beautiful tremolo, it really speaks to us, a signature piect of classic guitar as you opined.

[lisbethsababan]

I just stopped working on my desk and listen to this by heart while eyes closed. what a magical experience

[BeemerTwelve]

Rumor has it that when Tárrega played his piece in concert for the first time nobody clapped but most people were in tears.

[alcidesdebarros]

Magnifica apresentação, excelente expressão musical com incrível valorização melódica. Parabéns!

[gregsimmons]

This is the most expressive, perfectly controlled, rendition of Alhambra I have ever heard.

[userAA]

Guitar canon was making really good and attractive videos, I wonder what made them stop everything all of the sudden.

[displaychicken]

Her tremolo is just phenomenal. She is also very silent when moving her hands across the strings, hardly ever a squeak. Definitely my favourite new guard classical guitarist.

[damirkapetanovic]

the best interpretation of the Alhambra I have ever heard

[Thefare]

I just listened to more than 10 renditions. Yang Xuefei wins the award for the best tremolo.

[mvidias]

Xuefei Yang ama la música española, ama la guitarra española y está enamorada de España. Es imposible tanta perfección y tanto sentimiento si no quieres y crees en lo que tienes entre manos. Enhorabuena!!!

[ronaldcarmona]

Yes, her tremolo is very nice, and it's interesting to hear her change the tempo to add an affectionate feeling to the line. A unique rendition of this piece among the many available. Also Alexandra Whittingham does an outstanding performance with good sound quality like this one.

[marcelo.cau.]

Probably It's the most beautiful "Recuerdos" which I've ever listened.

[davidng]

Beautiful piece, you play from heart and souls, I practice Recuerdos for years still found it very difficult, not the tremolo technique, but to express the piece with heart felt feelings and emotions, but you accomplish it with perfection.

[smooches]

it doesn't get much finer than this. I've loved this piece since I first heard it on Christmas day 1964 (Segovia playing.) Xuefei Yang has a fine delicate touch that really gives the piece a soft and sentimental character; sweet melancholy is what it evokes in me. And tears, yes. Bravo.

[musket-hcfc]

This is by far the best playing of this piece that I have ever heard. Remarkably clean with smooth articulation. She understands the deepest meaning here and brings it out beautifully.

[marthacejas]

Quee RElindo .e encantan tus concierto gtacias

[oscaraguirre]

Hello good day, only beautiful musical theme, beautiful way of playing the guitar, congratulations XUEFEI YANG, YOUR fan Oscar.

[andrewlewis]

I did not think that anything could be perfect until I came across this! Xuefei Yang is the greatest treasure in the guitar world.

[arlingladrondeguevara]

Guitar Canon, soy andaluza y por supuesto que me gustan las interpretaciónes con guitarra de compositores españoles, gracias por su emotiva versión de "Noches de la Alambra, un saludo desde Basauri, al norte de España.❤

[davemanhere]

She's right. This piece made me fall in love with the classical guitar the first time I had the pleasure of listening to it in a live concert. I'm happy I attended.
