Omg fellow Laufey enjoyer

Niccolò Paganini was famous for his impassioned music. His interpritaion was not always note perfect, but was so beautiful that his performance became definative for a generation. Crowds went wild at his concerts. Young women passed out and fell from second story windows as his carriage drove by. Lets give Mr Ray Chen the credit he deserves. His music is bright, fun and very engaging. Having heard The Four Seasons for two thirds of a century, this stands out. Don't miss his performances.

Paganini did not make this piece 💀 It's Antonia Vivaldi

I didn't say Paganini wrote The Four Seasons. I said he was famous for his interpretations. He was known as a violinist before his compositions were performed. To fill in the last question, he died broke.

This to my ears is even better than the original version of Vivaldi summer. I love how he knew how to speed up, slow down, drag and enhance the spirit out of each individual notes that was suppose to bring maximum climax to this piece. My favourite variation! 🤩

I've never experienced such expressive violinist, my goodness. I've got chills.

@hlcepeda

It's what happens when a great artist shares themselves with their audience. Many years ago, I watched a documentary covering a piano competition; many young and very talented artists looking to make it big. A few of the pianists were filmed during a break, discussing amongst themselves how they should present their respective performances; _strict technical correctness_ versus _emotion and passion driving their playing (believe it or not),_ which clearly implied that one could only play "properly" if they did not let emotion get in the way... and vice versa. Their discussion made me a little sad... and a little angry: I'm not a musician, but I had always thought that to be a worthy soloist, ensemble player, or even a principal player in an orchestra, one had to attain virtuosity, and that virtuosity could not exist without impressive technical skills _and_ a passion -- almost necessarily unrestrained -- for what one is playing... with passion (in my view) needed to lift the music beyond what's printed on the music sheet. It's obvious that Mr. Chen's wonderful presentation of "Summer" is due to his passion for what he is playing.

I have heard this piece played many many times, but this one stands out! How I wish I could have seen it live, it's the strongest interpretation I have heard and this is what I like! I hope I can play as passionate as this.

OMG Ray Chamber music Chen is so much fun! Such a character and he brings out the character of the other musicians as well. I always love how expressive Ray is when he plays because it helps us interpret the possible meaning behind the music the way he does, its important. There will always be an argument as to who was technically the best violinist of this generation, and he is squarely in that argument. But in terms of best soloist/performer, performing with character and expressivity, with interpretations that enhance the music and his personality, Ray has it hands down!

Sounded unreal. I like because spring and summer are so fervent time, summer specially like crazy busy and violent time in nature. This showed realistically how it is co-operation and what can be achieved by working together

Ray, you're infectious enthusiasm is a testament to your immense talent, your profound understanding of every note in a score and to your warm comradery with your fellow musicians. It all shines through to me! Much love to you! ♥

I can’t have been the only one headbanging to this performance…

I’ve always loved this performance ❤. The music is amazing, you with a charming way to play violin, and other performers were great too. All of you did a great job. Well done ❤

Professionals can be recognized by the speed and precision that combine to create a delight for sensitive ears. unbelievably fantastic

Absolutely epic. Haven't watched many concertos like this, but noticed immediately he's not only performing the solos, but also conducting the piece more or less

This is the 1st time I've seen you perform and you are without a doubt an awesome violinist. GOD Bless! Granny from Phoenix, Arizona.

I loved hearing the double bass in this piece. Sometimes it is drowned out by other instruments but the musician supported this performance very well. Bravo! 🤩🎼🎵🎶🎻❤️

What an energetic performance! Real joy to watch and listen! Thanks! 🥰

Powerful. I love how the musicians' bodies sing with the music.

I love this performance! So energetic, so much skill, not just Ray, who is awesome, but everyone else! I guess the fact that you are standing, instead of sitting, makes it more evident :) it's crazy, but I never realized how much skill is needed to play this song until I saw you all playing it...

I love your enthusiasm and talent. I’m glad I found you on TwoSetViolin’s channel. Been following you since. Keep motivating and thank you for sharing! ❤

So intense, almost ferocious, I love it! Also conducting, good work!!

It's so lovely. I've shown it to my 8-year's old daughter who sometimes struggle to practice. It is so inspiring. Best greetings from Poland.

so kind of ray to showcase growing violinists!

It's a great privilege to listen to such a great artist. Thank you Ray, God bless you🙏

Ray your talent, passion n style is unmatched. Kudos to the others too who did a superbly awesome job as well ! Thank you for sharing such beautiful music which this world definitely needs a lot more of instead of all the hatred being spread.

I loved the energy of the whole performance. I also loved the smaller group, felt more meaningful than a big orchestra. ❤❤

You can see how they communicated at the last few bars with the head bobs (and Ray smilling), really greatly done. Hearts.

An absolutely original interpretation. This movement is not a depiction of a storm, as in most conventional performance, but a vivid portrayal of the psychotic state that a storm can induce in a sensitive artist. Bravo!

Brilliant! Well done that man. He brought so much life to the tune ❤️

such an inspiration, definitely excited for the Suzuki book 2 concert!

Incredible! Unbelievable! It feeds my soul! Thank you! 🙏

So brilliant! BRAVO!!

That was fantastic! The Four Seasons has always been a favorite of mine to listen to, and which of the seasons I enjoy the most will vary throughout the year. Great job Mr. Chen, I think you may have a shot at this music thing! 😀

This is utterly joyous.

Wonderful energy here.

Fantastic workmanship. Thank you ❤
