Upon hearing it for the first time, the piece actually brought tears
to my eye, it having reached so deep into my psyche.
I wonder how composers are able to do that?
Many great players played this piece, and I have both Christopher
Parkening's as well as Antigoni Goni's via iTunes; but this
interpretation by Xuefei Yang, when she's in her teens, I believe, is
a bit better played.
Not as polished as the much older and highly recognized Christopher
Parkening, especially in a certain improvisational moves (Parkening
used the slide, from one note to another; while most players used the
clean-cut jump, for example; and I prefer Parkening's movement on
those one or two movements). But I still like XueFei's interpretation
here better than either Antigo Goni or Parkening's...
