Xuefei Yang - Sketches of China - official trailer

I am delighted to announce that my long new album, Sketches of China, is out today! It's a double album that's the result of a long-cherished desire to showcase the breadth and depth of Chinese music on my own chosen instrument - guitar.

Enjoy the video - it gives an overview of the album, an insight into how it was made, and contains music from the album too

Follow me on :

The transcendent style of traditional Chinese music is uplifting, meditative and relaxing. Just the balm I needed today as I am sick with flu... thank you dear as always for your focused musicality.

Cannot wait for the live videos. So happy for this new album. Thank you Mrs. Yang for the hard work XIEXIE!

[nylonguitar]

Very well done Xuefei! I look forward to enjoying your talent. Thank you for posting your music and your travels which lead you to explore your history.

[clementdong]

Really excited to see this. I admire your effort and spirit to interpret traditional Chinese musics and with guitar!

[marunikusbakufu]

This is very interesting. Thank you Xuefei! This requires a CD, not a digital download or stream. 🙂

I also like a CD. I play music a lot in my car.

Over 15 years ago, I think the Si JI album introduced me to pipa music (rather than the other way around). Unfortunately, it is not easy to find a cd of this new album. To me, digital files on a computer or phone is not the same as "having an album". I guess it's like having a PDF vs. having a book. I will find a cd in time. I only discovered the existence of these new recordings recently on chancing upon the Omni Foundation concert, here on YouTube. I remember seeing Xuefei perform in Dublin in 2006.

I might actually go out and buy a physical cd😊 Missed the womans hour interview due to being at work.😕 Keep hoping my pic might show up but the others are really good!

Which guitars are you using on the recording? I like the way you use different instruments on other CDs.
