悲歌《江河水》是中國的傳統曲子，1977年世界指揮大師小澤征爾帶波士頓交響團訪華，曾被閔惠芬演奏的《江河水》感動得流淚，稱讚她「拉出了人間悲切」，聽起來使人痛?肺腑，小澤征爾推崇她為「世界上最偉大的弦樂演奏家之一」。閔惠芬的演奏基本功扎實，富激情，對樂曲內涵理解深刻，處理細膩，具有動人的藝術魅力，她是中國二胡領域的大師級演奏家，大可以養尊處優安度晚年。
出生於1945年的閔惠芬，今已年近花甲，談及她為奮鬥一生的二胡及民樂，不管多勞累，她都是滿臉熱忱和興奮，在她藝術生涯開始輝煌的1981年，發現患癌症，此後揮別舞台開始長達6年並多達6次手術的治療，經過這6年的抗爭，戰勝病痛，87年復出，為中華民族音樂的振興和推廣奔波努力，一生經歷風霜，體會人生的起伏跌盪，還抱著熱愛音樂的熱忱，這一曲江河水絕對是最精彩而發自內心的演繹。
