Asian Dream Song

Here’s a very moving medley of compositions by Joe Hisaishi, all of which were featured in well known japanese animation films.

Pay special attention to the cellists at 5:36. Listen to not just yourself, but everyone else in the orchestra.

While music is still largely auditory, no one can deny the fact that it is visual as well. Be blown away by the beauty of the medley and the palpable passion the musicians have for music.

台风很重要。不要忽略了它。

Are you doing justice to your instrument?
