She's got the smoothest tremolo I've heard any of the guitarists play, whether played fast or slow. When many of the professional guitar do tremolo, I can hear each "ami" distinctly, like a horse gallop. With Xuefei, you can't tell.

Of the dozen guitar Recuerdos on You Tube, she is superb. Tops in dynamics, expression, and massaged tempo. Yang has played Recuerdos on 3 sessions on You Tube at abut 2 or 3 year intervals. Each time you wonder how it could improve further.

[ImaginaryGod2009]

yes indeed. To accomplish this she ought to have three things: practice, her passion in tremolo particular, and of course the best guitar. She is one of the best I ever listened to with this piece. Wonderful!

wonderful..........

@eriobotrya Note that Yepes is using a 12 string guitar giving more brilliance, perhaps called harshness. ie: less mellow. These extra strings are tuned up an octave giving this extra "brilliance"  samfifield81

@samfifield81 Only a dozen on YT? Really? I think you'll find there's a lot more than that. Xufei's is one of the better versions. The best tremolo technique is probably that of Narcisso Yepes, but I find his version lacks emotional depth, is slightly rushed, and a bit harsh because he plays most of it too close to the bridge.

This recuerdo is so magic that every time I hear it, it makes me cry

[MrAljuns]

bravo

[bransonguitar]

It is important to play the chords (thumb notes) as steady as possible. This is what makes the piece flow. Please see my video for example.

Fei is a wonderful guitarist and in a few years may be the best.
