Update me on new releases by Yang

(8.572995) will be released this year. Her recording of Paganini’s 24 Caprices, made at the age of thirteen, make her the youngest artist to have recorded these works. She also appears on the Naxos 20th Anniversary Gala concert DVD (2.110277) live from the Wigmore Hall, London. Her most memorable concert performances include those given in the Gewandhaus, Leipzig, the Salle Pleyel, Paris, the Philharmonic Hall, Berlin and the Gasteig, Munich. The Detroit News heralded her début with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as “the most important violinist to come on the scene in many a year” while her début with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra was described by the Seattle Times as “the introduction of an extraordinary violinist”. In May 2012 she was selected to perform for Naxos’s 25th Anniversary Gala celebrations and for the inaugural event of Classical:Next in Munich. Born in Bejing, Tianwa Yang began studying the violin at the age of four, winning six national competitions as a young child. At the age of ten she was accepted to study at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, the Hong Kong media soon naming her “A Pride of China”. In 2003 she was awarded a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service to study chamber music in Germany where she remains a resident. While admiring the music of Brahms, Mozart, Schubert and Ravel, Yang feels a strong affinity with the work of Wolfgang Rihm. She considers it emotionally compelling, diverse and unique, delivering an incessant tension that keeps the listener “right on the edge of their seat”. She is a multi-faceted artist who enjoys attending the opera, theatre and modern art exhibitions during her international travels. She extends her gratitude to Lin Yaoji, Jorg-Wolfgang Jahn and Anner Bylsma for their musical insight and support throughout her career.
