It just doesn't get any better than this. "Stunning musicality" precisely nails it. This duo sets new standards for what is possible with a guitar duo.
@fingerhorn410 жыл бұрын
This is stunning musicality. The tired cliche of Asian players being apparently "soul-less" is well and truly debunked by this stunning performance. Both players have a wonderful variation in nuance and colour. The fact that they are both technically flawless just opens up the musical possibilities even more. When you are this assured you can concentrate on expression, dynamics, colour and phrasing. Thanks for uploading. This is guitar magic.

Part of the reason Asian players are stereotyped might be the way music is approached by communist governments. They tend to treat music as a form of state propaganda. Because they are ideologically opposed to individualism and romanticism one expects them to de-emphasize the feelings of both the student and the composer. Another source of the stereotype might be the thought that the music comes from a different culture. When white musicians play the blues they are sometimes characterized as shallow or soul-less. I don't say that these characterizations are correct.

Actually, this is pretty much soulles. The musical interpretation is here nothing more than following a certain pattern. A very well executed patterns nonetheless but still a mechanical approach toward music. Nothing really interesting happened here. Not once they explored the gap behind and between the notes. The reason for this is because they are not conditioned to major and minor scales. Chinese (Japanese as well) evolves around the 4th and the 5th. Now this may sound very negative but that is not the case. This is just really good but not so interesting and I can't blame them. It's a bit the same as when we try to play Chinese music: we can follow what the teacher tell us and play it according to what is written in the score, but that doesn't mean we can get to the bottom of the meaning of the piece simply because it's not in our blood so to speak to understand Chinese music. Now what is very good here is tone quality and the fact the fact they have both a very good free stroke (I myself only use free stroke as well because I can apply more color and you're able to articulate more precisely) to appoach this more positively.

+AllinTwilight soul and feeling is a myth created by those who suck at the instrument. These girls are introverted, which is why it may appear that they dont have any emotion, while underneath, they may be full of feelings. Whenever I see a girl or kid who is technically talented and can play fast, I always see idiots, saying, no feeling no soul, is nothing but a coping mechanism to feel better about yourself, and the fact that you suck at guitar, cannot play as good as them

Just FYI for those that says it’s emotionless because the lack of facial expression. When classical guitarists play its usually without facial expression, unless 1. For show, 2. Facial muscle twitch response due to the piece being too difficult and demanding for the hands. Another trivial fact, their teacher is Chen Zhi from Beijing music conservatory. All of the accomplished guitarists from China studied under him. However he didn’t even play classical guitar he played Hawaiian guitar. he uses video tapes of other guitar performers as tool to teach, this was during a time before the internet so the those Vhs tapes Mr. chen had was like a gold mine for young guitarists to study.

Felicitaciones fue perfecto, aunque es duro comprender que la música es - finalmente - una colección de notas, tiempos, silencios y detalles...algo que tal vez deberíamos escuchar con los ojos cerrados, para evitar descubrir el truco y poder creer, sin angustias, que la magia existe. Borges escribió: "En aquel Imperio, el Arte de la Cartografía logró tal Perfección que el Mapa de una sola Provincia ocupaba toda una Ciudad, y el Mapa del Imperio, toda una Provincia. Con el tiempo, estos Mapas Desmesurados no satisficieron y los Colegios de Cartógrafos levantaron un Mapa del Imperio, que tenía el Tamaño del Imperio y coincidía puntualmente con él." El mapa después fue abandonado. Sin embargo, mientras se realizaba, pude ver a dos chicas que disfrutaban dibujándolo y - en ese momento - nada del universo les era inalcanzable...

@EzequielLagrottaTrompetista10 жыл бұрын
Tendrá elementos del tango, pero el tango tiene un estilo bien pronunciado, cosa que no caracteriza las composiciones de Piazzolla, que al mezclarlo con elementos del jazz creó su propio estilo. La diferencia es evidente, de acá a la china, entre las composiciones de Piazzolla y una orquesta típica. Es como decir que un vals es zamba porque está en 3/4.. son estilos diferentes que los caracterizan distintos elementos (compartan elementos entre sí, o no). No digo que Piazzolla nunca haya tocado o compuesto tango, digo que el estilo que lo caracteriza (como el de la obra de este video) no es tango sino una mezcla de varios estilos que concluyen en su estilo propio.
