Wu Man performs Zhao Jiping's Pipa Concerto No. 2 with the NCPA Orchestra

[@EastPlanet]

The whole sequence from 5:20 to 7:00 moved me to tears. The way Wu Man passes the baton to the violins, then we hear the cellos return with that angelic melody, and finally the big cinematic orchestral moment with Wu shredding on top. Wow. That was awesome

It's from "Temptress Moon". It is beautiful but the melody has been changed as it is very different from the movie.

I started watching historical Chinese dramas for over a year now. I love the sound of zither. I am now watching the Dream of Splendor where a girl was a pipa player. I love the sound of it. I don’t play the guitar but I love Chinese string instruments. I’m going to follow you. Although the orchestra enhanced the sound of the Pipa, I prefer it as a solo piece. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent to the world.

I went to the concert yesterday, and what a wonderful performance for a wonderful music (despite the pictures, never let the visual distract from the music!)

Wonderful seascape of Pippa goodness.

Wonderfull music and great performance! Many thanks from Belgium. The Pipa is unknown here in Western Europe.

The NCPA Orchestra is actually the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra. The conductor however was no bloody good - he did not deserve a mention.

Powerfull¡¡¡

A GREAT performance. However the sound recording lacks of dynamics, sounds like the automatic gain control was turned on ...

[@lumiwang955]

I guess it's hard to play pipa along with an orchestra. It doesn't project that well as violins.. Needs quite some balancing. Amazing performance!!! I wish there are more of this kind!

Fantastic! I heard Wu Man performing in this Concerto on the radio last night - Performance Today, so it was also live. Then they played an encore she did, called White Snow in Spring - 3RTPd2oGb5Q.

great and fine performance, just the dress looks like an avatar

[@westmont]

Great piece. but unfortunately terrible sound recording. Pipa was overwhelmed by the orchestra most of the time.

[@andyxyz01]

Excellent performance, but I’m not sure if the choice of clothing was appropriate.

[@menghuattan3289]

The sound is terribly low force me to leave.
