For the people who don’t like Erhu, their major complain is about its sorrowful tune. Although you can play whatever music you want with erhu, lots of (maybe most) famous erhu pieces are about unhappy expression such as loneliness, homesickness, life difficulties, sufferings etc. (For example, the most famous erhu piece “Moon Reflected on Second Spring“). Honestly, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s about Chinese culture; maybe it’s inherited in the characteristics of erhu tunes. However, there IS one famous “HAPPY” erhu masterpiece “Horse Racing”. Composed by Huang Huai-Hai in 1964, this music made its debut that year on 4th “Spring of Shanghai” erhu solo contest and soon became famous national wide. This music describes the horse racing event in traditional Mongolian “Naadam Festival”. Its simple rhythm is based on a Mongolian folk song “Red Flag Song”. Inspired by the folk song, the composer Huang successfully expanded the original 16-bar music into an international-wide famous masterpiece.

Chinese music play by erhu shows how ancient silk and bamboo's sound resonate complicate human feelings. It is especially sad when you hear in the lonely darkness by country people. I am glad musicians playing in modern creative tune.

@jetons2582

Because classical musicians are not meant to improvise. They are meant to play in orchestras, where they have to learn solo parts and sight read music, they are focused on interpreting the music, the phrasing, the tones, the ensemble playing. It's not a shame, if you want to see musicians improvise, it'd be more appropriate to listen to jazz.

Magnifique ! Et cet instrument le erhu est incroyable, on a l'impression qu'il peut tout reproduire, les voix, les sons de la nature et jusqu'au bruissement de l'âme. Quel dommage que la musique chinoise et ses instruments traditionnels ne soient pas plus connus.
Half the comments: twoset? -sincerely twoset gang member
Who got here after twosetviolin? I like how the video where's them practice erhu for 1 hour and already in grade 3 level of erhu players, nice tho'!
Qué músicos más fantásticos. Excelente don en sus manos.
In my country, ehru mostly use in funeral. And for many years ago most of songs have ehru are sorrow and sad even it's performent for royal people. But hearing this make me see that I haven't discorver happy piece about this instrusment.
This infusion with the erhu is fantastic!
Lang Lang is having so much fun
what a beautiful and cherful song
中國了不起,世界僅有的二胡,我現在每天晚上,聽著聽著就睡著了,真好不吃安眠藥了,謝謝
Holy moly, their I dunno, musicality together, is amazing
one of the few times I actually liked lang lang's playing. As an accompanist, he doesn't do all the unnecessary stuff he usually does and as a result sounds a whole lot better
Horse Racing is the best song in the Erhu repertoire. I enjoyed this.
this is such a fun song
Everyone: twoset?? Me: woow what kind of violin is that?? Jajajajajaja
Can't stop hearing Eddy's horse everytime I see an erhu 😹
Lang refreshes ideas of great french musician Jean Michel Jarre....but this is more ORGANIC & BRILLIANT ! ! Thanks for uploading !
Ling-Ling has graced me with beautiful music
Okay.. this is the best version yet, how did i just discover this.. I mean, all versions are Good but.. this F*ING ROCKS!!!
i love how lang lang just absolutely enjoyes himself
The Erhu is my favorite instrument
I really hope Lang Lang does more things like this.
Damn that was crazy playing erhu player 😍

This is really amazing!!!!
This instrument has such a beautiful tone!! Also there's something about this piece which I love so much but I can't explain it properly. Something like, whenever I see the piano or any western instrument doing a fusion with any traditional instrument, I never find those pieces interesting. They're always either really slow, just the piano place one chord and then the instrument does something interesting or maybe just plays a boring phrase. It just is really boring ninety-nine percent of the time, but this was just so beautiful. Kudos to both the performers and the composer.

amazing got goose bumbs greeting from krakow :)
The Chinese name of this piece of music is ”赛马“, which means "racing horse." Now we should understand more of the rhythm and pace instead of saying "what's wrong with the horse."
The Chinese guy did, listen to the one where Lang Lang played it with his dad, that is the original. This guy added a lot of personal element into this.
