I was like 13 years old when I first heard this sonata and had a tremendous impact in me, it became one of my all time favorites. I feel that hearing this interpreted by Ray is one of the best gifts life has ever given me. Ray is undoubtedly an amazing virtuoso, but what makes him so special is that, besides being a wonderful, wonderful person, he plays from his very core and soul. He reaches for your heart and either squeezes it or holds it in the most beautiful way.
@@HuyHoang-bw8lz Hello Huy, you know, I used to like ASM's playing a lot, but lately have fallen out of love with her playing ....for several reasons....
Reading the first comments I realize, if you're not a twoset violin follower, you won't understand half of the comments and classical music jokes here and everywhere. I follow them for a long time now so, it's time well spent... That and of course violin PRACTICE! 😀
Go for it, Rob! I specialize in teaching adult violin students, and it is so rewarding to see the pleasure it gives them to be able to play the violin. My oldest so far was 81 when he started, and he learned well enough to complete book 4 Suzuki.
I am not encouraged to learn violin because according to my family I will sound horrendous as a beginner 😅 ..told them you all will not be at home whien I practise anyway! 😂

Kreisler's edition, so this is the 20th century version. Plus the fact that it was written in the 700s doesn't mean it has to be played in that period's style, that's a common stereotype artists nowadays know to avoid in many case. If you want baroque's renditions look for them, don't expect every artist's vision to coincide with your historical knowledge
@@diegeigergarnele7975 knowing what the composer or author of any media will always benefit the end result no matter what interpretation the artist shows the audience
I come watch Ray play this beautiful piece of music when I feel awful and it heals me. In music like this there is no room for pettiness, grudges, or small minded arguments. There is just the music. It carries me away.
I first watched this because I was crushing on Ray in his video with TwoSet - now I've come to genuinely love this piece and violin concertos in general
I’n working on a scholarship essay while listening to this for the first time and that was the worst mistake of my life...my god...Once that cadenza came on, my full attention was on to Ray’s playing. It felt like I was in a trance. Jesus christ.
Whenever I write with this on, the forlorn atmosphere infects my writing. It's insane. This is one of the few pieces of any art/literature that can bring tears to my eyes. Played wonderfully by Ray Chen. I usually go back and forth between Anne-Sophie Mutter and Ray Chen on this piece.
Ray is my favorite interpreter of pieces with some darkness and drama to them. The way he plays the fast trill part, I can imagine the Devil himself playing it to Tartini.
Now that Ray is a bit older, a more masculine bravura appears in his playing, which I find really caps off his artistry. He is playing from the soles of his feet, rather from his head now.
This is my favorite interpretation. His playing is just sweet like caramel but his passion makes it’s feel like he really has sold his soul to the devil. This cadenza made me feel authentic fear. I had to look over my shoulder; I’m watching this at night.
Ray is such an incredible musician. His playing has such a full and rich sound to it too... clearly some who has mastered his potential well and respects the instrument he plays as well as the music.
For anyone interested, this is a translation of the Dutch at the end of the video (just because the narrator calls Ray a beast tbh): Violin player Ray Chen and the Devil's Trill sonata by Giuseppe Tartini, arranged for violin and string orchestra, and the string orchestra was here the Amsterdam Sinfonietta lead by concert master Candida Thompson. *You need to be a bit of a beast to play this piece like this.* Ray Chen, who by now has been upstairs, up the stairs, and already down the stairs, two, three steps at a time, and he reports to the ensemble again. I will now reveal that you will hear some more about this soloist, Ray Chen, together with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta.
Ray is one of the few musicians I've seen play this piece with such emphasis on the high note at 13:27 and it just evokes so much more emotion. A powerful culmination that explodes with passion and I am LIVING for it. Can't get enough of this rendition.
Ray is such an amazing storyteller... I can always SEE the Music when he plays. Such an experience, this also happens in his rendition of the Tchaikowski Concerto, where he describes a hero (in an interview about his interpretation)
I've listened to many other recordings of this, and very few manage to capture the intensity and bravura that Ray does. This will likely remain my "reference recording" for a long time.
After listening to this extraordinary performance, I need to share that Ray looks just like my dad who passed at age 26, a young and promising Chinese-Japanese violinist and conductor. Just wanted to express how much meaning it added to the extreme beauty of this performance.
when i first listened to this piece, i was very bored out, but then i didn't even notice that im still continuing listening and watching ray play, until i reached half way through the video
This kind of repertoire and chamber setting turns out to be perfect for Ray. Outstanding musicianship and sound production here, and more controlled mannerisms than usual. Reminiscent of the great ensemble playing by Gidon Kremer and his Baltica group. I greatly look forward to more of this kind of playing from Ray.
I'll be honest, I was playing this video to check the sound quality of my speakers and then let it play in the background while I did other things. You know it's good when it strikes your attention and focus and you immediately wander back to watch the rest. Never heard of this piece before btw but that was wonderful. I'm a new fan Ray!
En las propias palabras de Tartini: “Cuán grande fue mi asombro al escuchar una sonata tan maravillosa y tan hermosa, tocada con un arte e inteligencia tan grandes, como nunca había concebido en mis más atrevidos vuelos de fantasía. Me sentí embelesado, transportado, encantado: me faltó el aliento y desperte. Como es posible mensurar esta belleza de interpretacion a cargo de RAY CHEN ????
2 months of self taught, 4 months with a violin teacher. I can do the first 2 mins of this piece and I feel proud (Im a metal guitarist and bassist for 2 years and pianist for almost a year)
That description, it makes me remember the time I heard a very beautiful melody in a dream. I woke up and it was still in my mind...but it just disappeared the moment I touched my violin. I couldn't remember it anymore, it was just there a second ago, but I just can't seem to remember it.
It´s so beautiful that brings tears to your eyes, I can´t stop listening to it, listening to everything Ray Chen plays and does. I do not live in Europe or USA, or Australia, all I have are the videos he uploads, so I honestly hope he continues doing it, most of the simple humans in the world just can admire him through videos. So unfair.
Wow, I almost feel guilty for watching such a noble and valuable your music with no strings attached! Thank you for sharing such incredibly high quality concert video!🙏🏻✨👑🎻🌞🏆💖
The first time I discovered Ray, it's through this performance, The Devil's Trill. After looping this song so many times, I always end up loving this performance and discover a lot of new things to love as well.
The larghetto isn't too technically difficult but it is almost impossible to imbue the emotion into it that he does. Every other movement is both technically and emotionally difficult so... serious respect for playing it so beautifully
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎻he will inspire a whole new breed /gen ... talented/good looking....rather see younger gen blowing up on tik tok for this .. than whatever else they do! Excited to see what is to come for classical music in the future. 2015 was such an epic year too! Massive for so many good things/manifesting and in general, lots of love all around back then! Take me back ! So that when I was listening to classical then when studying (probably would have found this much sooner if not that same year) I was going to UNI that I didn't end up making a wrong choice in who I surrounded myself with and have been working my way back there in a sense now - ever since. And not even drugs or bad choices...lol just me giving and helping and caring too much/ forgetting what I love or who I was.... I digress.
I don‘t even dare to voice my other opinions in the fear of being misunderstood... but Ray, your interpretation is so unique on this piece. The harmony you have with your fellow musicians is indescribable.❤️
Maravilloso,un attista del violin, sin duda alguna Ray Chen, es el mejor, hace magia con su violin....en horabuena soy tu fan🎉 técnica impecable, gran talento, gran pasión en la interpretación 😊
Like always, so fierce! So full of feeling! Tenderness and force have never been paired so perfectly as they are in your performances. You bring such story and relevance to music we'd all do well to know better.

I was so absorbed by the music that I put my ukulele on my shoulder and pretended it was violin... now I can't get my brother to delete the video 🙄
JAJAJAJAJ it worth it
Jajaja that was funny! Sorry about your dinner! Jajaja
Mom: I allow it
During the cadenza, it really felt like the Devil was on stage. Incredible
It felt like he was playing the first, second, and viola section all at once😱.
