The Ear Candy 3: Renaud Capucon, Xuefei Yang, Frederick Moyer
The Ear Candy 3 turns now to classical albums that deliver small surprises.
Xuefei Yang “40 Degrees North” Classical guitarists must fight over-familiarity with the core repertoire. Chinese-born Yang battles this by pairing Spanish nuggets with arrangements of Chinese traditional music. Clever.
Frederick Moyer “Edward McDowell/Clara Schumann” The mid-major Romantics of this album’s title provided the two epic piano concertos. Moyer stirred the waters by recording McDowell’s No. 2 with a obscure Bulgarian orchestra and the Schumann with a Midi Orchestra of sampled sounds. Try to tell the difference.
