This idea could be far more interesting. It sounds like a lot composition excercises, some of them are really good, but doesn't sound like one integrated piece.
To me it s as insane as the Malaysian cook selling stirred fried pebbles from his stall in the street and making a pile out of it 🤷♂️🤣🙄 Snobbery at its best!
Heres the thing, Im all for sonic landscapes. Give me some penderecki or ligeti anyday and ill usually be down. However, the sheer simplicity and lack of substance here is staggering. so much of the actual sound produced are just annoying whines and yelps by the poor woodwinds. You have the uninspired 1 note peddle drones that persist to be uninteresting, neither creating suspense or atmosphere. The only interesting sections are when the traditional sounding oriental melodies come in, but those are sadly so sparcely orchestrated that they end up just fading into the rest of the mediocrity. Im no composer, and i have to give credit where its due. You got your thoughts down on paper, congrats. Youre doing better than me. However, i say with all honesty, the fads and quirks of this concerto wont ever be enough to sustain its memory. Its just a very sad peice of music, and not in a good way.
Maybe you can't hear the substance that's there because you don't have any reference for all the Chinese musical traditions he's drawing on. Like the Beijing opera styles around 11'-12', or the percussion ensemble styles throughout. Perhaps if you tried starting with some of the less "gimmicky" seeming Tan Dun works, you'd be able to appreciate more of this - I think "Ghost Opera" is a pretty good intro to his compositional style, especially if you can find the video of Kronos playing it.
tan dun is truly a genius and a master of color
The meeting of reality, art and talent. And a miracle is born.

Imagine learning this and trying to remember what you have to play and how to play it
Netflix:”Are you still watching?”
Us:
Grande abilità. Molti non si rendono conto della complessità del lavoro del solista.
Me in my bath when I was a kid:
laughed harder than i should of
Amazing...speechless, immersed.... peace! What a composition I have ever seen!
thank you 🙏
Érdekes volt, ha nem láttam volna nem tudnám megfejteni a hangforrást. Tetszett a szólista.
Close your eyes and listen 👌
像似在暗夜中萬馬奔騰爬山涉水景象，打擊者跟樂團們合作無間，太厲害了
😁
I wonder what the sheet music for this is
It fell in the bowl and disintegrated
Incredible performance! Masterpiece!
thank you 🙏
Props the musician who had to techniques for using water as an instrument
So Particular, Such New Sounds for Music, but Such Ancient Sounds for Planet Earth.
Really Amazing.
“Ah, so you play in an orchestra?”
“Yes😊”
“What instrument do you play?”
“Uh… well… it’s a little complicated😐”
This idea could be far more interesting.

this is actually pretty cool
Yo, this is masterpiece
That's really impressive for me as a music senior

Музыка подземелья
7:32+ for the water splashing 😊
How do we hire this soloist?

Nobody:
Kids in the bathtub:
Did someone just fall out from the back stage?
마치 금지된 어둠의 물약을 만드는 연금술사가 떠오르는군요
This is the technique to invite ghost 👻👻👻
noice
I only hope they ended up using this water to spray plants or something....
this slaps
all these people saying "masterpiece" etc. ... this sucks and im not saying that lightly
HELP IS THAT A SLIPPER?
This kinda reminds me of Handel's Water Music 😂
13:31 looks like a racoon washing an apple.
😂
To me it s as insane as the Malaysian cook selling stirred fried pebbles from his stall in the street and making a pile out of it 🤷♂️🤣🙄
Snobbery at its best!
There is some noise pollution in the neighborhood of the musician 😂😂😂 Please, don't practice this at home
This is so amazingly freaking bad

I don’t like it
It's really unfortunate that someone wasted their time writing this
It's really unfortunate that you wasted your time writing this unhelpful comment
…and worse, those paying for and wasting their time attending.
Poor of you wasting your time listening to something you don't like just to write are nonsense comment.
