I immediately called the station, identified the CD as being by Zhu Xiao-Mei and purchased it. Zhu Xiao-Mei's performance is inspiried, intuitive and penetrates the soul of this music. Her playing is passionate and fluid. Overall a stunning performance and an outstanding effort. I heard The Partitas as I had never heard them before when listening to this artist and highly reccomend this two CD set.
