Mosaic: Wenting Kang, Sergei Kvitko

Violist Wenting Kang, winner of the First Prize of the Tokyo International Viola Competition, has been praised as an “excellent violist” who “possesses a dark glowing sound” (New York Times). Her debut album Mosaic, on Blue Griffin Records, is a collection of diverse and colorful pieces from France and Spain. Kang says, “These composers not only had a strong impact on each other´s work, but they were also very connected in their personal lives. Some of them were professor and student, such as Fauré and Ravel. Others were close friends and colleagues, such as Fauré and Albéniz, Ravel and Falla, Tárrega and Casals and de Falla, and on and on.”
