Pipa

 
 
The pipa, sometimes called the Chinese lute, is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Its use in Western style classical music is rather rare though, and so are concertos. I chose a concerto by Minoru Miki, played by Yang Jing with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra under Naoto Otomo on Camerata.
