As a Brazilian guy, and listening this melody from a great composer played by a talented guitarist like Xuefei Yang, I can just imagine how happy and proud Dilermando Reis would be if he could listen his melody played with so much skill and heart. Thank you, Xuefei Yang.🌹🎶🎶💯

Saudade is a feeling of longing, melancholy, desire, and nostalgia that is characteristic of the Brazilian or Portuguese temperament. It describes a deep emotional state; a yearning for a happiness that has passed, or perhaps never even existed. Just perfect here.

Don’t know why but this performance just brought me to tears. It’s like a piece taken away from my heart.

This performance sounds likes it's bleeding. It's so heartfelt. Xuefei is a true maestro. One of the greatest, ever. I had the pleasure of participating in a masterclass with her about 10 years ago and it was a truly eye opening experience. The dedication, the discipline it takes to perform at this level is something 99.9% of us will never understand. The music however, the emotions being conveyed here are something all of us can understand. Whatever language comes from our mouths is irrelevant as this music comes from the heart.

Imagine Santos Hernandez at his little downtown Madrid work-bench making this masterpiece of a guitar. He must be smiling from above at this stunning performance by Xuefei Yang. Art at it's highest.

Amazing control and passion into this piece. Everything is just so very well done. I have known this piece for 20+ years but only now am I inspired to play it myself. Thank you Xuefei.

[reginaldwood]

The most beautiful sound I have ever heard delivered by a Purity just as beautiful.

[ValdirECarmo]

Interpretação maravilhosa. Canção lindíssima, nos faz chorar de verdade. Que saudade de Dilermando Reis, que perfeição esse violão da Xuefei Yang

[jackwalker]

Xuefei Yang is by far my favorite classical guitar player. I have three of her CD's that I listen to regularly. It is not simply technical proficiency but the expressive musicality and heart put into the music. This piece makes the listener reflect on something deep in their psyche, perhaps some unfulfilled longing.
