This is a fine rendition of the YRC. I've just come back from Beijing and heard it twice at the NCPA there. Chinese audiences love it! One performance was with a "Chinese" orchestra rather than a Western orchestra: the traditional instruments give a whole new dimension of tonecolour to the concerto and make the last mvmt especially more exciting.
@edgey4u that's because chinese music is almost exactly what you think of it as. It's pentatonic (well, we have micro-tones, but since this is written in western notation, no micro tones) and it's asian, congratulations sherlock.
I have just discovered this piece and played Nadia's rendition first 4 movements. A great performance! That said, this concerto's parts are greater than its sum. To me it comes across as a hodge-podge of beautiful vignettes that left me unsatisfied overall. Not much Chinese about it really - sort of reminds me of the old stereotype of Japan/China stealing parts from the West and gluing tham together to make something to hang their flag on.
This is the first time I heard this concerto spiritually performed by Jewish musicians with eternal beauty.
Tse Tse !
