Was I nervous before going on stage? A little, but the good news is confidence can be practiced. 🎉Join the practice community today: tonicmusic.app/practice-now
Whether you were nervous or not nervous, you would have done amazing!!!! You did an amazing job. Never have I ever listened to something like this before!! Mind BLOWINGGGGGGGG❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching from a faraway place, I have always dreamed of performing with Ray Chen or Hilary Hahn or someone like that. You are my motivation to practice!
UK.... and I would love you to come here, Ray. I never tire of Four Seasons. Loved your interpretation. I know one shouldn't put limits on goals but this is one piece that will elude me.... Am only 2 years in, learning violin and currently nursing a fractured right wrist so am sorely missing playing right now.... hoping also that I will regain full mobility.
The passion, sensitivity and virtuosito that Ray puts into his performances is unmatched IMO. I love the strong emotional connection that he makes with each piece he plays. And he was smiling by the end of this stellar rendition! A fan from the USA.
I love how I can never tell how old this dude is. He literally never ages, and his playing only gets better. Props to Ray for being Ray Bae and a Violin champ!
I love how Ray Chen brings something new and unique to every piece he plays. He's incredibly creative and artistic as well as technically exceptional, and he gets you invested in the music no matter what he's playing. Wonderful interpretation 👏👏👏
I heard it when Ray practiced it at Tonic's practice room! But now when I see it, it takes my breath away. I love the original by Vivaldi. But the way Ray plays it here with such concentrated energy and virtuosity, I'm incredibly fascinated. Thanks for sharing here and thanks for Tonic, Ray Chen🎻❣️
I have Tonic but I still can’t figure out how to listen to him practice!!!! I followed him but I still can’t hear him practicing…… How do you listen to him on Tonic???
@@hayoolleeviolin9779 Sometimes the notification works on Tonic, sometimes it doesn't. I often look at the list of who is currently practicing. With the time differences, it is often more difficult. Good luck, eventually you will hear Ray!🎻😊
Wow wow wow wow wow love love love love love this interpretation. Thank you Ray and all the other musicians for this electrifying performance.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
All of the musicians played with such passion in this video, I just loved watching and listening to them. What a privilege it was for those who were able to be there in person.
I love Tonic. When you are feeling down, you can go, and listen to people practicing, so suddenly you are happy, feel much better, and motivated to practice 🤩🤩
I usually hate the hyperbole that always gets thrown around whenever someone plays a piece but this was undoubtedly the best interpretation of this piece i have ever heard, its so interesting and dynamic. It wasnt different for the sake of being different but it really added a lot to the piece itself. I love that Ray is at a point in his career where he is just heavy on adding his own interpretations to pieces he's no doubt played many times. There will be some misses due to individual tastes, but we will also get some amazing gems like this
I don’t know where to begin. I think I first saw a collaboration with a piano guy and from there went to watch other videos and clips. The passion you had playing with him and how you show him where to jump in for effects, I could see you both had so much fun. I got suggestions of many other violinists after that but there was something missing for me personally. I wanted the fun in how you guys played together and honestly I love your interpretation of four seasons, I’ve listened to them so many times now that I actually recognize your way of playing other pieces too 😂 It’s amazing how one person’s passion for instrument can give another person a rollercoaster of emotions and passion for music they never favored before. There’s a show on a movie/tv platform where it’s very suitable, I hear it there too 😁 well one in particular but I hear you in more. Thank you for getting my ears back to wanting to hear music again ❤️ Sweden here btw
Dear Mr. Chen! It's me again! I got into a little altercation the other day, thankfully I got home safe. But what I learned was, the meaning of life, such as time, the universe, nature, science, all revolve around your voice. It does what your voice tells it to do. That "voice" is God.
So intense!!!! Love this! That smile at 3:33 says everything. I am envious but moreover inspired, Ray-you tackle so many different, varied projects. And you bring so much to every one of them.
Vengerov: ~"If you didn't break some bow hairs, you didn't play it right". Ray played it right!! 😅 Truly wonderful performance - passionate and authenticate. I like to think of it as the first ever performance of this work, back in the 1700s. 😃
Thanks you Ray Chen you're so talented and have helped my boyfriend by bringing him calm, to his storms. He has PTSD thank you very much keep up the excellent technique and violin playing ❤️
Gorgeous, of course!! And I can see you becoming a conductor in the future... The next video came up automatically and it was from 7 years ago in Venezuela, the CRAZY Bach double concerto...with Ray holding a baton! WooooHoooooo! I had no idea when I made the comment above about you becoming a conductor! 😺
We live in an incredible time where we get to interact on an almost personal level and get insights from probably the best young violinist in our century.
Absolument merveilleux ❤ Je suis, en toute modestie, en train de travailler cette magnifique pièce et votre énergique virtuosité me guide, merci 🙏 vous êtes sensationnel ❤
Hola buenas noches, muchas pasión hay en tus manos al tocar el violín...estás hecho para grandes logros....felicitaciones...soy tu fan...exitos infinitos 🎉 maravilloso....
It's the type of passionate playing where you can imagine that somewhere in the heavens, angels were taking bets. "Okay, how many hairs is he gonna lose on his bow this time?"
If I remember correctly, the view of this concert hall is awesome. Too bad it was film at night. 😅All joking aside this is a wonderful performance. Thanks for sharing.

Dear @@Daria-ut6en
I feel the same.😢
I used to watch it almost every day,
and I was impressed each time.🍀
❤❤❤ I LOVE TONIC SO MUCH

Ray's bow hair just can't handle the passion.
Hope you enjoyed this movement! Let me know where you're watching from!
From Korea! Your music is cooling down this hot, sticky weather ;) Looking forward to your concerts in Seoul this August

Calm down, don’t cream your panties.
Well said and soo true ❤
Totally agree. He finds joy in every piece he plays and that comes across to the listener.
I love how I can never tell how old this dude is. He literally never ages, and his playing only gets better. Props to Ray for being Ray Bae and a Violin champ!
I've never heard it interpreted like this before. It's lovely.
Its actually garbage, completely ruins the piece. Its supposed to be baroque, not romantic
I love how Ray Chen brings something new and unique to every piece he plays. He's incredibly creative and artistic as well as technically exceptional, and he gets you invested in the music no matter what he's playing. Wonderful interpretation 👏👏👏

These would be my words too.... though I'd have added an extra Wow! Have just re-listened to this today....

Thanks!

Ray, I love your playing.
Ray Chen ROCKS!
Winter is my favorite of Vivaldi's seasons, and I love your interpretation here. Fantastic performance!❤
I love Tonic. When you are feeling down, you can go, and listen to people practicing, so suddenly you are happy, feel much better, and motivated to practice 🤩🤩
Ray, it is such a joy to watch you play! Thank you for inspiring the world to enjoy classical music.
No boring presentation there. Ray Rocks!

Watched your Tchaikovsky concerto live in Sydney Opera house on Wednesday night🎉. Thanks for making my first violin concert experience great!
That music was so beautiful, you are such a talented musician. Exquisitely beautiful 😊
Epic stage bro! Fitting the playing perfectly!

Hi Ray Chen❤🎉
Boulder, Colorado, see you in a few days for your masterclass and concert lol
This is amazing
What are the differences of using the Baroque violin bow and using the modern violin bow?
Nova no seu canal. Você toca muito, rapaz! 😮🎻💜💛
So, I was the person who started the black-Blue-Gray dress code in 2004. I'm glad to see it's caught on :)
When are you coming to new york?
The broken horse hair flying around emphasizing the intensity of your playing.
Anyone can explain why there are loose 'hairs' at the end of his volin bow?
others don't seem to have it
3:35 - Marvelioso 😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Where can I watch the whole concert?
wow! i hope you upload more videos of you playing on stage, such a beautiful interpretation.
