On his debut recording, the Chinese ARD prizewinner Diyang Mei presents truly transcendental works for viola solo: the passacaglias and ciaconne by Bach, Britten, Ligeti, Biber and Hindemith – a program of great intrinsic luminosity! It is indicative of the mastery and artistic maturity of the multiple competition winner that he has so completely transformed some of the greatest, most profound works of literature. In so doing, he extends far beyond his instrument. A great production! © Genuin
