From wikipedia, here's the machine translated description: In 2001, Hong Kong Yueqin and Zhongruan player Lui Kwan On commissioned Liu Xing to write a Zhongruan concerto for her recital, and he already had a desire to write a second Zhongruan concerto, so they hit it off immediately. It then took three years to complete in late 2004, originally for the Western Orchestra. Later, for various reasons, the concert did not take place, and the work remained hidden for almost a decade. In 2012, Yan Huichang, the artistic director of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, invited Liu to create a work for the 2014 "Music of China" concert (the 42nd Hong Kong Arts Festival program), so he modified the work into a concerto for Chinese Orchestra and Zhongruan. It took him a year to complete the adaptation. The work was finally premiered on February 22, 2014 at the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra's "Music of China VIII" concert (42nd Hong Kong Arts Festival) in the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong City Hall, conducted by Yan Huichang and premiered by Tan Su-Min, a young Singaporean Zhongruan virtuoso who graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music with a master's degree in Zhongruan and is a student of Liu Xing). According to Tan Su-Min, compared to "Memories of Yunnan", the style is different and the technique is much more difficult. The rapid technique in the third movement of "Memories of Yunnan" is one of the more challenging parts of the piece, while each movement of Zhongruan Concerto No.2 has its own unique difficulties and dazzling passages. In addition, the dazzling passages in each movement basically become more and more difficult and challenging one after another. Liu Xing, on the other hand, pointed out that an excellent performer needs to possess three conditions, including mentality, diligence and talent. In a materialistic environment, attitude is especially important. If the direction is not right, it will be driven further and further away by various forces. Liu Xing considers Tan Su-Min to be a rare talent who has all three: mentality, diligence, and talent, and therefore entrusts her with the premiere of the Zhongruan Concerto No.2. The piece received the highest number of votes in the HKCO's subsequent "My Favorite Piece in Music of China" poll, and the HKCO decided to invite Tan Su-Min to perform the piece with the HKCO again in the 43rd Hong Kong Arts Festival's program "Music in China IX" in 2015
Maravillosa presentación, estaré pendiente para próximas presenaciones
Stunning! A moving and artistic performance. I wish more information was given about the artist and the story behind this song.
