I bet you the people inside the parliament had know idea how good this piece of music was until he played it. The guy who is playing the erhu knows he just amazed the people listening great combination of west and Chinese music.
I was in the Hangzhou Night Market one time and there was this kid learning this from their teacher. Right out in the middle of everyone. The kid had chops too.
God damn, I am Chinese, and erhu play was really common in my hometown when i was a child. But only in my mid-20s, when tradition starts fading. I just find that this art is soooo beautiful and players are sooooo talented.
Wow that was so brilliant and in the zone that It gave me goosebumps. The audience was too stunned to give a standing ovation so the players had to do it themselves, lol.
The violin can do the same sort of things, it is also a fretless stringed instrument... what differs is the style of the music not so much the instrument. They overlap and yet have some distinctiveness.
Disagree . While i do prefer the sound of erhu than the violin, you just can’t say “it’s more soulful” especially if you hear various instruments played by the respective masters of them, you’ll change your mind
I think in this song, the erhu is the horse while the violin and cello is the situation the horse is currently in. So maybe it has more soul because the horse in this song is suppose to "galloping". I think the combination of east and west is beautiful.
