Bartok, Prokofiev, Hindemith: Sonatas for solo violin
Ning Feng (violin)
Channel Classics CCSSA34413 (hybrid SACD)
A generous collection of some of the key 20th century works for solo violin. This is the second solo disc from this assured Chinese player, presenting a more logical, more satisfying programme than its rather bitty predecessor. He plays a modern instrument, securing a singing tone and overcoming most technical difficulties with ease. If no performance on the current disc is quite a first choice, this is nevertheless a convenient way to acquire fine performances of important repertoire in excellent sound.
