I must admit that it is usually when i am cleaning this house. It gets me moving faster but today I stopped and watch at times. I must extend you wonderful compliments because you really are enjoying yourself and your face elicits some much expression. And this time I saw a brief smile between you and the conductor. Thank you for sharing this gift of music with a large audience. I hope you come and play here in Austin, Texas one day. I would enjoy seeing you in person. Peace to you always :) 1.9K Reply 11 replies @WilliamZhouPiano 2 days ago Ray Chen + Two Set = 1 Reply @Casper_Cassie 5 years ago Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that we can all watch such an amazing performance for free at home in such high quality anytime we like? 30, heck even as close as 20 years ago this is the kind of thing only the upper classes could have had even semi-regular access to. Thank god for youtube and modern technology. 629 Reply 10 replies @gingerjam095 5 years ago In my opinion, Ray Chen is one of the most talented, expressionistic and passionate players of our generation, if not the most. I absolutely love the way he appreciates music, understands the music and the composer. His sense of humour and passion are unmatched. He can have fun while playing accurately and that is amazing. So much hard work has been put in to achieve this standard and it really shows, also how much Ray cares for the music. 1.5K Reply 20 replies @jt3hg-jt3hg 1 year ago Ray is one of the best violinists of the time.

Here even Ling Ling listens and enjoys the music instead of practicing 40 hours a day. 185 Reply 6 replies @arazaratsyan6478 7 years ago (edited) Really interesting how it seems like they've planned out who's following whom when. At times when the orchestra has more of an important melody, Ray is watching Maestro Nagano, while when Ray has a more important solo part which requires him to take some liberty with how it's played/rhythm, Maestro Nagano is watching him. I don't think soloists are usually concerned about conductors this much. 660 Reply 6 replies @sam-k7n 6 days ago One of my friends told me to listen to this concert and close my eyes and pick out each instrument as it is being played or performed. Simply genius! Reply @francoisrobberts6626 7 years ago (edited) Ray executed the cadenza marvellously. He played each note crystal clear. From 9:27-9:51 is one of my favourite sections. This is the best interpretation I've heard by far. 267 Reply 9 replies @tonysamosa1717 5 years ago You're like the only soloist who looks like he's having a blast. Soloists are always so stoic 148 Reply 2 replies @eddominates 8 months ago Some soloists just make it look easy. Ray shows you exactly how difficult it is, and shows his appreciation for the difficulty at the same time, all while making it look easy. It's a really refreshing style. Shows passion both for the piece and for the genius involved in its creation. 56 Reply 1 reply @puzzician 3 years ago High def recording reveals all the bow hairs that bravely sacrificed themselves to produce this gem 797 Reply 7 replies @78pianist 1 month ago My favourite Violin Concerto.

It's as if the violin is an extension of his soul. 119 Reply 1 reply @irisce2799 10 months ago Ray's Mendelssohn is honestly king. I don't think anyone plays it better than him. Mendelssohn VC requires the perfect balance of just playing in a way that sounds nice and not tilting too far in any direction which many soloists with strong playing styles tend to impart on their interpretations. Ray's performance is just a service to the music and delivers each note and phrase in the Goldilocks zone, the ideal interpretation. 56 Reply 3 replies @communitychannel 6 years ago so good 717 Reply 11 replies @wingyu316 2 months ago This has to be one of the best concerto recordings I’ve ever seen 3 Reply @BangkokVoiceCoach 11 months ago I love Ray.

They are superb violinists. It is quite a pleasant change to see a young male violinist of this high standard here. My first exposure of this concerto was back in the 60's when I was a teenager. Yes, it was a recording of Jascha Heifetz. Much later on YouTube, I like Sarah Chang's performance with Maestro Kurt Masur in New York when she was 15 years of age. Both played the concerto in straight adherence to the tempo as indicated in the music. Mr. Chen plays some passages in the first movement in somewhat slower tempo. It is not till the 3rd movement that he plays Allegro throughout. Maybe I am old style, I like it that way. 75 Reply 1 reply @suatgocer356 3 months ago Maestro thanks to much playing this great Mendelssohn piece, I know you since today, only by chance I got in to your page on YouTube, and regret how I missed a musical genius , as you are, from now I will become one of your greatest fan, the way you play, your energy and professionality tells me something about you, you must be a former prodigy, I see you are one of the Paganini_like virtuoso, just a few came to this world of the entire music history,! 4 Reply @GLXLR 9 years ago Literally one of the best renditions of this piece I've ever heard. Your energy is driving the orchestra's sound instead of vice versa, and your technique is electrifying. Will always be your fan Ray because you are amazing! 63 Reply @karentravis2357 3 years ago I love the interaction between Ray Chen, the conductor and the orchestra. The conductor even at one point in the last movement seems to step back and allow Ray to lead the orchestra. Has to be my most favourite live performance. 84 Reply 5 replies @damy9454 7 months ago 29/01/2024, bien que je ne sois pas familier avec la musique classique, chaque note a réussi à m'émouvoir profondément, au point de déclencher des larmes.

A wykonanie przecudne, wrażliwe i dokładne, dziękuję! 1 Reply @stew148 5 years ago (edited) Ray Chen has given me inspiration. I played violin before I knew of Ray Chen and I was never about to quit, however, Ray Chen has given me the inspiration to push myself and to see how I play violin from a completely different perspective. He has shown me how to connect with the music and the composer and that when you play, you’re not just playing notes on a page; you are expressing the emotions of the composer. And to be able to do that, you must feel that same emotion. Ray Chen shows this in his playing. The way he plays, not only can you tell that he feels the emotions of the composer, but he also makes the audience feel it too. That is inspirational and that is why I aspire to become a professional violinist when I graduate high school; so that I can help others see this too. 53 Reply @hlbai 9 years ago Ray, you catch my ears then my eyes then my attention on who you are. Then I google and realize that you were born in Taiwan, so proud of you! Your music really touches my heart! 32 Reply @guny8462 2 days ago Mr. Chen, thank you so much.

He makes every phrase musical and it says something with charachter . His triplets in the beginning made more sense than I ever heard anyone before make with them and he can actually color his tone with bow speed not just vibrato . Remarkable musician :more than just a violinist . I want to hear his Sibelius , Bartok 2 . Has he rcorded the Shostakovich a minor or Neilsen ? He's so good looking and the playing speaks if he plays either of the Prokofiev concerti Iknow I will dream and cry !

There are some pieces that you fall in love with in childhood which you grow out of and there are others, like this, which you never tire of. I first got to know it as a geeky, music-mad kid. My mum had some records which very occasionally she would let me listen to. Her version was played by someone called Mischa Elman. (For years I thought the cover photo of the striking redhead wearing a black frock and holding the violin was the person actually playing on the disc...). Not sure what I loved about it more - the youthful, passionate joy of the piece or the rich yet sweet sound of the soloist. Somehow the two things became inseparable in my mind and now half a century later your playing has brought all that back to me. You have a wonderful, communicative gift and I wish you every success. Today you made me very happy. Thanks Richard 23 Reply @raymondlu2827 2 years ago (edited) 您讓樂團復活了！也讓每個樂章賦予生命並生動每個情節！感恩您對音樂的熱情，也感染了其他人！ 4 Reply 1 reply @Тайныйновгородец 1 year ago Меня что радует в нём? - он отодвинул своим исполнением далеко в тень всех этих целый век царствовавших на сцене американо-еврейских "королей скрипок" типа Хайфеца и прочих менухиных..Франческатти и другие европейцы из-за них были в тени.

So many recordings feel like the soloist and the conductor have totally diff views on how fast the piece should be or want to use a tone of rubato. This is a perfect handoff that keeps the momentum going though. Really well done. A perfect example of how beautiful phrasing doesn't need to compromise continuity. 17 Reply @blankavarclova1837 2 months ago Úžasné z celého srdce děkuji zavřu oči, poslouchám hudbu,jsem v nebi, božské Reply @scottguy5452 3 years ago This is simply the best interpretation of the final movement I have ever heard. 10 Reply @Vegathlete 4 years ago (edited) Wow! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better... this! Chen is at the top of his game. Just heard him play the Mendelssohn with the Gothenburg with the same energy, precision and emotion. Like Vengerov, he really brings out the music as it was intended to be heard, full of vigor and bravura. This can only be achieved if you are completely immersed and committed and physically able to do so, which they of course are. Both concertos executed so cleanly, the audience certainly got their money’s worth. Luckily for us, the camera work and sound is an equally impressive performance!! 12 Reply @user-ok8ji4kc6l 1 year ago The moment at 9:25 when the orchestra comes in right as ray begins almost fluttering like a butterfly with the violin is otherworldly, the flute part is heavenly!

Although this piece conceived in 1838, the work took another six years to complete and was not premiered until 1845. Meanwhile, David gave Mendelssohn some suggestions. The piece itself was one of the best violin concertos of the Romantic era and was influential on many other composers. The concerto consists of three movements in a standard fast–slow–fast structure that was a more traditional form during that time. The three movements are melodically and harmonically connected and played. I also really like the beginning melody and the transitions, also the orchestra that acompanys this player. This player is a very good person on emotions and dynamics. He is just good at everything in general. 4 Reply 1 reply @julianowak7102 8 months ago This piece is so incredible in Ray Chen performance.

Рэй и оркестр погружают нас в волшебство!!! Reply @jankodera5811 4 years ago Young Mr Chen made us a nice gift by his inspired playing of this piece. I thank him fo that. This piece is, if I am allowed to speak commercially, hard to sell not so much because of technical difficulty, but because it's ubiquity - so many musicians presented their version and public is not easy to be impressed. Still Mr Chen resisted the usual contemporary instinct to break rules and respected the composer and piece itself. He played with clear and very pleasant sound. Maybe some tiny imperfections, like very small rush at 10:20 could be improved, but generally he gave us fine musical performanse and enjoyment. 4 Reply @Meow784 3 years ago oh wow, he started on a down bow.
