Xuefei Yang plays her own arrangement of one of Guang Ren’s (1900-1941) best known orchestral works. Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon was composed by Ren Guang in 1935 for a Chinese instrumental ensemble. This comes via her great YouTube channel. I haven’t featured Xuefei for awhile but I’m always super impressed with her creative playing, arranging, and guitar orchestration. I saw her perform years ago and was shocked at her unique and virtuosic performance. One the greats of our day. As she mentions in her YouTube description: “The leisurely and graceful piece develops a poetic scene of clouds chasing the bring moon in the vast night sky. The piece uses folk melodies from China’s Yangtze delta.”
Wonderful and evocative–certainly not the same old same old–thanks!
Mesmerised. Truly magical work!
What stunning playing. A beautiful arrangement and video. Miss Yang even smiles at the end and looks at her viewers. A nice twist for guitarist instead of just looking at your guitar. Such passionate playing. I was mesmerized!!
