TWO > FOUR / An Epic Clash of The Centuries! / Liu Shih Chieh’s Debut Erhu Album Score

中國二胡v.s西洋小提琴，看似無關且難以劃上等號的兩種樂器，在我手中卻能拋開所有限制，將四條弦的豐富樂音幻化為用兩條弦來演繹《貳 > 4 》。

古今明月 之 世紀大對決

誰說聖桑《動物狂歡節》中的「天鵝」不能悠遊於中國的太湖？誰說馬斯奈的《泰依絲冥想曲》不能轉化為詩仙李白的沉思？誰說蕭邦的《夜曲》不能刻劃春秋戰國時期的顛沛流離？
 
我用二胡說話，向世界發聲！二胡是我的根，古韻是我的血脈。這次，我要大膽挑戰經典西洋古典音樂，創造出嶄新而繽紛的音樂枝葉！

The chinese(Oriental) erhu V.S. western violin. Although these two instruments share no obvious similarities, we have surpassed all preconceived limitations and adapted a sonata meant for a quartet to be played by just two string instruments.

An epic clash of the centuries!

Who said the Swan from Saint- Saens’ “Le Carnaval des Animaux (Carnival of the Animals)" can’t take a stroll in Tai Hu Lake in China? Who said Massenet’s “Meditation from Thais" can’t be a meditation from the famous Chinese poet Li-Bai? Who says Chopin’s “Nocturne op. 20" can’t describe the hardship during the Chinese Warring States period?

I am speaking to the world with my “Erhu"! It is my blood, and classical music is my soul. This time I am taking on the challenge of western classical music, creating a wonderful and exciting combination that will last centuries.
