- powerful playing, excellent musicality - dramatic and emotional: "The Ambush from all sides" (中国传统音乐经典琵琶名曲 《十面埋伏》), is undoubtedly the most famous pipa master piece from the Chinese traditional repertoire, performed by virtuoso soloist Liu Fang （劉芳）during a solo recital in the Pierre-Mercurre Hall of the Centre Pierre-Peladeau, on March 27, 2002, in Montreal, recorded by Mr. Zhou Fan of Montreal Multi-cultural TV, Chinese chanel.
Pipa is a Chinese traditional music instrument with over 2000 years of history. The "Ambush from ten side" is one of the most famous classical instrumental music of China.
With its highly virtuoso programmatic effects and tremendous power, this piece is regarded as the most representative of the "martial repertoire" of classical pipa solo. It describes the glorious victory of Liu Bang over Xiang Yu in 202 BC, the same theme as "The King doffs his Armour", however, from a totally different view point. There is no information about the composer, but some researches indicate that this piece might be dated back as early as the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-917AD).
L'Embuscade (tradition classique) -
Cette pièce très ancienne, considérée comme emblématique de la musique du répertoire martial wu pour pipa, décrit la victoire de larmée Han de Liu Bang sur Xiang Yu en 202 avant J-C. Il sagit de lépisode historique qui fait suite à la pièce épique Bawang xiejia « Le Roi de Chu se défait de son armure » : on assiste maintenant à laffrontement des deux armées et à la bataille. Le pipa, ici dans son rôle dinstrument daccompagnement dun récit épique, évoque, par des accords et bruitages particuliers, le heurt des épées, le choc des cuirasses, la mêlée des chevaux, les cris et clameurs des combattants, etc. Linterprétation exige une grande virtuosité et une maîtrise des techniques de jeu liées à ce répertoire épique, plein deffets sonores spéciaux.
música china instrumental de la tradición clásica para solistas pipa: estilo marcial - que describe la guerra y las escenas dramáticas, potente y elegante con las técnicas de virtuoso. Esto está en contraste con el estilo lírico (o de carácter civil), del repertorio tradicional para solo de pipa. Pipa es conocida como laúd chino o guitarra.

Mit seinen höchst virtuosen programmatischen Effekten und der enormen Kraft wird dieses Solostück als das repräsentativste des „martialischen Repertoires" für die Pipa angesehen. Es beschreibt den glorreichen Sieg von Liu Bang über Xiang Yu im Jahr 202 v.u.Z. -- das gleiche Thema wie in „The King doffs his Armour", wenngleich von einem komplett anderen Standpunkt.

I remember back in 1974 when China sent over musicians to Canada and I watched it on national TV one evening, I was a studying student-teacher at that time and next morning the children talked about what they saw, and were impressed with music coming from "unknown" instruments, and I believe one of the performances included this music.
I find a friend says like this: "One thing I have noticed is that the movements and facial expressions are too exaggerated, a deviation from the traditional elegant movements that a traditional Chinese instrument performer will display"
I just want to clarify that actually Pipa's music has two kinds. First is the graceful and slow song which expresses the beauty of nature and people's exquisite emotion.This sort of music is always quite and elegant. The other one is always intense, performing with strength and exaggeration and mainly talks about the war, just like this piece of music. This is definitely Chinese traditional music. :-D
Thank you Selina for letting me know.
I'm a brit who knows nothing about Chinese music; I heard a busker playing a pipa in my town today and so this my first taste. It's beautiful!
I'm going to be spending a happy while exploring, so any background is interesting.
Cheers
Hi Stevie, glad you like it, there are others chinese instruments like pipa, guqin, guzheng, erhu. you can have a try.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look forward to listening to these.
Selina Liu ha you pinned her
Not just war but honor.... i play for honor.
This is one of the most famous traditional piece. We don't know who conposed it, but one thing for sure: it is old than Bach, the father of western classical music. Some researchers think that it is originated from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618 - 917 AD). This is just the martial style. There are other lyrical styles if you check other videos.
phil manage i thought wang youding composed it? i want to know more but different sources are telling me different things😭
Certainly nobody considers Bach the father of Western classical music, there is no such figure.
I'd take these ideas of older versus younger with a grain of salt. Remember all the nonsense about the 5,000-year-old culture of China, when there's no evidence of such until about 1250 BCE, roughly in line with the rise of Hinduism, early versions of the first works of the Western Biblical canon, etc. This is all just cultural propaganda that appears everywhere.
The East in general and China in particular have much culture of which to be understandably proud. Classical music compared with the West's, however, is not such strong ground.
@@TheScottEF It seems to me that you might have been influenced by eurocentricism, and you might be searching for defining characteristics of western classical musical in Chinese classical music. That would be very stupid. These two have fundamental differences, in what it values and what it pursues, and you were comparing apples to oranges when you said Chinese classical music, compare d to western classical music, is not such strong ground.
You simply lack the knowledge on Chinese music to understand its value and you lack the respect and curiousity that enables you to dive deeper on the subject. Just want you to be aware.
@@TheScottEF 3)hinduism: hindus mostly are vegetarians just like budhism. They try not to eat any kind of meat and believes in re-incarnation.but when you ask them who created this world and they won't have a clue. But again from this verse Romans 1:20-21 KJV For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.) We understood that all living things are created by GOD and if GOD wants us to be vegetarians ,why would HE create carnivors like lions and tigers that preys on other animals but still emphasis that we must not kill for food?before Adam sinned humans ate fruits but after sinned ,they start to eat meat. So the beliefs of hinduism doesn't lead you to the CREATOR because many lifeform need to survive on others as their food source so if the CREATOR emphasis so much on being a vegetarian ,why would HE create animals that depends on other animals as their only food source?
God she is so amazing. She is so intimate with her instrument that she conveys a flood of emotion with her music, and it is just amazing.
琴藝精湛，氣勢不凡，人琴合一。
The music matches the title perfectly. When I close my eyes I feel the desperation and valor of the person ambushed and surrounded! Beautiful!
its like the romance between the instrument and the musician being expressed through waves of sound
The music as a whole can be divided into three parts, consisting of thirteen paragraphs with subtitles, namely: Column Camp, Blow, Point General, Lineup, Line, Ambush, Jiming Mountain Battle, Jiulishan Battle, Xiang The king lost the battle, Wujiang squatted himself （Xiang the King）, the enemy army played triumph, the enemy generals fought for merit and returned to the camp with victory. The story is based on the historical facts of the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu Gaixia in 202 BC, and depicts the fierce war scenes in the form of title music. The Pipa Miss Liufang played was focus on Xiang the King at his last stage of his life and Miss liufang played the music with very strong emotion which beyond the meaning of the words.
i think you enumerated like 20 parts
聽劉芳彈的琵琶是一種至佳的享受!!
Liu is an absolute master of the Pipa! The clarity of her performance is technically breathtaking! Our blessings and love to her for all her hard work in preserving the traditional music of China.
我從未聽過如此美妙的音樂！
:這是我聽過十面埋伏，最棒的一位，琶瑟演奏家。老師我欣賞您，給您一佰個讚。
Yea
Simply amazing. I close my eyes and I imagine "The Ambush" taking place as Liu Fang strums her Pipa. Just amazing, I can't believe that there are 15 people who "disliked" the video.. that's crazy! If Liu Fang were ever to play in where I live, near Boston, I would certainly go to see her play. I have seen her play the Guzheng too and she is very adept at that instrument as well.
A+ and 5-Stars to Liu Fang!!!
聽她彈奏完，有種恐怖的感覺。
這首曲子殺氣騰騰，誰知道他彈完站起來之後仍面帶微笑，十足的殺手樣。
我的意思是真的彈的很棒啦，尤其是結束後鞠躬前的那傾城微笑，彷彿像是戰勝了十面而來的埋伏，帶著得意的笑容走出戰場。
So awesome !!!
She single handedly fought the ambush brilliantly........I feel so humble!
Seems like her amazing playing skills made the audience ill. Those poor, coughing people in the background... Her flow is too sick!!
Beautifully intense performance.
I know you can't help these things but yeh...it always makes a me a little bit mad XD This stuff is so entrancing --fidgeting, coughing, sniffling and what have you...are all signs you're not really fully within the experience
If know the background story of this music, you will feel that it is an outstanding performance. I hope there is an English version of the stroy so that all people can read it.
非常感謝, 太好聽了! 我聽了很多不同人的表演, 刘小姐的我觉得最好聽, 很有力度!
ua-cam.com/video/1Rx5uqX4mBA/v-deo.html 刘芳弹得非常棒! 但是十面埋伏这首曲子演奏的最好的还应该是刘德海大师。
I like the music and the pipa is a new instrument that I had not seen before. I like that the music of China has no words and it can be dramatic or calm. I also find the quin and yayue to be interesting instruments.
its very pleasent to listen ,but how could some people without understanding the actual deep intention of this music make a illiterate ,geeky ,immature comments ,its a shame on those who post such childish comments thankyou!!! i like this music whole heartedly its very best of music
I am just fascinated by huge difference between european and asian plucked strings instruments. Different style, different hand moves, different mood .... the music in the video absolutely amazes me with the intensity. So full of energy and dramatic, loved that.
J'ai regardé plusieurs autres vidéos avant celle ci, jme suis dis qu'avec mes connaissances en guitare je pouvais faire pareille, un peu plus grossièrement, mais sur cette vidéo là c'est clair que non, là y'a une maîtrise dont je n'ai pas une once ( je joue du metal/stoner, on est assez loin du classique full doigts ). Je pense pouvoir faire des choses avec un Bipa mais ça, clairement, non. Même en 17 ans de pratique y'a trop de choses à voir et apprendre qui demanderait 10 ans de pratique en plus uniquement dans ce domaine. Comme c'est un live dans un style bien particulier, je ne saurais parler de fausses notes, même si par moment j'ai eu l'impression, mais l'instrument et le style fait que c'est difficile de savoir.
Merci les Manwha de m'avoir fait découvrir cet instrument, c'est pour ça que je me retrouve ici, pour connaître le son de cet instrument.
她的演奏和肢體語言無不令人折服!!!! 大師風範!!!
一开场就满是纵横天地间的杀伐之气。其实十面埋伏我只喜欢开场（。
我也是
你们的人生路途应该是没经历过什么险境才会喜欢开场而已...

Fantastic playing of a equally fantastic piece, delivered with correct surprise and mood wanted by the composer. 10/10!
you can visualize Xiang Yu fighting valiantly against thousands of enemies.
Jana roa There are two legendary pieces about this story, one (in the video) is called “The Ambush” from the Han perspective, which is filled with suspense, fierce battles and ultimately victory. while the other is called the “Conqueror Disarms” which is from Xiang Yu’s perspective. The latter is more melancholic.
The pipa in the early Tang Dynasty (618-917AD) was played with a plectrum, as the Japanese Biwa today. In the later Tang Dynasty some masters began to use fingernails and soon this has became the main streem till today (only Nan Guan pipa still uses plectrum). ====>>>

Wow! This performance is powerful. My heart was racing when I listened to this. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
truly...the empress of pipa...Nice sound and very energetic...Great!!
个人很喜欢这版，非常紧凑而不失细节，节奏很棒，最后的表现也很到位👍
I'm actually learning to play this on my pipa right now and it's SO FRIGGIN HARD T^T
FYI we play with fake nails taped around our fingers
All instruments that you fingerpick fast on use fake nails
Try growing your nails or use glue-on nails or use finger picks like she does (and everybody else does, too)..
My hands hurts from watching this and I don't even play the pipa my friend does but she is a total beginner
Son Of Bun Not guqin though 😏
Eliezer Pennywhistler she is using tape on nails too lol
嚇的有點起雞皮疙瘩了...尤其一開始那個廝殺前的氣氛......聽過就永遠忘不掉。
Awesome performance ! Really can feel the suspense of the ambush and the later part, soldiers slashing the weapons at each other.
Magnificent performance, make my heart skip a beat.
This is one musical performance that really deserves to be seen and heard at the same time. An audio CD simply would not do it justice.
Very sensitive and creative videography.
my breath was taken away by the fingers movements and the intensity of the performance. FANTASTIC!!!
聽劉芳彈的琵琶是一種至佳的享受
Wow! This is truly amazing! Never heard anything better, very powerful! And yes, when I closed my eyes I could actually imagine that ambush. The way she performed it - incredible!
Beautiful! She is so passionate ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I love the energy and love she puts into the music !!! She is the best , I see her emotions are true to her heart!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song may not be to my taste, but this girl is really playing it MUCH BETTER than the first version of it I had heard.
Miss, you are a very skillful player!
Ese trémolo Dios mío!!!!!! esto es virtuosismo puro
She is a master in pipa. Absolutely fantastic. thank you very much.
I can't wait to get my hands on this beautiful instrument! :)

I have a pipa :D
I shed tears when listening to this. Don't know why.
This traditional music it my FAVORITE!it give off abit of japanese vibes too,when the Japanese uses their Kanata swords 0:00 -1:02
it must feel good when you have ability to dress your emotions in such a beautiful thing as music. Amazing!
So ethereal!! I don't have good enough adjectives to describe a masterpiece!
The awesome force of this performance ambushed me .......
好
This song isn't MEANT to be boring and with a steady rhythm. It's called ambush from all sides. Like I said, it tells a story. It's meant to portray the chaos of an ambush. Close your eyes and pretend you're watching a scene from a film and the music will tell you a story.
I'm a white-hispanic American and even I can see this. I don't even know the context of the song, if it's inspired by a specific event, or anything like that.
Awesome talent ! Thanks so much
her music is so intense the cameraman almost forgot he was holding the camera...
しびれる❗カッコいい
This is an ancient piece with the theme of an epic moment of Chinese history: the last battle of founding of Han empire(the empire that gives the name of the Chinese majority Han ethnic). When the rival Noble Chu army and its King Xiangyu,once most powerful war hero in China was ambushed in all sides by the peasant formed Han army who are singing his Chu native songs(a signal that most of his fellow country men are no on the enemy side). He sang the farewell song to his lover and killed himself… and thus the birth of one of the greatest empire of China out of death of its hero enemy.
She's an amazing musician!
The composer must be in " The ambush" and would have had some other great composers which had been lost .
That blast beat at the end rocked !!!!!
GOSH!!! you're the reason why i start to play a pipa!!
Beautifully played
Honestly I watch her live!!
Awesome artisti, love this instrument, greetings from Italy
An 'ambush' indeed. FANTASTIC!
今天又再欣賞一次！
the part at 45 sec. to about 55 is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
Today, I enjoyed to listen this play again. Super skill.
Just listening to this I'm envisioning being alone and desperate fighting for my life! Truly magical and inspiring! Thank you!
...extraordinary...bravo...unique...
I LOVED IT!
wenn Leidenschaft,Emotionen und Instrument miteinander verschmelzen =) großartig
She actually improvised the play and it was more obviously done from @2:40 onwards. Bravo - a Maestro's performance!
I've watched other pipa players, even masters, and the one thing that misses out is the "love" between them and the instrument. I love the way she holds it so close to her face and even closes her eyes at some points. Most other players usually have an impersonality to the way they hold it. Its more of a lover than an instrument to her ... at last thats how it looks from here :)
Beautiful!!
Beautiful music solo. It inspires me.
This is beautiful!
Marvelous. Incredible playing.
Just it.
traditional song that was used in Kung Fu Hustle.
And don't forget "The House of Flying Daggers". Actually, the original title of that movie is "十面埋伏", what means "Ambush from ten sides".
Nah, it's another piece called 春江花月夜，kinda means moon night on a river.
this is gifted talent - beautiful piece...thanks for uploading.
Chinese traditional music (classical styles like this) is basically an oral tradition from generation to generation (from masters to students) for hundreds and even thousand years, even before the music notations were invented. One needs a teacher even when there is a score, because not every thing can be noted. Musicians may develop their own styles, but the music note (the sound) has been the same from its creation, that is, played exactly in the way they were taught.

I'd take these ideas of "an oral [music] tradition ...for ... even thousand years" with a grain of salt. Remember all the nonsense about the 5,000-year-old culture of China, when there's no evidence of such until about 1250 BCE, roughly in line with the rise of Hinduism, early versions of the first works of the Western Biblical canon, etc. This is all just cultural propaganda that appears everywhere.
@@TheScottEF Even if it's hyperbolized often, that doesn't make it not old. Even by the estimate you gave, that still makes Chinese civilization about 3270 years old. As far as cultures go, that's not too shabby.
@@TheScottEF first i am a chinese. Yes chinese history is roughly as old or older than jewish history and has its roots dates back to the decendants of noah's ark.Just look at the chinese words and their meanings and you will understand . For alot of westerners that adopts chinese mysticism and hinduism or have experienced miracles let me tell you this ,they came from the power of satan and demons. The real truth was already been found and received by your forefathers and yet you westerners was startled by foreign culture and pagan practices . First let me summarized the lies that westerners like to embrace .1).Evolution :For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:20-21 KJV .
GOD'S creation is clearly seen by HIS creation.Just look at all the creatures,nomatter how different their outlook, they still retain the same design concepts of two eyes which the Creator God gave them so that they could see and find food .
@@TheScottEF 2)buddhism : many have said that buddhism came earlier than Christianity and yes it did. But that doesn't mean it is the truth. Because if buddhism could save the soul ,JESUS won't need to be born of the virgin mary inorder to die for our sins right ?and there's no need for a Bible . You may asked ,who knows if JESUS is real ?If JESUS doesn't exist , why is HIS NAME so powerful and demons will flee when hearing HIS NAME?
Wow! :') I'm so touched! Just look at her mian ban (the wooden board), its all chipped off... shows how much she practised!!! :) I aspire to be her!!! :')
Excellent!

Look how passionate she is.
beautiful song
闭眼听和睁眼听是两种美，都很不错
The tremolo with five fingers is one of the very basic techniques from the time when the fingernails replaced the plectrum, that is to say, in the later Tang Dynasty. Your opinion about "browing guitar tremolo" is redicilous. You just need to learn little more about the history of both pipa and guitar, and watch videos closely to see the difference in their techniques: even the tremolos are performed in a opposite way.
This is fantastic!

Amazing sound and music. such passion and emotion!
