| 'Diabolic finger works and angel-like lyrical melodies'. Born in Chengdu, China, Feng Ning started playing violin at the age of four, giving his first performance the following year. In 1992 he entered the High School of Sichuan Conservatoire of Music where he studied with Prof. Weimin Hu. In 1997, he won the Grand Prize at the 5th International Art Competition for High School Students in Takasaki Japan. Many first prizes and awards followed and in September 2006, Feng Ning won 1st prize as well as two other special prizes at the prestigious 51st Paganini International Violin Competition in Genova, Italy, and was invited to perform with Paganini's own violin - The 1743 Guarnen del Gesù Cannone'. |

| [size=-1]Site review by Polly Nomial November 30, 2008 | [size=-1]Performance: Sonics (MC): | [size=-1]What a violinist!
As part of Channel Classics' "Channel of China" series, this must be viewed as a compulsory purchase by all who admire the art of transforming technically dazzling pieces into lyrical works of art. Of the 8 works presented here, almost all are arrangements by one F. Kreisler, one is arranged by G. Kinsky and F. Rothschild leaving 2 "pure" (violin only) Paganini works; the arrangements are all for violin and piano.
It is very difficult to single out highlights from this disc but surely one must be the quite frankly jaw-dropping performance given by Ning Feng of the Variations on God Save the King - it really has to be heard to be believed. Nor is Feng's sole claim to accolades his technique; his ample ability to phrase a melody can be heard to great effect in the Cantabile. Feng has clearly formed a good relationship with his accompanist Thomas Hoppe on this disc and Hoppe manages to bring the most out of the fairly meagre piano parts and manages to negotiate every twist and turn that is thrown his way with ease.
The sound is fortunately well up to the house standard that Channel Classics have set themselves, though it is much closer than other recordings in their catalogue yet it should come as no surprise that Feng withstands such scrutiny with astonishing ease. The notes are also well written with some interesting trivia that goes beyond 'Paganini was the devil'; included in them is a highly apposite phrase "It [Paganini's music] is reserved for a small, select group of master violinists" - Feng deservedly belongs in this group and few, if any, other violinists who are represented on SACD also merit such membership so clearly.
A stunning début and one that will hopefully be followed up before too long. | |
