THE NEW ALBUM - ROMANTIC VIRTUOSOFrom the Classical to the late Romantic, which is the peak period of the development of violin performance. All composers and master violinists have tried to maximize the art of violin performing, whether in terms of bowing or left-hand techniques.
Virtuoso and Romantic seem to be opposite terms, but they are also full of mutually reinforcing relationships. Gorgeous virtuosic works are inseparable from the romantic core of music. Of course, lyrical and romantic works also require delicate skills to be fully demonstrated. This album includes Ms.Huang’s works ranging from brilliant virtuoso to tender romantic style which presents the ability and mind to accommodate opposites that composers or performers pursue throughout their entire lives.
This album seems to have experienced the most glorious period of violin performance development. It encompasses almost all the modern performance techniques that flourished on the violin in the 19th century. Regarding the opposition and interweaving, tolerance, and mutual development of romance and virtuosity in music, this album will be the most convincing expression.
