Introducing Tianwa Yang INTRODUCING TIANWA YANG “I suppose Yang’s playing can only be described as perfect, and perfect is a word I normally hate to use, because I normally think of perfection to be a myth.“ – Elaine Fine, American Record Guide INTRODUCING TIANWA YANG BIOGRAPHY Called “an unquestioned master of the violin” (American Record Guide) who “rises above her competition” (Fanfare), Tianwa Yang has quickly established herself as a leading international performer and recording artist. The young violinist, a resident of Germany and heralded by the Detroit News as “the most important violinist to come on the scene in many a year,” has debuted with such major orchestras as the Detroit, Seattle, Baltimore, Nashville, Kansas City and New Zealand Symphonies, in addition to the MDR-Sinfonieorchester-Leipzig, Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Orchestre National d’Île de France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, and the Hong Kong, Buffalo, BBC, Deutsche Radio, Warsaw and Royal Liverpool Philharmonics. Ms. Yang has performed under the baton of renowned conductors Marc Albrecht, Andreas Delfs, JoAnn Falletta, Giancarlo Guerrero , Günther Herbig, Yoel Levi, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Gerard Schwarz, Vassily Sinaisky amongst others. Other international engagements include those at the Ravinia Festival, Virginia’s Arts Festival, London’s Wigmore Hall, Paris’ Salle Pleyel and Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Ms. Yang has also given live concert broadcasts from the Schwetzingen Festival, broadcast by the SWR Stuttgart, from the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, broadcast by Deutschlandradio, and from the Montpellier Festival, broadcast by Radio France. As a critically acclaimed recording artist for Naxos, Ms. Yang will soon expand her discography with the release of the complete Solo Sonatas by Eugene Ysaye. Of her previously released recordings of Pablo de Sarasate’s complete works for violin, David Hurwitz of Classics Today calls Ms. Yang a “sensationally talented violinist,” while All Things Strings speaks of her “stunning effortless virtuosity” and “uncanny affinity for Spanish music.” Ms. Yang most recent releases are both Mendelssohn Violin Concertos and the works for violin and piano by Wolfgang Rihm. She has also has also recorded Piazzolla’s Las 4 Estaciones Porteñas with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and the Vivaldi/Piazzolla Eight Seasons performed with her own ensemble. The remaining two albums from the eight disc set of complete Sarasate works for violin are due for release during this season. During the 2012-2013 season, Ms. Yang continues to build her growing reputation in concert halls across Europe, Australasia and North America. She has given debut performances in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and New York on tour with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, and will debut with the Pacific and Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestras returning to many of the symphony and recital centers of the world. Raised in the Chinese capital city, Ms. Yang began studying violin at the age of four. Demonstrating unquestionable ability, Ms. Yang won six competitions as a young child. At the age of ten she was accepted to study at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing as a student of Lin Yaoji. Within one year, Hong Kong media described the young artist as “A Pride of China.” Ms. Yang recorded the 24 Paganini Caprices at the age of thirteen, making her the youngest artist to release the works. In 2003 Ms. Yang was awarded a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service to study chamber music in Germany, marking the beginning of her European career. Ms. Yang has won several awards during her career including the Volkswagen Foundation prize “Star of Tomorrow” by Seiji Ozawa and the 2006 “Prix Montblanc.” She holds a place on teaching faculty of the Music Academy of Kassel, Germany and is grateful to Lin Yaoji, Jörg-Wolfgang Jahn and Anner Bylsma for the musical insight and support they have offered throughout her career. .PSF*OGPSNBUJPOXXXUJBOXBZBOHDPNtXXXOBYPTDPNQFSTPO5JBOXB@:BOHIUN 2 INTRODUCING TIANWA YANG DISCOGRAPHY N E W R ELEASE N E W R ELEASE Wolfgang RIHM: Complete Works Felix MENDELSSOHN: for Violin and Piano Violin Concertos 5JBOXB:BOH WJPMJOt/JDIPMBT3JNNFS QJBOP (Tianwa Yang, violin, Romain Descharmes, piano, “The astounding technique of Yang and Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä, Rimmer bring these pieces vividly to life.” Patrick Gallois) – International Record Review, Outstanding “Naxos deserves praise for making “A diverse mix of great music, contemporary music accessible...through showcasing the best features of Romantic excellent performances” violin repertoire, featuring hummable – BBC Music Magazine tunes, orchestral passion, and delicate chamber music.” – Classic FM, CD of the Week SARASATE, P. de: Violin and Orchestra Music, Vol. 1 (Tianwa Yang, Navarre Symphony, PIAZZOLLA, A.: Sinfonía Buenos Martinez-Izquierdo) Aires, Aconcagua, 4 Seasons of Buenos Aires “mellifluous and delightful music” – ClassicsToday.com (Binelli, Tianwa Yang, Nashville Symphony, Guerrero) “A most engaging collection… freshness, spontaneity matched by committed, idiomatic playing.“ – MusicWeb International SARASATE, P. de: Violin and SARASATE, P. de: Violin and Piano Orchestra Music, Vol. 2 Music, Vol. 1 (Tianwa Yang, Navarre Symphony, Martinez-Izquierdo) (Tianwa Yang, Hadulla) “Tianwa Yang is a sensationally talented “Each piece is beautifully characterized and young violinist.

Aujourd’hui, Stefan est le cor solo de l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. À Strasbourg, il montrera toute l’étendue de son talent en interprétant Mozart. Cornelius Meister dirigera l’une des plus belles œuvres de Zemlinsky que l’on entend peu en concert, Die Seejungfrau (La Sirène) d’après le conte d’Andersen. Armin Jordan l’avait révélée au public strasbourgeois en 2002. 3 Smetana fut l’un des artisans de l’émergence d’une musique natio- nale tchèque et signa l’un des pre- miers chœurs en langue tchèque : La Chanson tchèque en 1860.

  • Gurrelieder Pleyel-ALTAMUSICA-Juin 2011
    CRITIQUES DE CONCERTS 29 juin 2011 Gurre-Lieder de Schoenberg sous la direction de Marc Albrecht à la salle Pleyel, Paris. Apothéose opératique Enthousiasme salle Pleyel à la mesure de la somptueuse interprétation des Gurre-Lieder sous la baguette de Marc Albrecht à la tête de l’Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg. Sur des poèmes du Danois Jens Peter Jacobsen, la cantate de Schoenberg tient en haleine pendant les deux heures de cette œuvre monumentale à tous égards. Salle Pleyel, Paris Le 25/06/2011 Claude HELLEU Deux heures d’excès magnifiques. Sous la direction précise, calme, incisive de Marc Albrecht, les effectifs démesurés de l’orchestre donnent tout à entendre des envolées d’une partition gigantesque. L’Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg porte le souffle épique des masses instrumentales et raffine les voix données aux pupitres – seules les flûtes, au début, restent un peu en deçà des autres vents – sans jamais faillir à la lisibilité grandiose des Gurre-Lieder , poèmes d’amour et de mort de Jens Peter Jacobsen que nous pouvons ce soir suivre surtitrés. Six solistes, trois chœurs d’hommes à quatre voix, un chœur mixte à huit voix – Chœur Philharmonique de Brno, magnifique – participent au climat palpitant de ce conte fantastique où nous allons dans une atmosphère de plus en plus inquiétante des extases amoureuses du roi du Danemark aux chasse et équipée infernales qui le puniront de son blasphème à Dieu pour avoir permis la mort de sa bien-aimée. Panthéisme, symbolisme, impressionnisme somptueusement décadent, expressionnisme soudain et saisissant en troisième partie : les narrateurs se succèdent, voix individuelles limpides sur les masses orchestrales, celles des femmes particulièrement remarquables.
