Tan Dun: Konzert für Streichorchester und Zheng ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Yuan Li ∙ Julian Kuerti

[@LordEpicure]

In the middle part of this concerto (14:00, 15:05), both the strings and Guzheng have a melody which is based a northern China folk song "little cabbage". Little cabbage is the nickname of a little girl who lived a very hard life.

I’m glad that guzheng concertos exist

Yuan Li performance is so elegant, beautiful and emotional. Her body language is melt in the music with excellant rythem.

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

Beautiful. And I can only imagine how difficult that score must have been especially for the strings! Gosh. Well done everyone. 👍🏻

Love the conductor's jacket with a rendition of traditional Chinese buttons. Very properly dressed indeed!

[@notaire2]

Es ist meine erste Gelegenheit, dieses Werk zu hören. Der Ton des Soloinstruments klingt echt verschiedenartig. Die Streicher spielen auch sehr künstlerisch. Einfach wunderbar!

[@VanLocNguyen-yo5wq]

Belle rencontre entre l'ouest et l'est , le classique et le contemporain, avec des instruments traditionnels interpretant une composition contemporaine chinoise . La musique n'a pas de frontiere ! Yuan Li execute tres bien les techniques modernes appliquées sur le Zheng . Elle fait vibrer son âme sur les cordes dans les passages lents .Grand bravo à l'orchestre qui a dû executer aussi bien les percussions sur le bois de l'instrument et aussi par la voix en meme temps interpreter des harmonies tres éloignées du classique . Tous les compliments vont au chef d'orchestre aussi . Lan Phuong

[@benjamin9901]

Very cool piece. I think this is my favorite by Tan Dun

[@xudongyu958]

See the conductor's sweater dropping, well done, Mr conductor!

[@caonexpeguero9984]

Simply amazing. China has its Beethoven. To give us a composer of this caliber is simply amazing.

[@takakura5921]

Fantastic music and performance. It reminds me my in Northwest China, a very hard one. What really surprised me is the harmony between Chinese traditional music instrument and western ones, between Zheng which normally used in Southern China and for local music of South China and the northern style of the music. Wonderful concerto!

[@rossanopinelli5150]

Masterpiece! Tan Dun is a real genius of our time.

[@desireegunter1014]

Outstanding. Her hands move so beautifully.

[@dosterix6034]

Wow never saw the orchestra doing such things, that's cool

[@danzafrir2900]

That was absolutely thrilling. A masterpiece masterfully delivered.

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

This is a good reason why Bach existed! To have Tan Dun

[@shaolinkin]

Does anyone know the English name of this piece or at least what cd it can be found on so I can play this obnoxiously in LA traffic with the purpose of sublimating my anger through it?

Concerto for String orchestra and Guzheng (Zheng) by Tan Dun

[@yann8593]

古筝和交响乐团结合的很棒，我觉得是不错的尝试。我觉得如果纯粹是想欣赏古典中古音乐最传统的东西，自然不会把筝放到西方交响乐团里，中国乐器就算是乐团式演出也有自己传统的搭配方式。既然结合交响乐了，就得切换视角来欣赏。

[@MegalopsykhiaLIN]

One interesting thing is that the mijority of the Chinese music played on KZbin is Chinese folk music, which is not at all " classical" music in western sense.

[@mercutio3201]

林祝凱 说的好像老外不听流行天天听交响乐一样...

[@MegalopsykhiaLIN]

Mercutio 这和我说的有什么关系吗？

[@19660710Clarence]

Breathless performance

[@maxsilva11]

Most of this is basically just a different arrangement of Tan Dun's piece for Kronos Quartet with Wu Man, "Ghost Opera." I'm not mad, it's a banger piece, and it's cool to see it in a different version - just weird that this isn't acknowledged anywhere in the description.

[@hausofnadia]

Yessss!!!! Thank you for mentioning this! I noticed the similarities too!

[@偉龍劉]

谭盾真是天才！

[@tomski_w]

i love it

[@Maoweiguo]

几个世纪以来，欧洲和中国之间在语言，音乐，民俗等很多方面都产生了许多误解。 作品的方式或多或少地让人想到德国有趣的儿童歌曲“三个中国人和他们的低音大提琴”或街道儿童口中的“青，常，冲，中国人都是交通”。 谭盾在作曲手法上具有相当的实力，但从音乐的角度来看，可以清楚地听到欧洲人是怎么看待中国音乐的。作品为了照顾欧洲人对中国音乐的这种印象，多少反映在作品里面。 太糟糕了，由于这个构思方法所起的作用，降低了这个作品的艺术质量。 打一个适合的比方：有点像在德国的中国餐馆的饭菜。祝你们胃口好！ （google 翻译）

[@numbnumb1399]

中西文化的完美结合 很另类的演奏！

[@jasonxusaxophone]

In my opinion, this concerto could be composed more towards the Chinese folk pentatonic way, so we can fully expose the beauty of the instrument, Guzeng. This concerto is made too new and lost a lot of beauty of the Guzeng.

[@sneddypie]

this is still a really beautiful concerto, if you ask me

[@jasonxusaxophone]

The Classical Nerd of Classical Hi, yes I agree this is a really beautiful concerto. But we have to keep in mind that the beauty of Guzeng is the pentatonic Chinese folk style. That type of style can reveal this instrument’s beauty better. Also, I am not blaming on anything, I am just leaving my views and suggestions.

[@kenhimurabr]

@@jasonxusaxophone So why don't you compose one and stop being a douche?

[@jasonxusaxophone]

kenhimurabr Hi, I am sorry if anyone is feeling offended, I apologize. But if you go and translate some of the Chinese comments down below, you will understand us. Chinese people we always have a better understanding of guzheng. When it is composed in the classical western way, we can easily tell the beauty that have lost in guzheng. Thank you!

[@sneddypie]

Xu Jason just because one aspect of beauty has been lost in this concerto, does not mean it does not reveal a new understanding of the beauty the guzheng can behold.

[@rebeccachen150]

Anyone knows where to get the score of this?

[@alvinsimable]

Rebecca Chen You can get it from Steve Vai😎.

[@hwleung1350]

Curious why the number 1 string on this guzheng is not tuned for play.

[@Glasnot1]

resonance, for eliminating unwanted resonance while playing the chord.

[@rroo-m5x]

谭盾就是牛逼

[@Beyood]

东方利用西方乐器改编的《梁祝》，完成了中西合璧。这协奏曲过于标新立异，无法体现古筝的韵律，同时颠覆了我对小提琴的三观。西方对东方仍然缺乏理解。

The Guzheng player is Tan Dun 譚盾 not Yuan Li (check the list)

[@ericchen4146]

Tan dun is composer, Yuan Li is the player.
