[kwwkwwkww]

@BM80SGRP08

the name of the music in chinese is 二泉映月 or in english MOON REFLECTED IN ERQUAN

[BM80SGRP08]

@kwwkwwkww Thank you,it is a beautiful song

[straightarrow372]

This is very beautiful. I am amazed at how pleasant it is to listen to a single instrument, with no background or anything. She plays very movingly.

[foxish282]

i don't like her hair... it doesen't suit her.

[straightarrow372]

@foxish282 ? Now would you say that if a man were playing? Is her hair really the issue here?

[foxish282]

@straightarrow372 i would say the hair suited a man even less. love the music. never said i didnt. but every comment is omg its so beautifull its nice to get a wider range of opinions

[Greyhaeven]

@foxish282

How did you like her playing?

[kachailam]

Brilliant! Graceful! No doubt about it, Song Fei is the he best erhu player.

[CommunistSpartan]

This is wonderful. Now if she could perform it on a gaohu. IMO, it sounds better.

[henno147]

this is my favourite version of this song she is definately my favourite thanks so much!!!

[amigogoboy]

用來配苦情戲果然一流，光是聽到這演奏已經想哭。聽到我起疙瘩

[lomanchun]

In Chinese literature, river water is a symbol of time passes.

it can be interpreted as the "fairness of history"

[TheAtlius]

Not only this.

rivers are also the symbol of life, an eternal life who watch all seasons pass.....

Nothing hurt the river.....

[actin123]

a bit solitude inside.............

[foxish282]

@TheAtlius except maybe dams... and probly supernoave

[lomanchun]

Some Chinese musician said that this song should be moodless.

It emptys all the feelings, whether anger or sorrow.

[Sinexposer]

This is a very good Erhu Chinese music.

It makes us think of our past experiences.

[fransas]

very moving interpretation. beautiful, deep, touching, and yesm it would be hard to play that number with a stadivarius... Bravo!!

[percysong]

I am tearful....

[Aleeyawanis]

Who can translate, please?

[fransas]

the tune is called ''River''

By Wang shilu, Zhu Guangqing, Zhu Changan and Gu Xinshan. Expresses the suppressed anger and grief of a woman who lost her husband far away in service. Intro expresses the dark skies mingled with dark waters, first part ths lady tells her tale,second part she complains about injustice, the third part reflects violently her indomitable character. the whole song is about Chinese women strength to resist adversity.

[BM80SGRP08]

@fransas Ah,the "Er Hu" ,an instrument that can bring out both melancholy and happy feelings at once.I do believe this was the song played at my Sifu's funeral,I believe the song was called "The Running River of Sorrow"

Would this song be played at a funeral?

It was sad but at the same time provided comfort

[SamerliteWater]

She is number one erhu player in the world. Met her once when she performed in Canada once.

[SamerliteWater]

I think a better translation would be "Tears of the River"

[Jozgu]

RIVER OF SORROW

[thegreatkoua]

i was happy. now this music make me sad.

[shevchenko0609]

This Sounds So Sad, Like I Feel Sad Just Listening But A Happy Sadness, My Soul Is Touched By This Music. I Feel The Music In My Heart. I Actually Get Tears In My Eyes When I Hear This Instrument.

[K1Bear]
