Comments on The Sparrow Quartet in Beijing - Chinese subtitles
The sentiments and music and spirit in this video and group is beautiful and a great pointer for the future.
For a Scot I know a lot of semi classical Chinese music and performers but this fusion style is heartwarming
Many thanks for having it on line.
