On this CD, full of virtuoso firework, romantic lyricism and temperamentful folklore, the borders between Spain and France fade and passion takes over. When Ning Feng was asked to perform with the Spanish Orchestra Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias in Spain it was clear this ‘passion’ was guaranteed. The Channel van, packed with microphones and cables, drove all the way through French mountains and along Spanish coastlines to the Auditorio Palacio in Oviedo where we captured his daredevil violinistic ‘stunts’ and tones of unsurpassed sweetness and purity.
