For the people who don’t like Erhu, their major complain is about its sorrowful tune. Although you can play whatever music you want with erhu, lots of (maybe most) famous erhu pieces are about unhappy expression such as loneliness, homesickness, life difficulties, sufferings etc. (For example, the most famous erhu piece “Moon Reflected on Second Spring“). Honestly, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s about Chinese culture; maybe it’s inherited in the characteristics of erhu tunes. However, there IS one famous “HAPPY” erhu masterpiece “Horse Racing”. Composed by Huang Huai-Hai in 1964, this music made its debut that year on 4th “Spring of Shanghai” erhu solo contest and soon became famous national wide. This music describes the horse racing event in traditional Mongolian “Naadam Festival”. Its simple rhythm is based on a Mongolian folk song “Red Flag Song”. Inspired by the folk song, the composer Huang successfully expanded the original 16-bar music into an international-wide famous masterpiece.
Chinese music play by erhu shows how ancient silk and bamboo's sound resonate complicate human feelings. It is especially sad when you hear in the lonely darkness by country people. I am glad musicians playing in modern creative tune.
Because classical musicians are not meant to improvise. They are meant to play in orchestras, where they have to learn solo parts and sight read music, they are focused on interpreting the music, the phrasing, the tones, the ensemble playing. It's not a shame, if you want to see musicians improvise, it'd be more appropriate to listen to jazz.
@@jetons2582 It’s actually not uncommon to see improvisation in contemporary classical music. Also, examples of improvisation exist from the past as well (Bach improvising fugues, cadenzas in concertos being improvised)
+xandercorp Obviously I was being a little facetious, perhaps this was spur of the moment and there were no mic stands in the building (?) but the human mic stand's feelings on the music are irrelevant, human mic stand has but one purpose
When I lived in Chile and walking by Paseo Ahumada , there was this Chinese gentleman who stood every afternoon to play Erhu and this piece, it became a ritual for me to stay an extra hour just listening to him, I still keep the tape I bought before I left the country
Just watched Twosetviolin playing this instrument and this song an TH-cam suggested me this🤣🤣🤣 They play it beautifull. I guess he practiced 40 hours a day 😂😂
On one hand it's a bit creepy, on the other hand that seems to be a case of the algorithm doing what it's supposed instead of sending you to like, Elsa Spiderman Pregnant Finger Family or racism
Just like a horse race, he left the other in the dust, reaching towards greater heights, the other catching up just in time, to barely make it through the first lap
Magnifique ! Et cet instrument le erhu est incroyable, on a l'impression qu'il peut tout reproduire, les voix, les sons de la nature et jusqu'au bruissement de l'âme. Quel dommage que la musique chinoise et ses instruments traditionnels ne soient pas plus connus.
In my country, ehru mostly use in funeral. And for many years ago most of songs have ehru are sorrow and sad even it's performent for royal people. But hearing this make me see that I haven't discorver happy piece about this instrusment.
one of the few times I actually liked lang lang's playing. As an accompanist, he doesn't do all the unnecessary stuff he usually does and as a result sounds a whole lot better
The Chinese name of this piece of music is ”赛马“, which means "racing horse." Now we should understand more of the rhythm and pace instead of saying "what's wrong with the horse."
This instrument has such a beautiful tone!! Also there's something about this piece which I love so much but I can't explain it properly. Something like, whenever I see the piano or any western instrument doing a fusion with any traditional instrument, I never find those pieces interesting. They're always either really slow, just the piano place one chord and then the instrument does something interesting or maybe just plays a boring phrase. It just is really boring ninety-nine percent of the time, but this was just so beautiful. Kudos to both the performers and the composer.
@@Tymdek That was TERRIFIC. Thank you for sharing. Never knew I'll see a "string section" made up of ruans and pipas. There are so many instruments there which I don't know the name of. Do you have any resource where I can find out about those instruments?
@@amj.composerTo be honest I'm not sure. I don't know much about Chinese instruments, I just discovered this after TwoSet Violin made a video on the Erhu and I wanted to know more... But there is a "List of Chinese musical instruments" on Wikipedia, which I guess could be a start.
the guy's instrument that is not the piano, is called the erhu. my granfather makes them, but im note sure that he sells them or not. have to ask him. but he also plays it.
The Chinese guy did, listen to the one where Lang Lang played it with his dad, that is the original. This guy added a lot of personal element into this.
I'm almost more impressed by the human microphone squatting the whole piece. Give that man an applause.
It's not that hard?
its only 3 mins long...
@@soulofartorias9928 This started in 2011, that guy had been squatting for 8 years.
best seat in the house i'd hold the mic

You are so right...
I don't like erhu when I was a child, now I'm turning to 30 this year, I just can't stop listen to it.

Erhu is like chinese girl crying, Violin is like french girl crying.
Thank you for the explanation.
0:30 just looking over to check if the human microphone stand got his eye poked out by the bow
Omw😂
Can't you get that man a chair?
Lol!
Or how about get that mic a stand?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol
2:32 i think that's the imitation of the horse sound. So ingenious.
that is what the erhu is made to do
It is
th-cam.com/video/ke-tbqaB4fQ/w-d-xo.html this one makes clearer sounds
I love how the pianist is just having a blast the whole time.
+lithium135 Had never heard of him until I found this lol. I've seen some more of his stuff and now I understand.
+TA-20 Oh, you...
+TA-20 "The" pianist?????????????
!?!?!?!?!?!!??!
The other guy was having a great time, too. Even if his face didn't show it, I could feel it.
That Pianist is Maestro Lang Lang, you don't call him just that Pianist, it's LangLang!
I love to see Lang Lang improvising. It's a shame that we don't see many classical musicians do that nowadays

LMAO
He wanted the chance to see the performance up close, obviously. Nothing stupid about that.

Where’s your taste, man?
*TwoSet Violin* has bring me here!
Now I am happy!

I just watched an TwoSetViolin video about this song and I never imagined that it could be performed like this
i am here because of two set violin hehehehe
Alors Gaming same suddenly in my recommended 👍
No matter why this video come up in my page XD

Lang Lang was two letter off from being born a genius

I watch one TwosetViolin video about this instrument and wham. The TH-cam algorithm is whack.

Swans Listener omg I used to get those stuffs a lot back in the day ...
The look on langlangs face seeing the erhu playing. Priceless
Half the comments: twoset?
-sincerely twoset gang member
Erhu makes such beatifull sound
Just like a horse race, he left the other in the dust, reaching towards greater heights, the other catching up just in time, to barely make it through the first lap

Everyone: twoset??
Me: woow what kind of violin is that?? Jajajajajaja
I close my eyes and listen attentively to this piece that reminds me of Aaron Copland's The Rodeo. Wonderful.
Holy moly, their I dunno, musicality together, is amazing
Who got here after twosetviolin? I like how the video where's them practice erhu for 1 hour and already in grade 3 level of erhu players, nice tho'!
it sounds like they did a horse neighing at the end!
+Cathy Winters YES They did
You can make many animals sounds with the Erhu. He did that indeed. :)
yeah, thats supposed to be horse neighing.
@@yorganyog my favourite is mosquito
Who came from TwoSet?
Ling Ling approves
This infusion with the erhu is fantastic!
中國了不起，世界僅有的二胡，我現在每天晚上，聽著聽著就睡著了，真好不吃安眠藥了，謝謝
Horse Racing is the best song in the Erhu repertoire. I enjoyed this.
what a beautiful and cherful song
Lang refreshes ideas of great french musician Jean Michel Jarre....but this is more ORGANIC & BRILLIANT ! ! Thanks for uploading !
In my country, ehru mostly use in funeral. And for many years ago most of songs have ehru are sorrow and sad even it's performent for royal people. But hearing this make me see that I haven't discorver happy piece about this instrusment.
Ling-Ling has graced me with beautiful music
Yes, this is in my recommended after watching the TwoSet video too. Very cool performance!👏
Accidentally found this while looking for another song, so cool!
Lang Lang is having so much fun
i love how lang lang just absolutely enjoyes himself
Can't stop hearing Eddy's horse everytime I see an erhu 😹
Qué músicos más fantásticos. Excelente don en sus manos.
one of the few times I actually liked lang lang's playing. As an accompanist, he doesn't do all the unnecessary stuff he usually does and as a result sounds a whole lot better
Okay.. this is the best version yet, how did i just discover this.. I mean, all versions are Good but.. this F*ING ROCKS!!!
I really hope Lang Lang does more things like this.
Lang Lang's father did it better
I agree
No
I agree
I preferred that performance as well
He must be the famous Ling Ling
Twoset Violin keeps ranting about.
#lingling40hours

wow, amazing performance, very interesting instrument this erhu, and you can tell Guo Gan a master of it as any violin virtuoso.
That’s amazing erhu music
Incredible. Amazing. Love it.
Fantastic !
Awesome!
The Erhu is my favorite instrument
amazing got goose bumbs greeting from krakow :)
Bro, this sounds amazing
i want someone to look at me the way that pianist looks at the soloist
the guy's instrument that is not the piano, is called the erhu. my granfather makes them, but im note sure that he sells them or not. have to ask him. but he also plays it.
Oh! very beautiful BRAVO!!!!!
i'm pakistani and i quite like that A LOT!
i like how 100% of the comments are about twoset like people are dumbfounded that youtube would make that connection.
I've heard this song before but didnt know the name, now Twoset brings me this song again haha!
Lang Lang must have practiced 40 hours a day.
Valentina lisitza still outclasses him by far
@@Luke0193 are you dumb? He's taking about the person playing the erhu.
@@shirleyjiang5071 you should Google Lang Lang first
The Chinese guy did, listen to the one where Lang Lang played it with his dad, that is the original. This guy added a lot of personal element into this.
Where is the original?
Perfect duo 👌👌👌
Seeing a world class pianist as an accompanist to an instrument is just weird
Shows the true humility of a Chinese maestro…
That's sweet right there!!
Not here because of two set, TH-cam just decided its time to recommend this to me randomly
am I the only who completely lost it when I saw the man squatting down to hold a mic for the er hu
awesome
piano tiles! 😀
not bad combination,I like it !
I don't like anything much about Lang Lang, but this is good!
Wonderful!
You are so right..
4 people only dislike this because lang lang plays this
Singapore's Chinese Listening Comprehension examination brought me here.
When you're running away from a ghost but then the ghost found you

It really gives me those chinese music vibes. ;-)
this sounds universally great ;)
I already saw one comment saying they're from twoset.
Haha
excellent
Awesome.
見る度凄いなって思います…
とても好きです
BRAVO!
His father looks like he's gonna hurt Lang Lang after the show because he played the 59nd note on 1/10000 of a second to late
