Xue-Wei
Violin
What a great pleasure it is to welcome back Xue-Wei, the internationally-renowned virtuoso and dear friend of the NSO. His superlative account of the Brahms Concerto last season still lives in the memory and no-one will want to miss his fourth appearance with the orchestra. He has been described in the Guardian as a "devastating performer, combining formidable technical prowess with great breadth and variety of expression". Classic CD wrote of his Tchaikovsky recording, "I was absolutely riveted by this performance and cannot recall having heard this work played so well on record or in concert". Wei now lives in the United States where he is making a success of performing, teaching and giving master-classes.
