This past Sunday the Sugar3 and I attended a concert performed by virtuoso violinist Yang Liu and his wife, pianist I-Hsuan Tsai. We first met them a few years ago when we were invited to attend their concert with some mutual friends. After that concert, we all went out to dinner, where Yang proceeded to effortlessly drink everyone under the table.
Although not as well known as other world class violinists such as this guy or this one, Yang is in the same league. His playing is simply exquisite and downright jaw-dropping. But don't take CrackedPot's word for it, listen for yourself. Or buy his cd, Song of Nostalgia.
In past concerts attended by CrackedPot and Sugar3 Yang has played a million dollar Amati violin or the famous Lady Tennant Stradivarius violin. For this concert he played on a priceless 1741 Guarnerius violin, which according to Yang, is even more rare and coveted than Stradivari.
