, which although is a different program, made a good alternative! I was particularly looking forward to seeing the Bach Cello suite, so maybe you could make a video of that sometime? Thanks for sharing this fantastic concert. Visually and musically spectacular in every respect. Just perfect!
