Awesome Er-hu performance

Dunno if you guys are into Chinese music but this is a really awesome example. For purists, this is not "truly" a Chinese application of the instrument, she's playing in tune with the piano, which is not on the same tuning system as the traditional Chinese pentatonic scale.

Why should you care? It's a little more accessible to "western" ears, so check it out. She's an incredible performer.

I posted this a long time ago. It's an awesome vid for House of Flying Daggers that someone put together and I'm pretty sure the music features the same instrument.

HoFD is my favorite of the "epic" style Chinese martial arts films btw.
