Xi an Oriental Symphony Orchestra Concert
Monday, May 05, 2008

Ruanster met up at Marina Square and we had our dinner at HongKong Cafe while waiting for others to arrive. Yiling and Minru were having great time taking a lot of photos while other enjoy their food. After that, while walking to esplanade, we bumped into meiqi and his boyfriend...and everyone starts gossiping about it.


I personally do not like this oriental symphony because the sound quality and strength is not as strong as the symphony orchestra ( erhu and gaohu is unmatched to violin and viola). And this arrangement lost the special tone colour of dizi, suona and traditional percussion. So i do not like this "so-called revolution of chinese orchestra". It turns out to be something not here nor there- quite sad.
