Ray, are you a vampire, musically, on the outside and on the inside? (Korean-style compliment.) You don't get old!!! Just mature! Julio and Ray's old musical friendship shines through so brightly! You both are so Stunning!!!
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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. ❤❤❤
I don't know how to describe what your music does to me and many other people for sure. I listen to your videos over and over. This piece touches me so much because my grandfather played it and it was one of his favourites.
@OfficialRayChen Why thank you, Ray Chen. You are an amazing talent and so charming. Both my parents played in a symphony (her cello, him French horn), my Dad was a composer, conductor and taught music comp. and theory, first at UT Austin, then at UM Coral Gables. I miss those days growing up surrounded by musicians and other academics. I was blessed.
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!!!
What an awesome gift you so willingly share, there are no words to capture the feelings that come through when you play it truly is wonderful thank you for sharing❤❤
Thanks ❤️🤗✨ All the Love ❤️ All the Power 🕊️ When You play I am feeling I can touch Heaven 🙏🙏🙏 "The Swan" it was the last piece my Dad played... He is still playing, he uses my hands I am not a violinist, but I ❤ 🎻
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!
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 🥰
I'm so inspired by you! Actually, I'm feeling a bit depressed because violin has always been my favourite instrument, and I have learned how to play it for months, but now I'm occupied with my work and can't learn from my teacher anymore. It's been like almost a year now since I last played the violin. But I found this video, and it makes me want to play it again! Thank you❤
I loved watching you play this! It's like you're having a conversation with your violin and you slowly build to letting loose and singing freely together.

You both are so Stunning!!!
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
we have to treat instruments as extensions to our body. and violin is very close to the human voice
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 :')
Discovering this right before Christmas is the real gift. Amazing performance, Ray and Julio!
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
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

@@jak.cr1ym Split the difference and have a violist do it.
@@seanmcghee2373 😁
I think it sound best on the viola.
Bravo!

Yes, now I want to watch his skate next!
Yes!
A Ray-Yuzu collab, yes!
Ray, everything you play is so beautiful and touching. No word can describe it. We can only feel it.
As a cellist I approve of the violin version especially by my favorite violinist ray chen
WONDERFUL!! Julio is always great and now he is my wife's favorite!!
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!

Siempre disfruto tu música, muchas gracias querido Ray❤❤❤❤❤
I am overwhelmed with joy seeing Ray’s new video, especially this time he plays one of my favourite pieces.
So beautiful it touches my heart ❤️
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.
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.

Dlaczego to jest takie piękne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very bright rendition , yet as warm as cello. amazing as always, Ray !
❤so beautiful and good bowing
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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
Man, I love this song and his playing.
Very beautiful. Thank you, Ray Chen.
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. ❤❤❤
12/21、你演奏得好棒，我好喜歡聖桑的天鵝這首 太好聽了，優雅動聽
Best music in the world.
Very nice Ray ❤ I really like the way you put the emotion in the song 👏👍
So beautiful...
I don't know how to describe what your music does to me and many other people for sure. I listen to your videos over and over. This piece touches me so much because my grandfather played it and it was one of his favourites.
It takes me a while to appreciate any music I hear properly. Somehow clicking the video instantly made me like this.
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
Very emotional interpratation !❤
Ray Chen = the most expressive face in violin
Your music speaks where words can’t describe. Thank you for sharing your talents.
My mother was a concert cellist and this always reminds me of her. Lovely, Ray.

Wonderful 🥺I can't hold back the tears at the perfection of this song 🥺
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!
Love you, your light-hearted spirit, and your playing so much. To hear you play is a great gift! Bravo!
До чего же шикарно,срасибо Богу за ваш талант,за высшее мастерство❤❤❤
This is one of the definitions of perfection
I love your facial expressions so much! That shows your love for the music. Beautiful!

The ending was so beautiful it gave me gosebumps
Thanks ❤️🤗✨

When You play I am feeling I can touch Heaven 🙏🙏🙏
"The Swan" it was the last piece my Dad played... He is still playing, he uses my hands
I am not a violinist, but I ❤ 🎻
That little descending line the pianist does at the end was so nice. Great job all around
Love Ray’s sensational musicality and the unique vibrato that brings violin to life!
it's such a dream of mine to play this song in my violin!!!!
and you're an inspiration to me ❤
Brilliant! Love that Ray shows the emotions on his face when he plays
I'm a big fan of you two guys♡ and I was lucky enough to meet with you in Suzhou 3 years ago. You and Julio's Estrellita makes me fly ..
Mmm so good, I’m a cellist but I still love this piece and I knew Ray would play it lovingly!
Every single note is heavenly beautiful
So cool at age 73 I am taking the Stephen Righley piano 🎹 online class. Started on New Years. 2024. I am a zero hoping to play music.
WYCZUCIE, DELIKATNOŚĆ I SUBTELNOŚĆ TO WZRUSZA !
Un véritable chef d'œuvre en effet ❣️ Subjuguée par tant de beauté🕊️ 🎶💓🎶✨
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!
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 🥰
Just taking a moment to acknowledge how beautiful this little tune is.
So wonderfully sensitive and romantic!❤
How wonderful. I skated to this many years ago. Brilliant violin & piano playing!
Love the natural bowing
Wow, was not expecting the tears threatening to spill from my eyes 😂😭
Breathtakingly beautifu, as a fellow violinist who loves this piece so much, I only hope I can come close to this quality one day, thank you
The vibrato and everything sounds amazing
Thank you for sharing. :)
I LOVE RAY AND JULIO 'S PLAY.....😌
👏👏👏So beautiful, i felt i was in heaven. So gifted 🥰
One of my favorite pieces !! ❤️❤️ Sublime !
(For me, 'Le cygne' sounds beautiful yet so sad.)
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!
I love this piece very much!!! It's so beautifully played🥺🤍
Yo-yo Ma and Ur playing are my favourite 🥺🤍
++, it is inspiring to watch this man's face expressions when playing this tune :)
Truly a treat... Enjoyed greatly... Thank yous going to both interpreters... 🎶.
How much feeling from both of them, it's fantastic and I hear it over and over again. Ray's face a single surrender to these tones🎶💓🎻
Ray chen is playing one of my fav piece😭
I'm so inspired by you!
Actually, I'm feeling a bit depressed because violin has always been my favourite instrument, and I have learned how to play it for months, but now I'm occupied with my work and can't learn from my teacher anymore.

Thank you❤
The last thirty seconds were the best!
Браво!!!Браво!!!!
I hope the situation becomes better and you will be able to perform 🙂
He was playing so good even he was impressed
Bliss! What a composition, what an interpretation! 😊❤
Julio Elizade playing is marvelous! You are perfect playing together. Thank you
(Edit: it's Elizalde. I forgot an l)
lly avait une chose tres triste.
Le doux son de violon joue par
Ray ma guer!
Ray Merci beaucoup!
I loved watching you play this! It's like you're having a conversation with your violin and you slowly build to letting loose and singing freely together.
When an artist makes his instrument sing, that’s when magic happens! Bravo! Classical beauty! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes
Sublime interpreptation! Bravo!
Never heard this on violin before. Bravo!
Thanks to Ray for this peaceful piece and hope everything will be fine this year.
I would love to see Ray live. Incredible artist.
That smile on the last note though 🥲
A Ray of sunshine to brighten up our days! As always, beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
弦音直入我心扉❤
一点带入感都没有，把曲谱拉飞了，没有正确诠释曲谱。就这。。。。。。
Bravo, Ray Chen's sound is so warm.
Bravo !!💐
Beautiful phrasing and color changes, bravo 👏 mastery revealed in a simple piece
Dang! I just noticed Ray seriously uses the entire bow..
Love this piece! Lovely!
Bravo, and that's a modern violin.😮😮😮
