Here’s some beautiful music to bring you comfort and joy 🎶
The backstory:
Julio and I were meant to perform in Taipei & Kaohsiung on June 5 & 6 this year but due to a recent surge in cases, we had to postpone our recitals to a later date (TBD as of this moment). Since we've still been rehearsing every day (such is the life of a musician!), we thought it would be nice to record a little clip of our rehearsal playing this beautiful piece.
Please enjoy :)

he even breathes with the violin! as a singer, im always astonished when musicians can make their instruments behave like the human voice, so so beautiful
You can't just drop this masterpiece without warning 😢🥰
It’s obviously not his
@@ape2533 ...thats not what they meant
Well, he just did
The passion this time is not in the brows, but in the shoulders!
I be sobbing :')
Me a cellist who always says the swan is better on the cello.
Ray chen: hold my beer.
Thanks for making me reconsider my instrument again
As a violinist, I want to say that the Swan really is also very beautiful on the cello 🙂. The cello is a gorgeous instrument. It’s those gems like Ray, he makes pieces such as this sounds so incredibly lovely. When ever I hear one of his videos I have to stop everything I’m doing, be still and just take in his performance.
As a violinist, I think the swan is better on the cello. The cello just has a special tone especially on the higher registers, and it makes a type of sound no other instrument can make.
@@jak.cr1ym Split the difference and have a violist do it.
@@seanmcghee2373 😁
I think it sound best on the viola.
Violin is super good! Violinist is even better!! Ray is super super❤
Can you hear silk?
Yes, you can. **shows them this video**
Also, can we thank Julio for collaborating once again with Ray? That piano just perfection.
Julio is incredible. He would accompany me in lessons when I was at Juilliard Pre-College, he was just a masters' student at the time, but even in our rehearsals his guidance was unquestionably world-class
ray: has recorded several albums, world soloist, accomplished violinist
me: still trying to figure out how to move my tuning pegs
Easy, hand over your violin to your teacher. Nothing to it. ;-)
I ended up bending my bridge so we are in the same boat😁
@@saiprabhamittal2419 I busted a bridge before and it flew so yep understandable have a nice day XD
Wait. Those things turn? I thought we were just supposed to turn the little screws on the other end.
Twist
Bravo!
Every time I hear this, I'm reminded of Yuzuru Hanyu's figure skating exhibition routine from a few years back, pre-COVID. This rendition would have been a magical addition to that routine.
Yes, now I want to watch his skate next!
Yes!
A Ray-Yuzu collab, yes!
Discovering this right before Christmas is the real gift. Amazing performance, Ray and Julio!
This is one of the definitions of perfection
As a cellist I approve
Composers and musicians create the most beautiful music when they see the beauty and ugliness of life and accept it the as the way it is as they know the love they long for will never come
When I saw this video I got so excited I literally ran to get my earphones and just sat down to dive into the absolute melancholic beauty of a piece. Thanks Ray!
Weird thing. It doesn't seems to be perfect. But also it doesn't try to be. It is a very intimate recording, that describes your characters perfectly.
I am overwhelmed with joy seeing Ray’s new video, especially this time he plays one of my favourite pieces.
When an artist makes his instrument sing, that’s when magic happens! Bravo! Classical beauty! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
He plays flawlessly and almost makes me want to cry.
A very bright rendition , yet as warm as cello. amazing as always, Ray !
Jack Black to Lawrence: “It’s perfect, you’re perfect”
The World to Ray: “It’s perfect, you’re perfect”
Ray, everything you play is so beautiful and touching. No word can describe it. We can only feel it.
Dear Ray you are the best on our planet👋👋👋👋👋❤❤❤
Gorgeous! Tho I do admit I had war flashbacks to Brett and Eddy’s cello versions 🤣
omg me too HAHAHAHAH😂
This was really nice. I had a busy day and this just calmed me down a bit… thanks ☺️
Браво великолепно звучит Сен-Санс,🌞🔥💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎻😽🐈 здоровья успехов счастье и творческого вдохновения 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This may be one of my favorite pieces of all time, and of course I am well familiar with the cello in the melodic role, so without fail when Ray comes in with the high, dulcet tones of the violin I am always taken aback - but not for long. You can just let it wash over you, like the silver rippling water under a moonlit night. Absolutely gorgeous.
明晚原本能夠在國家音樂廳欣賞Ray的演出，因為疫情而延期確實讓人感到有些失落~
不過真的謝謝Ray，今晚我們的心因你們的演奏而再次溫暖
Man, I love this song and his playing.
Every time I listen to this masterpiece, I am often left with tears in my eyes! Thank you so much for playing this beautifully, Mr. Julio and Mr. Chen!
I teared up to the point a teardrop went down my cheek. SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Wow, as a cellist (who is quite sensetive when it comes to high notes) this is quite hard to say for me, but that sounds extremely beatiful!
Dlaczego to jest takie piękne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It takes me a while to appreciate any music I hear properly. Somehow clicking the video instantly made me like this.
The ending was so beautiful it gave me gosebumps
I never expected a Ray Chen x Yuzuru Hanyu crossover like this. This does bring a smile to my face, though. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful piece in the midst of these bleak times :-)
I can literally see the delayed single axel flashing before my eyes ◡̈
I love Hanyu's skating too. Johnny Weir & Yebin Mok also skated to this.
I super love this piece 🥰 whenever i hear this it reminds me of Yuzuru Hanyu's gala performance at Pyeongchang Olympics way back 2018. Thank you Ray!
The vibrato and everything sounds amazing
I love your facial expressions so much! That shows your love for the music. Beautiful!
I hope the situation becomes better and you will be able to perform 🙂
My mother was a concert cellist and this always reminds me of her. Lovely, Ray.
Just taking a moment to acknowledge how beautiful this little tune is.
That little descending line the pianist does at the end was so nice. Great job all around
Very nice Ray ❤ I really like the way you put the emotion in the song 👏👍
Very beautiful. Thank you, Ray Chen.
Brilliant! Love that Ray shows the emotions on his face when he plays
My comment: I really see that both musicians are very talented, nonetheless the real GENIUS here is the composer, Camille Saint-Saens!!! To create such a piece of music and transport us to a place that is out of this world in such a delicate and beautiful manner is simply beyond our human comprehension... GREAT WORK AND AN AMAZING MASTERPIECE!!!
Every single note is heavenly beautiful
Thank you Ray 😍😍😍🥰🥰 and Julio 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow, was not expecting the tears threatening to spill from my eyes 😂😭
Julio Elizade playing is marvelous! You are perfect playing together. Thank you
(Edit: it's Elizalde. I forgot an l)
Sublime interpreptation! Bravo!
Love Ray’s sensational musicality and the unique vibrato that brings violin to life!
Mmm so good, I’m a cellist but I still love this piece and I knew Ray would play it lovingly!
Meraviglioso
He was playing so good even he was impressed
The best rendition is by Yo-Yo Ma: nothing that would disturb there, not too much and too little. The music is bringing you somewhere up in the sky. Very romantic piece 🥰
Tears of joy for such beauty you guys brought into the world today! What artistry and brilliance you shared with us! From the bottom of my soul, thank you!
Fluid sounds that fill my heart. Tugs at the heartstrings and incredible 'cooling' effects on a hot day for me. Standing ovation and kudos to 2 admirable musicians. ❤❤❤
Ray chen is playing one of my fav piece😭
How wonderful. I skated to this many years ago. Brilliant violin & piano playing!
Absolutely beautiful.
thanks ray/julio
One of my favorite pieces !! ❤️❤️ Sublime !
(For me, 'Le cygne' sounds beautiful yet so sad.)
So beautiful! Thank you
this is so calm
The Swan is always my favourite violin piece
It's a Cello piece tho
@@hungryfordog2469 oops i meant the violin version
completely forgot it was for cello
Bravo, Ray Chen's sound is so warm.
That was sublime. Thank you.

Beautiful! Thanks.
This is beautiful. Thank you Ray!
The 2 of you are perfection. Thank you.
