Unleashing The Power Of The Violin With Ning Feng @ Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS, Level Two, Tower Two, PETRONAS Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur (20/06/2024)
Ning Feng, Violin
Ning Feng is recognised internationally as an artist of great lyricism, innate musicality and stunning virtuosity. He performs across the globe with major orchestras and conductors, and in recital and chamber concerts in some of the most important international series and festivals. In 2019, the Washington Post described him as “a wonderful player with a creamy, easy tone and an emotional honesty” and BBC Music Magazine said of a recent recording, “His silvery tonal purity, immaculate intonation and gently beguiling musicality have a way of making most other players sound decidedly effortful by comparison”.
Ning Feng has toured Europe, Asia and Australia with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and van Zweden, and China with the Budapest Festival Orchestra with Iván Fischer (with whom he has also performed several times in Budapest), with the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchester and Lawrence Foster, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (with whom he has also worked many times). Other career highlights to date include performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish, LA Philharmonic, National Symphony (Washington), Helsinki Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony, Frankfurt Radio Symphony and Russian National Symphony orchestras amongst others. He has worked with many eminent conductors including Gianandrea Noseda, Marin Alsop, Yu Long, Tugan Sokhiev, Vladimir Spivakov and Vassily Petrenko.
In chamber music, Ning Feng works regularly with Igor Levit and together, they have performed at the Schubertiade Festival and across Germany and London, including at Wigmore Hall and Barbican Centre. He has performed many times at the Kissinger Sommer Festival, and collaborated with artists including Edgar Moreau, Daniel Müller-Schott and Nicholas Angelich.
Ning Feng records for Channel Classics and his most recent disc Paganini Caprices 24+1 was released in January 2021, which Gramophone reviewed as “his ability to make the music palatable for listeners… The more you listen the more you want to listen”. The CD was also recommended by the Strad magazine. His earlier recording of Bach’s complete solo works for violin was hailed by Gramophone as “unlike anyone else’s… it’s the illusion of a freewheeling conversation projected from within that held me captive”. His discography includes concerti by Elgar, Finzi, Tchaikovsky, Paganini, Vieuxtemps, Bruch (Scottish Fantasy), works for violin and orchestra by Sarasate, Lalo, Ravel and Bizet/Waxman, and with the Dragon Quartet, works by Schubert, Dvořák, Borodin, Shostakovich and Weinberg.
Born in Chengdu, China, Ning Feng studied at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music with Prof. Weimin Hu, the Hanns Eisler School of Music (Berlin) with Prof. Antje Weithaas, and the Royal Academy of Music (London) with Prof. Hu Kun where he was the first student ever to be awarded 100% for his final recital. A recipient of prizes at the Hanover International, Queen Elisabeth and Yehudi Menuhin International violin competitions, Ning Feng was first prize winner of the 2005 Michael Hill International Violin Competition (New Zealand), and, in 2006, won first prize in the International Paganini Competition.
Ning Feng plays the 1710 Stradivari violin known as the ‘Vieuxtemps Hauser’ by kind arrangement with Premiere Performances of Hong Kong, and plays on strings by Thomastik-Infeld, Vienna.
Ning Feng will perform Beethoven's Violin Concerto concert with the MPO conducted by Jaume Santonja on Saturday, 22nd June 2024.
