I WAS HERE!!! My grandparents asked me if I wanted to go to a concert, and being a violinist I agreed of course. What they didn't tell me was it would be THE Ray Chen playing, and the whole concert was so amazing. Amazing, amazing show and I'm so lucky to have seen him live.
I love everything about the Hollywood Bowl except one thing...the sacrilegious clapping in between movements and in the middle of the encore. I watched this on the live stream but I got to say, 4:45 to 4:55 was hilarious
That was played amazingly! When I look into your face, of course I can see the emotion then, but when I close my eyes, I can *hear* it and that's beautiful.
Man it isn’t often I hear this song and have it raise the hairs on my arms anymore, being an Aussie, but this gave me chills in the best damn way. This is how it should sound. I love every second of this. Thanks Ray
Ray, Pleaaaase record this professionally I want to listen it without the sacrilegious clapping every day all the time... It is soo beautiful... I want to cry😢
and next to the also great Nathan Cole! Beautiful playing, I really liked your Golden Age album so it's nice seeing it live-ish and with this arrangement. Thanks for sharing and my best wishes.
Ray, My Wife Tanya and I were so stoked to meet you after the show and she’s now a convert to the violin. I also have to thank you for autographing a CD for my violin teacher, Georgia, because I’m now her favourite pupil;) cheers mate, Steve Button
I think it would be a long shot for himself to do it. These variations on a theme generally are built up over time and the notes are solidly in the performer's head, so it's sort of one of those pieces that's quite personal and might not be put to paper for us. However if it is in THAT much demand and/or a publishing company offers up some money to the creator then the public may get something. Just my two cents (actually I wrote quite a lot, so maybe my two dollars haha).
Wow!!! That's at the Hollywood Bowl. I saw that place when my siblings brought me on a tour of Hollywood. Btw, it's my first time to see you in white coat.

@@irisce2799 haha thanks :)
@@meeks182 of course! cool to see you responding to a comment you made a year ago haha
@@irisce2799 RUclips is basically time travel
Well done- great talent- and down to earth and personable with the audience.
4:44 should be made into a GIF.
That's a new fresh meme right there.
Ok weasel lol
Little did we know 7 months ago we'd be helping him for his discord and youtube...isnt it crazy
Omg hi weasel and nick
That is monstrously beautiful!
Ray Chen ROCKS!
4:44 *slaps self in face* don’t judge!

No one cares what u love and definitely not your typical one dimensional American view of what is sacrilegious.
I love his beautiful smile and great personality.
Love how the audience can't contain themselves and break into applause and laughter!! This man truly touches the souls of his audience 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Still brings tears to my eyes. 😍🎻
Thanks
Brilliant! Had to wipe away tears, that was so beautiful, and I'm not even Australian.
Google is it possible to be patriotic for a country you've never been to
That's such a coincidence! The person who made the original tune of Waltzing Matilda has the same last name as you!
Christina MacPherson
I watched the whole concert online. Thank you, Ray and LA Phil. I love you all.

レイ・チェンさんのワルチィングマチルダは、いつどこで聴いても素敵すぎる。
こんなにも素晴らしい演奏をRUclipsで聴けるこの時代に感謝。
いつか絶対、実際に拝聴したい。
Amazing!👍👍👍
Man it isn’t often I hear this song and have it raise the hairs on my arms anymore, being an Aussie, but this gave me chills in the best damn way. This is how it should sound. I love every second of this. Thanks Ray
So moving. A man who loves his country.
Thanks for your Aussie spirit!
This makes me tear up and I'm not even Australian. 😢❤
I don't have words for what happened. Just perfect
Oh very cool Aussies and Long Live Matilda🌹thank you🌹 Mr Ray Chen🎻👏🌹
cheers mates🌹❤️🇦🇺💙🌹
❤so beautiful
That was lovely Ray. Our dear Aaron was smiling in heaven while you were playing. You’re carrying the touch now. Well done, mate!
Beaituful... Just beautiful!!!
And that 4:44 eyebrows... So epic!
Can I please borrow your eyebrows? I really want violin powers.
One million loves for this great concert and Ray's outstanding performance.
Wonderful musician, violin player, arranger and communicator (with a bit of great comic timing thrown in!). Loved that.
Ray, Pleaaaase record this professionally I want to listen it without the sacrilegious clapping every day all the time... It is soo beautiful... I want to cry😢
He did! It was a string quartet, also in this channel :)
and next to the also great Nathan Cole! Beautiful playing, I really liked your Golden Age album so it's nice seeing it live-ish and with this arrangement. Thanks for sharing and my best wishes.
I really love this song and the violinist too!! ♥
i like it when we can know the back story and history of the music. thanks for description!!! great performance!
I was there 8/8/2019. The way how you played was so beautiful. BRAVO!!!
This is Ray Chen unleashed!
Thank you Ray! We had a good time watching the performance!
Ray, My Wife Tanya and I were so stoked to meet you after the show and she’s now a convert to the violin. I also have to thank you for autographing a CD for my violin teacher, Georgia, because I’m now her favourite pupil;) cheers mate, Steve Button
now this is epic
ESKETIT ALL YOU STRAYANSSSS
Wow what a performance again! Your piece had everything! 👌
This was posted four days after my Birthday! Thanks Ray!
4:46 haha I love it, I shouldn't know how to react but Ray takes it very easy
Playing music with heart!! Love it!!!!!
I Love your reaction when the audience was clapping but you made them realize that it's not yet finished. Hahahaha
Super creative arrangement. Good stuff ray
First time hearing this piece.... so beautiful
Heavenly
Love u~Ray💖
everything you play is so beautiful
I hope one day I will have practiced as well as you so I will play half as well :') ❤️ much love de arizona
This was definitely my highlight when I was watching the livestream :)
Beautiful!
I love you Ray
4:57 that was an awful sneeze. Maybe he's holding it from the start. ✌
なんて優しい音なんだろう。感動して涙が出てきました。
Perfect
Ray looks great!
That lil dies irae in there. I see you ray.
When you practiced too much Ysaye but it's too depressing to play as an encore.
Liam Shaughnessy thanks for pointing that out. I had to look it up, but I can’t ever miss it again. 💀 Very cool.
James Tsai which Ysaye do you mean? I want to get your reference. I found more than one composer/musician by that name. 🙏🏽
Will you release the sheet music for this?
Not that I could play it anyway, was just curious.
You got me :D

Someone else here who almost had to cry?
Beautiful as always dear Ray!💚👏👏👏
Amazing Ray! I watched the concert online from Brazil and a loved it! Congrats!

Beautiful. 💖
The 1 person who disliked this video must have been that cello lady in the background who looked completely unimpressed
Truee
My idol...
Beautiful solo version. I was hoping the quartet would join in, and we'd hear your other quartet version played live. but this is excellent :-)
Aaaa the harmonics are so nice!!!
Pure love 😍😍😍 what a sound
i still love the quartet waltzing : /. but this is fine
Beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
I might have said for other video of yours, but this is one of the best ahah Loved it so much!
"And the young people ask me, what are they marching for?
and I ask myself the same question.."
Wow!!! That's at the Hollywood Bowl. I saw that place when my siblings brought me on a tour of Hollywood. Btw, it's my first time to see you in white coat.
wuw those fingers !
Wish I was there 😭
아름답다
I love what you did with this!
Wow
Any Matilda here?
Nah, just me..
I want the sheet music so bad!!!
I like the phasing!
Ayyyyy Ben Hong in the background
he's so good looking here, wtf
this is not the song of my youth...i came expecting to enjoy a little SaCrALIgIOus laugh...and i left...crying???...how??? 🥺
Hey Ray, for some reason I was expecting you to make a 2set violin reference during your performance, which was beautifully executed
Wow that’s such a sad story
💜
I am soooo sad that the Vivaldi 4 seasons live was removed of RUclips. It was my favorite version of this concerto.
Ray...I am thinking we should probably get married. You are too cute and talented to resist😊
Me and ray duet. I would be amazed
Wow ~~
You are a Australian!
ultimate flex
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
wow his 26 hours of daily practices are really paying off
영화배우 해도 잘 어울릴듯~👍
Can I get the score somewhere for this? I love it! I won't be able to play it properly soon, but I'll strive for it
Less is more Ray. Just because you're a genius dont feel pressured into "over-flourishing" everything, there's a good chap.
😭😭😭
is there a sheet music for this absolutely incredible
WHO CAN SHARE NOTES?
Australia's a town?
And England is a city.
He looks EXHAUSTED haha.
