yet another performance

[Blue]

Looks like in a couple of hours, I'll be posting youtube videos of yet another concert that I watched the previous day . . . . . . . .

Where did this concert take place?

[Blue]

This concert is in Taipei.

Here's Por Una Cabeza
Maybe we should hire them to play this in the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong in the unlikely event that I have afternoon tea with a dizi playing friend again:


Then there's España Cañi, where the Sheng instrument really shines:


Here on the left is Wolfgang Wendel, a flute player hailing from Germany. Curiously, his brother operates a German restaurant chain in Taipei, with the main restaurant in Tienmu having Oktoberfest for several weeks, although Zum Fass on Linsen North Road is said to have better pork knuckles (oops: I'm digressing)

That is an odd arrangement of Por Una Cabeza. The rhythm does not feel true to Tango.

I like this one:

Por Una Cabeza - erhu, trumpet, horn

I like the third clip though. Looks like a lot of fun.

Best wishes,

David

I do feel that an erhu is mandatory for Por Una Cabeza.

I'll post recordings for the other performances in the mini-concert later. There's Tanti Anni Prima totally performed using a xiao, Hasta Morir, Chiquilin de Bachin, and quite a few Chinese songs.

Unfortunately I didn't record the part where the musicians become a little violent with the cello , pipa, and yangqin players knocking their hands or hammers on the wooden part of their instruments and another part where the yangqin player hammers the yangqin strings like Don Music hammers his head on the piano in Sesame Street.

Here's 踏青
Sounds like a horse galloping . . . . . . . .
