Every aspect of Ning Feng’s playing seems to be under extraordinary control. The even-ness of his tone production whether high, low, slow & sustained or precipitously fast is remarkably similar. Usually you can perceive a degree of technical strain in the way the tone hardens or some passage-work might fractionally blur – not here, every note & strand of music remains crystal clear.

Béla Bartok composed his Sonata for violin solo (1944) after emigrating from Hungary to the USA on the outbreak of World War II. A few years before, he had openly expressed his aversion to Hitler & the rise of the Nazis, refusing to play his own music or have it performed in Germany. Bartók was consequently boycotted almost everywhere, particularly in pro-German countries. Political developments in Hungary & surrounding dictatorships became such an unbearable torment, that after long hesitation he said farewell to his fatherland (& to his mother). In North America, however, the composer & his wife could hardly settle. For many years Bartok did not compose, & he felt that he would never be able to do so again. He darted through the overcrowded streets of New York like an anxious animal. He felt like a miserable & uprooted stranger, became ill, & weighed hardly 44 kilos in 1943. Bartók died of leukaemia in New York in 1945.
None of these works is anything less than enthralling, & a few approach the incandescent. Milstein’s arrangement of the Paganiniana has never been bettered… this is an unqualified recommendation of a wonderful album that demonstrates the highest artistic & programming skills possible.” Ning Feng plays a 2007 Stefan-Peter Greiner violin in this recording.
