How can you make jokes like that when your head is telling you that in just 2 minutes you're gonna be in front of hundreds of people and critics watching you, every step, little error, every out of tune note, every bow movement? This was a really rich experience to watch in a video. It may seem just a random backstage video, but I felt for a moment 1% of your pressure, and I find these kind of videos really interesting because we always see the stage violinist but never the human violinist behind. Thank you, I'm delighted.

That’s what I’ve been thinking exactly. It’s mind boggling how well he can handle that pressure. I’d die from stress. And that’s why I’m not a world class concert musician

"Don't come in!.. I'm naked!" continues to laugh maniacally

As a musician myself my nervousness climaxes how closer he gets to the point of going on stage. When he stood at the side of the stage my heart was pounding :D

Agreed, I can't imagine being a soloist. Being in the orchestra already makes me nervous!

This was so interesting for me. I've never been backstage right before a show before. I actually felt nervous for you although I was also surprised that you still feel nervous.

Honestly, this man is reinventing how we approach classical music. I love it.

I am far from being a soloist, but the feeling of having to go on stage, and the relief when you are done must be universal xD

“Wow so many people!” “Sandwich time!” “Say hi to the camera!” Hi camera This is great!

So this is it! I remember my feelings before every concert starts. Arrive at the hall, grab some snacks and drinks, buy the program book, sit on the audience seat, waiting for the music. Those thrill, excitement, expectation. It's from completely opposite side but I think there are some commons. I remenber hearing his violin behind the stage door, when I was sitting in the front line. This is so real :) It reminds me of many things🎵

So calming to know that someone as awesome as you also goes through the same feelings that we beginners go through before a performance...I screwed up my exam piece for grade 4 because I was nervous 😟

My teachers have always told me that the best defense against nervousness is being very well-prepared. I have always found that to be quite true. Of course, there's always going to be some degree of nerves for almost any player, but a little bit actually helps your performance.

He's such a little kid at heart! It's so cute.

this video conveys soo much nervousness &excitement energy..😂 it really gets extra nervous when you‘re in a waiting room alone.. and it feels much more comfortable to have friend or someone to talk to before the concert even though you know you‘re gonna be performing a solo.

Him changing his accent when in America is just so cute 😂

Ray Chen is really funny! Keep up the good work on this channel!

Very interesting!

You need to continue making more backstage videos! Love these

So cool 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing that with us 🎉

Thank you do much for sharing this moment with us :)

Ray always looks great and I love his voice, outstanding performances and great sense of humor.

Awww Ray thank you so much for sharing this with us. You’re so amazing! All the best from Australia!

LOVE this! I’ll remember this at my recital in a few weeks. SO FREAKING NERVOUS and I’m an amateur.

I'm glad you can still play, the wall thing is calming, and that you ride in a Tesla model X, rock out Ray Chen 🎻🤗🎼👍🤘

I Also Punch Air as A WarmUp...

That was great fun! Used to love going to Davies Hall to see concerts when I lived in Santa Cruz, 100km south of San Francisco. The SFO also used to put on concerts in nearby San Jose as well, which were easier to get to, but didn't have that cachet that Davies Hall has.

Fantastico , eres una persona real , no pierdas tu humor eso te caracteriza como una gran persona Grande Maestro

Love you man you are among the reason why i still love playing the turturing instrument and to be oneday like you hopefully attend one lovely concert played by these golden fingers much love 😘

I would love to play this video on the big screen in my Son's orchestra class, then have you walk into the class and have some musical fun with the kids. You are truly an inspiration. Keep up the great work Rey, cheers!

Oh, the excitement before the performance! I felt it with my whole body!

I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing.

"Don't come in, I'm naked", fly check" 😂😂😂 Ray, you made my day !

Such a mental atmosphere!! Ray is such a pro!

I'm seeing Ray's Recital this Sunday Nov 3 in SF again actually. Cannot wait!!!!

This guy is so...nice. And a fantastic violinist

I play in a youth regional group and backstage for us is like a mad house.

Para mim, melhor violinista da atualidade.

I've been in many piano competition when i was young and I definitely nervous everytime. I can even feel how nervous you are rey and maybe I am even more nervous than you XD. But one thing that I find can help me prepared backstage is jokes and comedies. I remember on several occasion when I was left laughing and filled with joy just before I went on stage bcs of my friends are joking or telling me funny stories, it somehow soothe me and make me somehow feel more confident and play smoothly

He was the youngest winner of our Belgian Queen Elisabeth concours in 2009.

Even if I never play in a stage like this, I remember my nervousness before I performed. Now I don't perform, I hardly play piano again... but I miss the feelings of this achievement.

Love it!
