Here’s some beautiful music to bring you comfort and joy 🎶
The backstory:
Julio and I were meant to perform in Taipei & Kaohsiung on June 5 & 6 this year but due to a recent surge in cases, we had to postpone our recitals to a later date (TBD as of this moment). Since we've still been rehearsing every day (such is the life of a musician!), we thought it would be nice to record a little clip of our rehearsal playing this beautiful piece.
Please enjoy :)

he even breathes with the violin! as a singer, im always astonished when musicians can make their instruments behave like the human voice, so so beautiful
You can't just drop this masterpiece without warning 😢🥰
It’s obviously not his
@@ape2533 ...thats not what they meant
Well, he just did
The passion this time is not in the brows, but in the shoulders!
I be sobbing :')
Violin is super good! Violinist is even better!! Ray is super super❤
Composers and musicians create the most beautiful music when they see the beauty and ugliness of life and accept it the as the way it is as they know the love they long for will never come
Me a cellist who always says the swan is better on the cello.
Ray chen: hold my beer.
Thanks for making me reconsider my instrument again
As a violinist, I want to say that the Swan really is also very beautiful on the cello 🙂. The cello is a gorgeous instrument. It’s those gems like Ray, he makes pieces such as this sounds so incredibly lovely. When ever I hear one of his videos I have to stop everything I’m doing, be still and just take in his performance.
As a violinist, I think the swan is better on the cello. The cello just has a special tone especially on the higher registers, and it makes a type of sound no other instrument can make.
@@jak.cr1ym Split the difference and have a violist do it.
@@seanmcghee2373 😁
I think it sound best on the viola.
Can you hear silk?
Yes, you can. **shows them this video**
Also, can we thank Julio for collaborating once again with Ray? That piano just perfection.
Julio is incredible. He would accompany me in lessons when I was at Juilliard Pre-College, he was just a masters' student at the time, but even in our rehearsals his guidance was unquestionably world-class
When an artist makes his instrument sing, that’s when magic happens! Bravo! Classical beauty! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Discovering this right before Christmas is the real gift. Amazing performance, Ray and Julio!
Bravo!
Every time I hear this, I'm reminded of Yuzuru Hanyu's figure skating exhibition routine from a few years back, pre-COVID. This rendition would have been a magical addition to that routine.
Yes, now I want to watch his skate next!
Yes!
A Ray-Yuzu collab, yes!
Браво!!!Браво!!!!
Ray, everything you play is so beautiful and touching. No word can describe it. We can only feel it.
As a cellist I approve
It takes me a while to appreciate any music I hear properly. Somehow clicking the video instantly made me like this.
He plays flawlessly and almost makes me want to cry.
Браво великолепно звучит Сен-Санс,🌞🔥💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎻😽🐈 здоровья успехов счастье и творческого вдохновения 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is one of the definitions of perfection
++, it is inspiring to watch this man's face expressions when playing this tune :)
When I saw this video I got so excited I literally ran to get my earphones and just sat down to dive into the absolute melancholic beauty of a piece. Thanks Ray!
I am overwhelmed with joy seeing Ray’s new video, especially this time he plays one of my favourite pieces.
Best music in the world.
Absolutely beautiful.
This may be one of my favorite pieces of all time, and of course I am well familiar with the cello in the melodic role, so without fail when Ray comes in with the high, dulcet tones of the violin I am always taken aback - but not for long. You can just let it wash over you, like the silver rippling water under a moonlit night. Absolutely gorgeous.
Dear Ray you are the best on our planet👋👋👋👋👋❤❤❤
Every time I listen to this masterpiece, I am often left with tears in my eyes! Thank you so much for playing this beautifully, Mr. Julio and Mr. Chen!
Dlaczego to jest takie piękne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very bright rendition , yet as warm as cello. amazing as always, Ray !
ray: has recorded several albums, world soloist, accomplished violinist
me: still trying to figure out how to move my tuning pegs
Easy, hand over your violin to your teacher. Nothing to it. ;-)
I ended up bending my bridge so we are in the same boat😁
@@saiprabhamittal2419 I busted a bridge before and it flew so yep understandable have a nice day XD
Wait. Those things turn? I thought we were just supposed to turn the little screws on the other end.
Twist
Never heard this on violin before. Bravo!
Just taking a moment to acknowledge how beautiful this little tune is.
Weird thing. It doesn't seems to be perfect. But also it doesn't try to be. It is a very intimate recording, that describes your characters perfectly.
Jack Black to Lawrence: “It’s perfect, you’re perfect”
The World to Ray: “It’s perfect, you’re perfect”
Fluid sounds that fill my heart. Tugs at the heartstrings and incredible 'cooling' effects on a hot day for me. Standing ovation and kudos to 2 admirable musicians. ❤❤❤
My comment: I really see that both musicians are very talented, nonetheless the real GENIUS here is the composer, Camille Saint-Saens!!! To create such a piece of music and transport us to a place that is out of this world in such a delicate and beautiful manner is simply beyond our human comprehension... GREAT WORK AND AN AMAZING MASTERPIECE!!!
Very beautiful. Thank you, Ray Chen.
My mother was a concert cellist and this always reminds me of her. Lovely, Ray.
Thank you Ray 😍😍😍🥰🥰 and Julio 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I teared up to the point a teardrop went down my cheek. SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Man, I love this song and his playing.
The ending was so beautiful it gave me gosebumps
I super love this piece 🥰 whenever i hear this it reminds me of Yuzuru Hanyu's gala performance at Pyeongchang Olympics way back 2018. Thank you Ray!
Love Ray’s sensational musicality and the unique vibrato that brings violin to life!
That little descending line the pianist does at the end was so nice. Great job all around
Very nice Ray ❤ I really like the way you put the emotion in the song 👏👍
明晚原本能夠在國家音樂廳欣賞Ray的演出，因為疫情而延期確實讓人感到有些失落~
不過真的謝謝Ray，今晚我們的心因你們的演奏而再次溫暖
Every single note is heavenly beautiful
Brilliant! Love that Ray shows the emotions on his face when he plays
Thanks to Ray for this peaceful piece and hope everything will be fine this year.
Truly a treat... Enjoyed greatly... Thank yous going to both interpreters... 🎶.
Tears of joy for such beauty you guys brought into the world today! What artistry and brilliance you shared with us! From the bottom of my soul, thank you!
Now, Your feeling is mine. Thank you.~!
영화배우로도 손색이 없이 잘 생기심.
So wonderfully sensitive and romantic!❤
I love your facial expressions so much! That shows your love for the music. Beautiful!
I don't know how to describe what your music does to me and many other people for sure. I listen to your videos over and over. This piece touches me so much because my grandfather played it and it was one of his favourites.
How much feeling from both of them, it's fantastic and I hear it over and over again. Ray's face a single surrender to these tones🎶💓🎻
Wonderful 🥺I can't hold back the tears at the perfection of this song 🥺
WYCZUCIE, DELIKATNOŚĆ I SUBTELNOŚĆ TO WZRUSZA !
Love you, your light-hearted spirit, and your playing so much. To hear you play is a great gift! Bravo!
Wow, was not expecting the tears threatening to spill from my eyes 😂😭
this is so calm
The Swan is always my favourite violin piece
It's a Cello piece tho
@@hungryfordog2469 oops i meant the violin version
completely forgot it was for cello
Un véritable chef d'œuvre en effet ❣️ Subjuguée par tant de beauté🕊️ 🎶💓🎶✨
Bravo, Ray Chen's sound is so warm.
A Ray of sunshine to brighten up our days! As always, beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
How wonderful. I skated to this many years ago. Brilliant violin & piano playing!
WOW -I'm just speechless
I loved watching you play this! It's like you're having a conversation with your violin and you slowly build to letting loose and singing freely together.
Es una hermosa interpretación!!!!!!!!!
Eres increíble Ray!!!!!
Sublime interpreptation! Bravo!
This was really nice. I had a busy day and this just calmed me down a bit… thanks ☺️
I LOVE RAY AND JULIO 'S PLAY.....😌
I love this rendition so calm and serene.
Perfection. Filled with the feeling of the music. Every note rendered with deep familiarity and conscise meaning.
This makes me smile and tear. That's an accomplishment. And that last note make me get up and practice my violin.
He was playing so good even he was impressed
Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes.
The vibrato and everything sounds amazing
One of my favorite pieces !! ❤️❤️ Sublime !
(For me, 'Le cygne' sounds beautiful yet so sad.)
Phenomenal!!!
It’s 2am and I’m having trouble falling asleep. This came up and brought me to tears 🥺 it’s such a beautiful piece
I'm a big fan of you two guys♡ and I was lucky enough to meet with you in Suzhou 3 years ago. You and Julio's Estrellita makes me fly ..
Breathtakingly beautifu, as a fellow violinist who loves this piece so much, I only hope I can come close to this quality one day, thank you
Ahhhh it feels like such a blessing for listening to Ray plays
Ray chen is playing one of my fav piece😭
Ray Chen 🥰🥰🥰
My heart bleeds listening to the singing violin...heavenly...🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
Your*
👏👏👏So beautiful, i felt i was in heaven. So gifted 🥰
Ray Chen = the most expressive face in violin
The best rendition is by Yo-Yo Ma: nothing that would disturb there, not too much and too little. The music is bringing you somewhere up in the sky. Very romantic piece 🥰
Beautiful! 🥰 Thank you both so much for sharing your gifts of music.
💕🎼🎵🎶🎻🎹💕
Beautiful phrasing and color changes, bravo 👏 mastery revealed in a simple piece
I never expected a Ray Chen x Yuzuru Hanyu crossover like this. This does bring a smile to my face, though. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful piece in the midst of these bleak times :-)
I can literally see the delayed single axel flashing before my eyes ◡̈
I love Hanyu's skating too. Johnny Weir & Yebin Mok also skated to this.
Perfect
it's such a dream of mine to play this song in my violin!!!!
and you're an inspiration to me ❤
Dang! I just noticed Ray seriously uses the entire bow..
Love this piece! Lovely!
I love this piece very much!!! It's so beautifully played🥺🤍
Yo-yo Ma and Ur playing are my favourite 🥺🤍
Gorgeous! Tho I do admit I had war flashbacks to Brett and Eddy’s cello versions 🤣
omg me too HAHAHAHAH😂
So beautiful, but not nearly long enough! Everything about this performance took me closer to Heaven and now I can only miss that peace and joy or click on it again and again and again....☺🌠
This is beautiful. Thank you Ray!
Julio Elizade playing is marvelous! You are perfect playing together. Thank you
(Edit: it's Elizalde. I forgot an l)
This has always been my favorite piece to dance to because I love the music and I can get lost in it. When I practiced this variation it never seemed like a chore or something I didn't want to do and now it's on of if not my favorite pieces. I just came from your video about anxiety and these two videos completely made my day.
