That's "Spring Morning in Suzhou" (Gusu Chun Xiao) composed and played by Deng Jiandong, from the Hugo CD of the same name, also on the "Deep Midnight" compilation CD.

It's one of my favourite erhu CDs. The piece is the style of a type of music called Jiangnan Sizhu (silk and bamboo music from Jiangnan).

It's beautiful!  I am very taken by it.  Now I have to find the CD.  Do you know where I might be able to find it?

Spring Morning in Suzhou is an excellent CD. The tune itself is also available on the CD Night Thoughts, also on the Hugo label, as well as volume 1 of The Hugo Masters set on the Celestial Harmonies label. All are available on Amazon, and sometimes Ebay.

Best wishes,

David

I got the name of the "Deep Midnight" compilation CD wrong, yes it's "Night Thoughts". They're both translations of "Ye Shen Chen"

I was browsing erhu videos on Youtube and came across this video of someone (not Deng Jiandong!) playing the beginning bit of this piece.
