Chinese-Australian cellist Qin Li- Wei has become a permanent fixture in Singapore's musical scene, thanks to his position as head of cello studies at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory where he trains young cellists to fill the world's orchestras. As a soloist, his appearances in concertos and chamber music continue to excite audiences and this evening was no different.
Why is Li-Wei partial to Russian music?
Cellist Li-Wei Qin has just released a recording on Naxos, of Russian Cello Concertos including Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations, and not well-known but lovely works—Rimsky-Korsakov’s Serenade, Glazunov’s Concerto Ballata, and other short pieces.
His tone was lovingly burnished, flexible in nuances and ever sensitive to the music's constantly shifting dynamics
Chinese-Australian cellist Qin Li-Wei, head of cello studies, is the closest thing this nation has to the likes of Chinese-American artist Yo- Yo Ma living and playing on campus.
