Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (臥虎藏龍)

Hello, guys. My blog's topic this week is "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon(臥虎藏龍)." It's a famous wuxia(武俠) film, and the background music has won many international prizes. 

This soundtrack is different from others.The composer, Tan Dun, cooperated with the noted cellist Yo-yo Ma. They mixed the southern classical music and traditional Tihwa music(新疆) , making the soundtrack unique and successfully convey the affection and the stimulating feeling.

Yo-yo Ma

The music is sometimes deep and sometimes making people nervous.When I listen to the CD from the first song to the last song, I can clearly image the scene of the movie.

This song is "A Love Before Time" by Coco Lee. I think I prefer the Madarin version than the English version.

This is "Night Fight." There are no people taking in this video, so you can just watch it, listen the music and feel like particicpate in the story.
