The award-winning duo Cantabile Strings, featuring former NSO concertmaster I-Ching Li and virtuoso guitarist Meng-Feng Su, showcases the exquisite harmony of classical guitar and violin. This episode highlights the world-class musicians as they explore a captivating repertoire of classical music defined by the fiery rhythms of Spanish music and the evocative soul of Latin American compositions. The performance features a profound dialogue between these two iconic string instruments, moving from the technical brilliance of Manuel de Falla’s “Spanish Dance No. 1” to the sophisticated French-Brazilian fusion of Roland Dyens and the rhythmic spirit of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ “Choro.” The duo masterfully bridges technical precision with deep emotional expression as the music moves from the universal yearning of Manuel Ponce’s “Estrellita” to the technical flair of “Serenata Española.” "Resound" is a TaiwanPlus original series that showcases Taiwan’s rich and varied musical landscape. We highlight a wide array of professionally performed genres and the diverse artists behind them—from classical virtuosos and contemporary singer-songwriters to jazz bands and a cappella groups telling stories unique to Taiwan. We believe that exceptional music is worth resounding over and over again.
