Pablo Maybe he’s trying to interpret something. I find closing my eyes and listening to it purely to be more satisfying compared to pointing out errors.
One of the best in the world for most I’d guess. Certainly one of the best in his generation. He’s a wonderful violinist. Menuhin winners don’t win unless they’re great.
@@pablouuuu it’s so obvious that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The capriccioso part is very intense and that requires fast and intended vibrato to play as opposed to the rondo part where the soloist can be expressive with slow and broad vibrato. He’s not legendary like Milstein, Kogsn, Rabin, Heifetz ... but he’s extremely good and worth watching than the rest.
as a twoset fan, i found out many violinists like hilary hahn and ray chen. as a maltese when i first read the title i thought ray chen came to malta and i freaked out. we love ray chen
Funny story - I clicked on your comment at precisely the time my video went to 3:54. The timing was so precise that the video didn't even pause and jump, it just flowed perfectly into that exact second.
The craziest thing to me is how much Ray improved in between performances. Every single time, you can hear that he’s putting even more in the piece than before.
It wouldn't be a Ray Chen performance without the broken bow-hairs at the end! Wow, I love that guy. Beautiful performance. He always looks like he's having so much fun.
This is literally insane. From the effortless way he can play the insanely fast passages to the way he can express emotion through his deep vibrato and dynamics in the slow section, this is truly a work of art
One of the cleanest interpretations I’ve found! As an anime weeb and classical musician, I thoroughly enjoy any interpretation of this piece, especially Ray Chen!

Ray is always improving with every performance and it’s so noticeable with him especially. That’s what puts him on my lists as one of the best performers out there
Well, you have to know that even with music sheets he'd have to find the right places with his fingers out of intuition, so playing with the eyes closed is not really something hard. Playing by heart is tho.
I perform violin regularly as well (not bad but much worse than ray obviously) and often get compliments for emotion (ie closed eyes)… what it actually is- I’m so nervous I close my eyes to not see the crowd lmao
I absolutely love Ray's rendition of this stunning piece. Also, if you haven't heard Ray's performance of Tartini's Devil's trill Sonata, it's out of this world❤😍

Ascoltare Ray Chen è magia pura, entra nell'anima, trasmette sentimento, adoro il suo modo di suonare 😊😊❤❤
So many violinists are very technical and wonderful, but Ray Chen is both technically superb and passionately full of expression. 🎻 🎶
I keep discovering pieces by Saint-Saëns, the man had a great talent.
Holy fuck that passion that he transmits...no words
No words needed!
I always get chills at 1:40. Probably my favorite part of the entire piece
Totally!
He plays with virtuosity and precision while also being really musical. I really enjoy his playing.
Ray Chen might be the greatest violinist of our time.
HAH funny joke
Me: wow ray played with his eyes closed, he’s really good
What actually happened: he got sweat in his eyes that’s why
Well, you have to know that even with music sheets he'd have to find the right places with his fingers out of intuition, so playing with the eyes closed is not really something hard. Playing by heart is tho.
@@corinnasixt7599 I think he did both of that perfectly
@@corinnasixt7599 Yeah, plus, playing the violin requires muscle memory, so it's not really hard to not look at the fingerboard while playing

I'm in absolute awe... Can't even imagine how it feels being in the audience😃
7:51 till 8:34 - The most difficult moment for Ray Chen and Malta philharmonic. But they did a great job 👏
yeah im learning this piece and the amount of bow control you need to keep up is just crazy lol
Beautiful musique au violon de RAY CHEN ,grand virtuose .J’aime absolument.Merci mille fois RAY CHEN .🎇🙏♥️🧑🎤
His fingers look ridiculously long
Especially pinky finger 😂
I find the same as with musicians that play other instruments. Their fingers are like.... Long... Every finger 😉
Itzhak Perlman's hands are huge. I don't think he even has to put effort into shifting into the 4th and 5th positions, he's already there.
@@carolmarie5105 .
This adds extra advantage when they need to stretch to reach higher range. It’s just like being extra tall to play basket ball
