Xuefei Yang

"I usually use EJ46LP on stage and EJ45LP for recording. I always choose these polished strings as they really help reduce string noise. The higher tension EJ46 strings have that extra projection needed on stage, whilst the EJ45 give more room for vibrato in a studio situation."

ABOUT Xuefei Yang

Hailed as a musical pioneer, Xuefei Yang’s fascinating journey began after the Cultural Revolution—a period where Western musical instruments and music were banned. Fei was the first-ever guitarist in China to enter a music school and became the first internationally recognized Chinese guitarist on the world stage.

Fei is one of the few guitarists whose artistry connects with audiences far beyond the guitar fraternity. Her international success has led her to play in more than 50 countries at prestigious venues. She is frequently invited to play with the world's leading orchestras and collaborate with artists such as Ian Bostridge, Rosalind Plowright, and Sir James Galway.

Xuefei has appeared on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, the BBC Proms, & documentaries on BBC and China Central Television. Additionally, UK classical music station Classic FM named Fei as one of the 100 top classical musicians of our time.

Fei has made many acclaimed recordings for major labels. Her first received a gold disc and her second was selected as “Editor's Choice” in Gramophone magazine. Fei's recent releases include a solo album "Colours of Brazil," (Decca), "Songs from our Ancestors" which continues her successful collaboration with Ian Bostridge, EP "One Day in November" (Apple Music), "Sketches of China" (Decca) & "Guitar Favourites" (Decca).
