Episode 28 features guitar legend Xuefei Yang – we chat about the importance of sleep and exercise for musicians, Fei’s journey to become the first Chinese classical guitarist to reach the world stage (just don’t call her a pioneer) and her new album “Sketches of China”. Find out Fei’s recommendation of what to listen to if you’re totally unfamiliar with guitar repertoire, and what to do if you break a nail before a show.
Gyms and fitness centres are now open again in the UK, so this episode opens with my thoughts on what I’ve been doing to keep myself moving, plus we have a Music College Didn’t Prepare me contribution from a sneezing bassoonist.
Special thanks to Rebecca and Tessa at Premier Classical for their assistance in this episode.
