when guitar meets 中阮...
Before Earth meet a full lunar eclipse on the 22nd this month, guitar met 中阮 just this evening. lol
The most anticipated concert for having played all the 3 movements of 《云南回忆》！
Being old and out of touch with 中阮，刘星 had a hard time during rehearsals and even on the actual concert for 《云南回忆》。Although he's technically inapt, his rendition of this self-composed song was actually great! Anyway, credit should still be given to him even though he made some glitches in the concert as it ain't an easy feat to complete this concerto even for a young adult! lol
Manuel Barrueco's guitar performance was rather safe...at least comparing with 刘星. However, his 基本功 in guitar can be clearly 'seen' through his performance. lol
All in all, both the soloists performance was rather sterile in their tones. Maybe it's the age of the piece, but anyway it's a once in a lifetime to hear 《云南回忆》complete and a guitar+中阮 concerto all in a night! lol
