Very nice! May I ask how long have you been playing and whether you're self taught or have a teacher? I notice your vibratos are quite abrupt, specifically many 吟's are played as 撞, especially apparent in the beginning. Also I think if you pluck slightly lighter and with slower speed on the 1st and 2nd 徽 harmonics it might turn out smoother, especially on your current recording apparatus. What piece are you learning now?
I have heard a few Gu Qin masters playing in Beijing, but few of them can grip the spirit of this miraculous instrument at the level Luca achieved. It demands one to be wholly dedicated, while still maintaining divided attention to achieve the state.
Guqin is not as common as Cello. Think about how many Chinese knows about Guqin. They always mis-took Guzheng as Guqin. For Cello - think about the number of people that can play and have the opportunities to learn. Anyhow, I do appreciate people who try to understand Chinese culture and put their efforts into learning our culture and history. I always give credits rather than critizing them.
"Think about how many Chinese knows about Guqin. They always mis-took Guzheng as Guqin." Very true, and some Chinese have even told me that the guqin isn't a Chinese instrument. And that is very sad.
Yes, it is much harder to play Guqin than Cello if you know playing cello and violin at all. Think about the number of Guqin vs cello instructors and the availablity.
弹的节奏似乎比他人弹的快了点， 是不是录音之后快放造成的二次录音效果？

Luca proved that music dosn't know boundary. I must say, your performance is better than many Chinese modern players.

Why amazed? Is it any more difficult for Luca Bonvini to play the qin than it is for Ma Yoyo to play the cello?

Now that you mention it, Encarta was the first time I heard the sound of the qin!
Whoa, the guy plays good. His fingerwork reminds me of LXT somehow...
