Music of This Issue: “A Torrential Downpour,” from the Belikaden Ensemble’s “Subverting Ireland”

http://www.mhcnt.sh.cn/Culture/Family_network/kh/music/5.wma
On Baidu MP3, searching for “Beli Caden Ensemble” turns up only this one track, and the sound quality is terribly poor. Make do with it~
Also, I uploaded a piece called “Voyage” myself to test Blogbus’s file-upload function; maybe one day I’ll delete it, but I’ll link it here for now:

——Even if these two can be downloaded (I can’t do it either), they’re probably the kind with rather poor sound quality…

——This “Audiophile Specialty Shop” is exactly the set I bought; it was in this set of discs that I heard the Beli Caden Ensemble. This set of discs is still pretty good: http://www.amazon.cn/detail/product.asp?prodid=zjmu250300&source=w-90003370

This piece grows more and more compelling the more I listen to it……especially the later part with its strong rhythmic feel, and the violin section, of course the bagpipe section too (that simply can’t be left out~)… 
No wonder it’s Ireland… long time no see………Lately I’ve been immersed in Eastern Europe and the Soviet side~~~… 
One kind of good music makes people feel that time and space are both very vast. 
Perhaps there’s also a kind that makes people feel time and space are infinitesimally small? Come to think of it, that too is a kind of vastness……..

Some time ago I kept thinking of this piece from time to time for no apparent reason. 
Looks like it’s a classic~ 
So today I came to listen~~

Mm, after listening it really is! 
There’s characterization. Many facets. 
You can hear resolve and contradiction in it……….. 
Good~

ai 
I’m very sorry 
I came by to pay my respects 
How strange 
These few pieces here of yours 
Really make one 
…… 
It’s just that at some point you suddenly want to listen to them 
In obedience to the Suixuan master’s command, I won’t come often anymore.
