No kidding, wow! The way the eastern and western instruments work together along with an AMAZING solo...bits have the energy of Hendrix, don't they?? But even more texture and emotion over the whole. Again, wow...fantastic, thank you so much for posting this.
This is outstanding. So interesting for me as a heavy metal guitarist, lots of pentatonic runs and power chords going on but obviously a very different setting! Can anyone name the soloist? I'd love to check out more of her performances, particularly any unaccompanied pieces...
Her name is Dabby Pan (潘宜彤), she joins at least 2 groups to have music tours all over the world every year. Here is her FB: facebook.com/tongtong.pan.1?fref=ts btw,She's the best Ruan performer in TW.
UKISOCIETY No, but soon i believe. Here is the chamber called "Moving Sound" she joins in TW: facebook.com/amovingsound.taiwan and the music salon in Shanghai www.bandumusic.com/en/index.htm You could ask them if any chances to have performance in UK. btw, she plays Ukulele as well.
Thank you for her name! Now I can tell her, that she is really really so extremly good. May be the best of TW. And one can see that she lives the music with each part of her body.
Spectacular. I just bought a zhongruan on a recent trip to Hong Kong. So, I'm looking for all information, music and videos of the instrument. This is a really unbelievable performance.
Thank you @UCc9Tx2ElFOXffDR-TOPtWRw (see below!): It's a Zhong Ruan(中阮) concerto, entitled "Reminiscences of Yunnan"(雲南回憶),and composed by Liu Xing(劉星).

Excellent performance. The piece is very modern and exciting, especially the zhongruan solos. Who are the performers? It's nice to see not one, but two "da paisheng" (although it's such a crazy instrument).
@Temanilove yes, and that zhongruan is known as the " ruan shi chun " and so far i've only seen hong kong zhongruan musicians use it. i was interested in getting one by didnt have enough info by then.

Many, many thanks! I shall set about getting hold of a copy of this music. I feel so embarrassed at being so ignorant of Chinese classical music but will take steps to rectify this unfortunate state of affairs, I also like the actual instrument which the artist is playing and will see if I can get hold of one for myself. Very Best Wishes!!!
The composer LIU Xing himself has made a record of this concerto in 1993, and was published by Hugo Productions of Hong Kong. The CD is still available (because it is very popular and was re-released again and again).
En effet l'instrument semble avoir la tète coupée. De plus c'est un mixte entre la guitare européenne (frettes et pont de touche) et l'instrument traditionnel chinois.(clés de tension et cordes ainsi que la forme générale). eul' riolu
特别好！可是，我觉得弄响一点儿会更好。 No western instruments were used in the making of this song. The basses and cellos are the same in every way except shape in both cultures.
From left to right: tenor sheng, alto sheng and soprano sheng There is no bass sheng in this video, The bass sheng is bigger and normally requires the player to hug it while playing.
Matt Goode Whoops I think I was wrong on the translation. My apologies. They maybe called 'Diyin Sheng', or 'Cizhongyin Sheng' in Chinese. Search that for (maybe) better results.
+tpcksh323 Thank you! With that information I was able to locate an MP3 of the entire piece: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S994RI/ I don't know if it's available on CD, but this will do for a start. Very nice composition, and impressive soloist.
+fartwrangler The members of the concert are from the department of Chinese music of Tainan National University of the Arts. Here's the soloist's facebook, facebook.com/tongtong.pan.1. They don't publish the video record or audio of the concerts based on the webpage of the department. However, the mp3 you found are not produced by the department,.
+tpcksh323 Thanks again. I love the instrumentation and the composition; would like to find more works by this composer. As regards the mp3's -- since Amazon is charging money for these, I hope some of that is going to support the University and/or the performers! If not, it should be.
You may search for Hong Kong Hugo Company, which the composer LIU Xing himself, who is also a great Ruan master, has recorded this piece in 1993. This CD is still available (re-produce again and again). I think LIU Xing's version is better than anyone.
Whew! So glad I was able to find this again.
這是我在網路這麼多版裡面看過最棒的!
超完美
老師~真的太帥了
完美的演繹！精彩！
超级一流！❤
快到一個極點
All I can say, is OUTSTANDING! Bravo!
Ruan might be the most accessible way to get western musicians playing along. It really does have a rock or heavy metal sensibility in many songs.
哈哈，我有刘星的所有专辑，还有一张和俄罗斯国家管弦乐团合作的云南回忆，我最喜欢的是“湖”“一意孤行”专辑。
ab-so-lute-ly breathtaking !!! HATS OFF !!!!!! Bravo !!!!
太厲害了!!好棒!!!
好棒 ，值得收藏.
This is so CRAZY !!
A feast to the ears !
Thank you for sharing! This energetic and beautifully performance! The solist woman dominates the instrument with masterfully !
好棒啊！

@mtmt88 In fact, this piece of work was composed by the composer "劉星" (Liu, Xing) of China.
百聽不厭~~>_
A tinge of minimalism
好耶！
阮的声音跟吉他真像。闭上眼听就跟吉他一样
高水準演出

Wow.....
I like
💯💯❤
Excellent performance. The piece is very modern and exciting, especially the zhongruan solos.
Who are the performers?
It's nice to see not one, but two "da paisheng" (although it's such a crazy instrument).
6:50 The METAL begins XD

Ya
They are the students of music school, so we can not compare ourselves with them. To play well is their profession.
Thank you all tem sup..........!
潘宜彤大師級
Man! I wanna go to a musical concert! Where Asian people play at! For theyre the best in the world! >.
@Temanilove yes, and that zhongruan is known as the " ruan shi chun " and so far i've only seen hong kong zhongruan musicians use it. i was interested in getting one by didnt have enough info by then.
叹为观止
Absolutely MARVELLOUS!!!!!

Muy bueno (Y)
I also love Metallica
劲 ！！！！
那把中阮快邊變成另外一種琴惹啦😭
簡暐哲 本來中阮就是發展的這樣，作曲家是把中阮發展到淋漓盡致而不是把中阮變成另種琴
那你對中阮的認識太少了，樂團裡中阮都是伴奏為主，沒有太大難度，獨奏的技巧就多了
what a stunningly attractive woman
En effet l'instrument semble avoir la tète coupée. De plus c'est un mixte entre la guitare européenne (frettes et pont de touche) et l'instrument traditionnel chinois.(clés de tension et cordes ainsi que la forme générale).

She is outstanding. Is she from Taiwan and does she make her living exclusively as a zhongruan soloist?
She is from Taiwan
its in gdgd tuning

田馥甄 我不知道風是在那一個方向吹
@linanqikiki I wouldn't be suprised, most of them probably started playing when they were 2 :)
特别好！可是，我觉得弄响一点儿会更好。
No western instruments were used in the making of this song. The basses and cellos are the same in every way except shape in both cultures.
pity the video is slightly off sync but still
5stars!
The 2 pipe organ like instruments in close up around 4'30, are they some kind of bass sheng?
From left to right:
tenor sheng, alto sheng and soprano sheng
There is no bass sheng in this video,
The bass sheng is bigger and normally requires the player to hug it while playing.
Ong Zhi Yang i think u meant baritone sheng
Natheniel Becken
I can't find a source that refers to it as baritone sheng.
Matt Goode Whoops I think I was wrong on the translation. My apologies. They maybe called 'Diyin Sheng', or 'Cizhongyin Sheng' in Chinese. Search that for (maybe) better results.
Matt Goode BTW 'diyin' is Chinese for 'bass', and 'cizhongyin' for tenor.
加油, 才學一年還有更牛的你還沒看過
Please tell me where can I find 更牛的?
Polar Bear 作曲家劉星自己演奏的，雨果唱片公司
@spinblast no... the ruan head isnt broken
Can you please tell us the name of this zhongruan soloist?
潘宜彤

Ritchie Blackmore, is that you?
Wow. Where can I get a CD of this?
Would someone transliterate the title, composer, and soloist names for an English speaker, please?TIA.

Is this ruan in cello tuning or something different?
Ruan is GDGD, but cello is CGDA
@linanqikiki
Hahah..yeah, make you like forget about music i wont get on these level the next 10 years damit
这是把阮当吉他弹啊~~
conney408 中阮跟吉他是不同的，這是中阮的特色，是吉他根本做不到的，中阮是難多了
