The Erhu produces a rather melancholy sound. It can be very moving. However, from time to time the player must play some cheerful tunes - otherwise they risk negative psychological impact - chronic depression. Hopefully composers can create more cheerful upbeat tunes for this instrument.
@stanbimi, FYI, the composer of this song lost his sight (blind), name as Ah Bing. Yet he is a great musician. This song was composed during his saddest years in Wuxi, China and during the world war II. You know at those years, China was weak and bullied by foreign countries, thus maybe musics were sad.
On the other hand, the modern Erhu band such as 12 Girls Band turn this over and really put Chinese instruments easily accepted by foreigners. Try it and you'll love them too.
thanks to Youtube and aohu 43, I can get to watch this marvellous high class performance in Vienna of my favourite chinese classical piece in the comfort of my home.
五千年文化的沉淀,孕育出博大精深自成一体的中华民乐,是人类音乐的一重要部分。伟哉! 美哉! a small part of five thousand years' historical cultural deposit. beautiful!

Chuakinteak阿炳的原音已可以在youtube下載。
這版本太做作,奏不出阿炳原音的神韻。

@jc2kk01 團體演奏必須注重和諧度,中西方互相靠攏又不感覺突兀非常不容易,這個版本我個人認為是聽過最有水準的。要突破原創者真的不容易,老一輩的京劇迷聽慣了各派大師原音,大都不大能接受現代演唱家的詮釋方式,我想好壞全在聽的人的耳朵吧。

@alabonga 音樂無國界,音樂本身無絕對的標準,端在演奏者的詮釋,和聽眾主觀的感覺,音樂藝術是作曲家透過音樂來表達內心深處感情的傾訴,或是對外在事物認識的內在反映.中西音樂最明顯得差異;西方音樂較直接熱情奔放,喜怒哀樂較明顯.中國音樂較含蓄,給人有拐彎摸角喜怒哀樂都表現得很含蓄的感覺,音樂中最大的特色就是有一份哀怨淒涼的美.這與中西文化的差異有很大的關係.久聽古典音樂,深感西方音樂已走過高峰,現代音樂顯出現代人的煩燥和叛逆.打破音樂的三大要素.而中國音樂久遠長流,透過西洋音樂作曲的技巧,將中國音樂不斷地擴延,並推向世界舞台,似乎是必然的趨勢!民族音樂永遠是受人喜愛的.東西皆然,因為它與民族感情緊緊相連.音樂是人類文化最寶貴的資產,只要人類存在,它是永遠不會消失的!

@stevenchaomusic 您前半段就中西文化與樂器差異部分所說的我非常贊同。其實交響樂、京劇(地方戲曲)、國樂都已走過高峰,喜愛的只剩一小撮的觀眾,雖不會消失,但若沒有政府支撐早就更加落沒。中國音樂要走向世界舞台並不容易,民族音樂要成為主流那更是難上加難。要讓中國音樂被廣泛接受,必須要讓世界先不排華;要先接受中國人,才能接受音樂的內涵,我們離這一天還很遠...
流行音樂之所以受歡迎,其中一個主要原因是因為歌詞貼近生活,傳統音樂與戲曲離人們太遠太遠了。

我与jiqin814同感,还是王国潼的二泉映月最接近阿炳原创。

这段二胡起头很悲,可到后来越听越有唯美的味道了,所以我觉得演奏者虽然技艺高超感情浓郁,但没有拉出这首曲子应有的悲凉潦倒

谁料想,皂履云邅,道乐飘仙。
更曾经,翩翩少年,琴箫罄观。
是观主,十方香客,弦奏烟漫。
鹤亮翅,丹炉八音,太极变幻。
幻生变,指赌弓弦,长街琴唤。
曰二泉,乐极生悲,曲舍心丹。
