Chinese traditional musical instruments play Tchaikovsky Violin Con
Pretty amazing. I cannot imagine a 2 string erhu can match a 4 string violin. There must be some notes a erhu cannot reach where a violin can. The video was taken in what seems to me a basement. The orchestral music must be played from a CD. I thought he was a fraud. So I googled him and Wikipedia says he is for real. He is recognized and has been awarded a few times. He also works at Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music as a .... what else .... erhu instructor.
This most beautiful violin concerto composed by Tchaikovsky (first movement) was played by George Gao using Erhu (二胡） - a traditional Chinese musical instrument with 2 strings. This instrument, a member of the Hu Qin (胡琴） instrument family originated in a northern China ethnic minority tribe and became popular in Tang Dynasty (唐朝 600-900 AD).
By George, he's got it. Enjoy the music and his talent.
