@@gimbapco1313 Ahh, I remember that too. Sorry, I don't watch those two. I just clicked because Ray Chen was on the thumbnail and title. (But I do know about those two, specially Lily. Just never watched her videos or streams.)
Thank you Ray for letting us have a glimpse of what it is to be a world class musician! All that in a humorous and not self indulgent way, keep being awesome mate.
I don't really comment on videos, and I can't believe that I would ever become one of those "I'm early!" commenters and I don't really want to become one of those people. I just want to say that I really enjoy these Backstage with Ray videos. You're really inspirational and also funny and human at the same time, showing the world how you deal with performance nervousness, which is always helpful. If you are really feeling sick, give yourself as much of a break as you can and practice, because I've been told that practicing makes you get better faster!
Watching this after a terribly demoralizing session at orchestra rehearsal. My third time going for orchestra practice and I feel like I'm the least experienced musician in the group and am feeling so stressed out.
6:12 Glow in the dark paint arrows pointing to the stage door because too many soloists could not find the door in the moment of panic in the dark before a performance.
I was at your concert!! Sooo cool to watch now what was going on while I was sitting up in the audience haha, the concert and your performance was inspiring and magical :D
Such a great post. As an orchestral player myself, it's nice to see someone show the combination of pre-show backstage jitters and prepping ("am I getting sick?"), but also the great feeling when it's gone well and you have moved people. AND..it's over! :) :)
I'm pretty sure Ray it's definitely introverted, he has a lot of traits that indicates that. But I loved the video, to know that Even a world class violinist like him gets so nervous before he gets in action, makes him even more like us
@@StarFireHarmony its quite amazing how accents can change over time, for example gillian anderson of x files has an interchangeable british and american accent
Am I the only one, that also feels that nervousness in the the last minute before his performance? I mean I am a musician too and I think every musician knows that specific feeling in your stomach. And that's exactly, what I felt watching this😂😂
I wonder if Aaron Rosand watches the silly antics of his former student. I’m old school, but I must admit to laughing at some of his clownish stuff. Chen has a monstrous talent. And I admire how he inspires so many with his ready smile and genuine friendliness. But I truly hope that he continues to push himself to reach his full potential so that he will be regarded as one of the great artists of his time and not just a talented entertainer.
Most people on internet don't realise how hard is to play as a soloist, but those who play and study violin really enjoy this kind of back stage preparation, actors and actresses do this all the time but classical musicians don't have this... I really enjoy seeing him as a normal person but we know that he is not just a pretty face 🙂🙂🙂
The fact that Ray Chen was laughing and all before going on the stage meanwhile me who has stage fright and has to control my breath + be quiet everytime 😭
I wonder if Ray got a chance to meet with cellist Dahae Kim from the LA Phil. I went to go see the LA Phil in concert recently and she caught my attention right away.
Hello, I have a question, I hope someone can answer this. Is the "meet and greet" part of the program organized by the organizer? Or is it something that the soloist decides to do if there's time? Or is it dependent on the size of audience? I love watching violin concertos, if there's a chance of meeting the soloist at the end of the concert, that would make the whole experience a thousand times better.

We all know the only way to get to heaven is to play Caprice no. 5 at Kavakos speed
As it turns out, an apple pie a day does not keep the doctor away! ;-)
I've been a subscriber for a year and more :) i learnt and laugh a lot! Lol
YESSS RAYYYYY!! wait r u the forever lost Ling Ling?
This is nearly 8 minutes of Ray cracking dad jokes 😂.
IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU?!
Ray Chen well you certainly have the cap to carry it off :p

Gotta love him for that.XD

The Tzigane harp cadenza the harpist is playing in the beginning is actually really hard to play and the nightmare of every harpist in audition! 😂
Only the best to accompany the best.
Lmao she was probably playing it as a warm up
She is in the LA Phil
@@JamesLee-yn4wj she was, she retired this year :)
H3nessa damn, good for her though!
5:55 "Fly check."
I really need to start learning from the pros. I already went through at least two concerts with my fly open.
Whats a fly check

Almost 8 minutes of Ray flexing. Entertaining flexing.
It's good to know that amazing people like Ray also do those kind of funny conversations with them selves to relieve the stress, 😂😂
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger...or kills me more slowly. My thoughts exactly when I have school or recitals.
school is the world's worst recital.

Thank you Ray for letting us have a glimpse of what it is to be a world class musician! All that in a humorous and not self indulgent way, keep being awesome mate.
On behalf of woodwind players, screw EVERYONE that eats food backstage and is still able to play. Looking straight at you, Ray...
Thank you I’m a clarinetist
Brendon Phillips it’s really bad for brass too, the previous owner of my first trumpet didn’t wash it, and it was full of mouldy food
Nicola Dickinson but at least you can give your instruments a bath :(
PREACH!😂😂
As a non musician, I was thinking that it was a risky move to eat a sandwich while wearing his performance suit...
* Washes hands *
*Coughs in hands*
*Touches violin*
Ray omg
This hits worse on 2020
I always love this backstage videos😂😂!
AHHAHAHA
5:34 Did this world-famous virtuoso violin soloist just make an Undertale reference in front of my eyes?
This man may or may not be the perfect human.
Ray Chen "that's the extent of my skills"

Keep at it, you can do it!
I felt the same way! Keep practicing, it'll get better
keep do it! dont give up!! you can do it!!
Hey guys, I finally found Ling Ling, it's the boy at 7:41.
Ling Ling pronounces Saint-Saens that way?
He said "excellent" in front of the camera but in reality he was thinking "mediocre/half decent"
Keep hilarious in backstage, take-it-easy in staccato, yet serious in every pitchnote, your performance is 100% entertaining.

Nice one
Ray Chen the GOAT
"What doesn't kill me, kills me more slowly." Someone embroider that on a pillow for me. :P
I thought "why die slowly if you can die quickly" xD that record dude is so quotable!
なんて、サービス精神が旺盛なんでしょう。舞台に出る寸前までオフの彼なの？凄い切り替えで、超人的。貴重な動画をアップしてくださって、ありがとう!
You got my like for that "You are a sexy beast" line 😂😎👏
I'm shocked that I needed to look for this comment for so long ...
I thought he was going to say an apple a day keeps the violas away
I love dork Ray! Even the conductor is shaking her head haha
straight hair will make your bowing straight...
-An apple a day keep -*-Ling Ling-*- away-
Rather I'd want Ling Ling to possess me and maybe give me some of his skill
*cronch*
Cool!! Please do more of this kind of videos hehe 😊 so cool to see your activities backstage!! You are awesome Ray!!
The moment you walked on the stage - LOVE IT! I am so missing this, playing on a stage with an orchestra.
I was at your concert!! Sooo cool to watch now what was going on while I was sitting up in the audience haha, the concert and your performance was inspiring and magical :D
I can’t even tell you how much I wish I could see this guy perform live
5:33 “Boom, final boss” *Sans Undertale entered the chat*
So encouraging to see that even he gets nervous.

always start with the hair analogy lmao
Really love his pithy metaphors that connect his hair with his music.
Ray is going to be like the best violinist and dad
finding that lovely spot in Ravel's Tzigane at 1:54 was very nice to watch! Just violin and harp! :)
Very professional play violin all the best Ray Chen
That counting down from 5 makes me really nervous even though I am just sitting in front of my PC.
Why is ray chilling backstage giving me performance anxiety
I know right??
For minute 4:00 it's like everything around c :P
I don't have perfect pitch.
Got just relative ;-;
“Don’t come in I’m naked”
I died at that part lmao
Ray...check your fly!! Love your concerts!!
1:59 I think you made the harpist's day right then and there!
Oh my gosh this is so funny. Make more of these videos please Ray!
Ray really sounds American now huh. Then - 2:29 ..........nevermind
When he's with twoset, his accent comes back full force
@@chajang7292 I've been so confused since watching him with twoset, and been binging his videos trying to figure out if he's American or not.

Ray cited Bruce Lee (unintentionally or intentionally) very well. Honestly express yourself. He's doing that in spades!
Go cry into your monocle elsewhere

Love the toy story characters when the guy said toi toi toi 😂
Oh my god excited for his concert today in Toronto!
This video honestly is a WHOLE mood
Imagine one of the kid was like : Your intonation was off by 1/64th tone
I really hope to see Ray live one time.
In the mean time, more of these please!
Always amazing!
I enjoy your back stage video. You're Amazing soloist & teachers with wonderful personality. Bravo!!!
Please ray!!!!....Upload the score of waltzing maltida its sooo good!!
