This set brings together all of Tianwa Yang's critically admired recordings of Sarasate's music for violin and piano. The great Spanish virtuoso was both an inspiration to his contemporaries and a composer of characterful and vivid pieces. He specialized in dances and arrangements, in scintillating operatic fantasies and in imperishably beautiful transcriptions. Yang's flawless intonation, lyricism and virtuosity have won accolades including the German Record Critics' Annual Prize in 2014 for her Naxos recordings of Sarasate's complete works for violin, and the ECHO Klassik awards for Best Up-and -Coming Artist in 2014 and Best Instrumentalist in 2015.
