amazing erhu artistry

This video just left me with my mouth hanging open.  Sun Huang, who is a professor at China’s Central Conservatory, performs the Saint-Säens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso on the two-stringed folk instrument, the erhu.  It’s amazing technical playing, but that’s not the story here.  What’s special is that she plays it with a musicality that many a violinist could only dream of. Ain’t music grand?
