空城计:我正在城楼观山景

China / Peking opera

The Empty City Ruse: “I am on the city wall, admiring the hills”

Zhuge Liang bluffs an advancing army from the walls of an undefended city — perhaps the best-known laosheng aria. A mix of singing and accompaniment. Recorded in Beijing in 2017 for a music-research corpus.
