And me

I'm learning this piece at the moment and I was a bit proud of how I played it, I thought it sounded pretty ok. And then I came here and I realised that I actually sound like crap haha. He just has such an incredible quality of sound and he makes it look easy to play violin because there are never really any bits where it sounds scrappy and bad (apart from the audio freaking out but that's not Ray's playing).

If you think you don't measure up to this performance then listen to Maxim Wengerov play it and weep. His performances literally move me to tears. They are sublime.

Don't be hard on yourself. I'd love to play this. Remember he's probably a prodigy and his instrument is a Stratavarius.

Ray's vibrato so powerful! One time mine will give like his....so lovely! The melody by how his express this piece is without words.

Just listening a few seconds of your tone production makes me understand how you could snag the 1st prize in the Queen Elisabeth. Very sweet and wonderful sound. You will have a very long and prosperous career.

So sensitively played without the usual sobbing sound most soloists seem to choose. Beautiful!!

Me encanta escucharte, tienes muchisimo talento....llegaras muy lejos como musico....y ademas tienes magia en tus manos... maravilloso 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

One of the best renditions on violin I have ever heard

So moved by this performance - if you close your eyes and just listen you can feel the all the emotions being poured into this piece. Thanks Ray and Julio for reawakening my passion for classical music and making me feel alive!

Beautiful. Love the dynamics. Intimate and warm.

Thank you Ray for sharing your gift with us. Absolutely breathtaking!

Ray Chen is the talent. I love this. Thanks Ray.

The best interpretation I have ever heard of this wonderful piece!!

Just what I needed to brighten my morning. Thank you.

Your tone quality is amazing! I love your interpretation--I've never seen the bowings you're using before and they work really well! I'll have to try them out sometime.

My personal Favorite version..so beautiful!

ooo Merci Monsieur de votre Talent et qu'une belle carrière se profile pour Vous . Courtoisement . ooooo

Please, my heart is melting!

I'm falling in love with the music😮😟💛

Wow Ray, I can’t decide whether to praise your performance or your beauty an elegance! I’ll go for both 😉

My kinda music while painting. Thank you for sharing your exceptional talent and beautuful Soul to the world.🙏

One of my favorite videos.

I have no words to describe how much I like this video.

Omg \[T]/ Now I know why my teacher tells me to look up your video's for listening. This is amazing!!!

Excelent violinist Ray Chen! Bravoooo!😊

Perfect and lovely, thank you.

Thank you so much Ray, I really really enjoyed watching you play this with such amazing passion and sensitivity and I really really love ❤️ it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Beyond beautiful, Ray...

Beautiful, beautiful sound!

🌟⚪🌟⚫Desde COLOMBIA SALUDOS y muchas gracias por compartir esa mágica Cancion. Me llena de regocijo y eleva mi espíritu . Muchas gracias.

Truly a beautiful piece and you nailed it.

Талант от Бога. Невозможно наслушаться

Your performance just cleared my soul of all sorrow... It must feel incredibly satisfying to play this

Beautiful! I love how you communicated with the pianist!🎻

Ray, I enjoy your fantastic talent on the violin, but I also enjoy seeing your wonderful personality shining through in the other videos of your travels and of teaching students. I hope you don't mind having a grandmotherly-type as a fan.

sooo beautiful … I'm nearly crying

너무 좋당...beautiful 😍

大好きな曲です😍 ありがとうございます😊

Beautiful and smooth Ray!

Hi Ray a big big thank you for this beautiful rendition of Méditations...and in such a way as the learner can learn alot! I toyed with up bow start and was delighted to follow all your bowings! It adds so much to the piece. Your performance is hugely inspiring. God bless you! Georgina (Ireland)

I totally agree with Kobolto. Ray Chen often surprises me with great interpretations.

I love this seedling

Came to see to professional vibrato in action, stayed for the emotion in the sound (also, the bow technique was solidddddd)

I'm starting with you.great job chen

I really need the professional recording version of this song... Thanks!
