Summertime - EP

Xuefei Yang is one of the world’s most inventive guitarists, her acclaimed recordings spanning music from Brazil and Spain across to her native China. This beautiful, intimate EP is the second recorded by Yang exclusively for Apple Music at London’s Platoon Studio. Its stunningly crafted arrangements of Gershwin’s “Summertime” and three of The Beatles’ greatest songs show off her breathtaking technical skill and expressive command. Chinese singer Li Jian’s “Lake Baikal” and Japanese composer Akira Nakada’s “A Song of Early Spring” (masterfully arranged by composer Tōru Takemitsu) are touching in their simple warmth and bring this wonderful global journey to an end.
