@@humanbeing1429 Not sure which one he's using here, but he's been loaned 3 Strads by the Nippon Music Foundation. He uses the Joachim 1715 Strad in a lot of his performances so it might be the Joachim here.

This is so funny! It really just proves how musicians can play so many different roles, and share the passion of music through so much fun. One day, I hope to do something like this.
@@wallacememberships Yeah I mean at hard pieces you have to concentrate on two things.Playing perfectly and walking😀.But really you can get used to it.I used to practice it in conservatory.
Conductors actually need to know how to play 4 instruments. Since violin’s rank is high I’ll bet any conductor knows how to play one, including piano and a few other instruments. How do you lead a whole team of musicians if you don’t know how the instrument they are playing works?
For this, you need to have experience playing the -1st violin part of Bach Double -2nd violin part of Bash Double -conductor experience -concert master experience and the ability to mix them all at once Good luck!
Es zeigt wieviel Spaß klassische Musik machen kann. Es ist höchste Zeit das auch klassische Musik wieder genau das vermittelt, sie ist voll von Leben, Freude und Kommunikation und weniger voll der Zeit in der das Publikum den Moment abpassen muß in dem es husten darf. Danke dafür❤.
Wow, what a difference in sound the violin makes between the principal 2nd's violin and Ray's Strad. Not saying the skill of the player isn't important but it's clear that the sound quality literally changes from an amateur to professional sound between the two violins. It really is night and day. Never realized the importance that a strong violin brings for the player.
There's also the fact that you'll have a better playing on your own instrument. Also this violin might not be a violin for soloist (I don't know how to say it otherway in english) so a violin with a stronger and higher volume output, so you've to find other way to make the violin sound loud enough and that impact the sound ^^ but yes for sure, the Strad sound so nice. The principal 2nd violin must have been "Am I playing on... a STRAD?!!"
In the head of the principal second violin: "i play on a stradivarius, I play on the ray chen's stradivarius , if only I could steal it. He's nit gonna see it"
One of my very favourite concertos played so well and having the piss taken out of it at the same time!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Clever musicians all of them.
Thank you so much Ray, I really really enjoyed watching you and your friend playing and playing about. It was great fun. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
RAY RAY RAY CHEN..I can't wait to see you in SF on Nov 3 recital. Your youtube vids and the comedy thing with the girl student screaming did you just touch me...over the top...uncontrollable laughter ...your other orchestral comedies....finally...all those decades of orchestral playing coming to life...!! I'm an older amateur violin player and you make my day EVERY DAY..blessings to you dear human dynamo channeling Asian culture in a most profound way and soooo much talent. Thank you for staying humble -- THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT! --- With love!!!!! - P
I knew you by Sara Ott on your "Off stage" video, and you guys are talking about classical music concert, I totally agree with it, And you guys young classical musician have to propagate classical music much more. I enjoyed this video too, I'm rock guitar player but I love you and Sara's attitude. This is your century, Keep it up my friend!
Nice to see Diego Matheuz up to some tricks. Pleasant job he did with MSO recently in Melbourne - without a net, I mean score, in front of him. Keep up the fun music Mr Chen & friends.

Musicians have the best humor, they are doing the funnyest things without saying anything while making amazing music.
S.J.W.Bach, I agree!!!!!😁
Imagine if concertos were all like this...
S.J.W.Bach I don’t remember making you.
J.S. Bach nah he's your great great grandson

The story goes that Ray never got his Strad back.
He's got a strad??
@@ランダムドイツ人 yeah
Original strad or a high end copy?
@@humanbeing1429 Not sure which one he's using here, but he's been loaned 3 Strads by the Nippon Music Foundation. He uses the Joachim 1715 Strad in a lot of his performances so it might be the Joachim here.
@@humanbeing1429 legit ones.
Those lucky front row violinists that get to play that Strad.
da96103 so true
she was the second's principal tho
IKR I’m crying 😭
Those kids , They are now playing in top orchestras all over the world !!🌎
ou yesss...
Now THAT's how you play Musical Chairs properly... :)
justannathechannel i
Yup... *PROPERLY*🤣
666th like
justannathechannel With a strad i guess
but it was musical standing and two chairs
Never underestimate the conductors guys. There is a reason they leading the whole damn thing lmao
I would have take that strad and run lol
Niccolo Paganini Cuz why did you gamble your strad anyways?😂
@@melancholicruby2873 It was an Amati he gambled LOL
@@mohanjones7554 Either if it was a Strad or an Amati, It still expensive, that Paganini would still be considered crazy for such an act.

@@melancholicruby2873 so? Which was it?

This is so funny! It really just proves how musicians can play so many different roles, and share the passion of music through so much fun. One day, I hope to do something like this.
You will, m8 :D
So impressive that even though Ray was pushed down the podium, his violin playing goes on perfectly undisturbed!!!!
I mean think about it.Some people can read why walking around.It's the same for violin.I've done it to.It's not that hard.
@@antalbodis1257 Seriously? At that speed? That level? I rather doubt it. Ray is special.
@@wallacememberships Yeah I mean at hard pieces you have to concentrate on two things.Playing perfectly and walking😀.But really you can get used to it.I used to practice it in conservatory.
@@wallacememberships And yeah Ray is undoubtedly one of the best violinist on the planet right now.
Bach's triple violin concerto for a short moment
The concertmaster did a great job accompanying Ray 👌
The concertmasters are often more experienced than the soloists. They have countless hours of practicing, rehearsals and performances on their belt.
i lost track of who had whose violin after the 3rd swap
I love how seamlessly they transitioned from one performer to another.
It's been 5 years and no-one's mentioned the fact that the last time the conductors had picked up the violin was just under 10 years ago...
Conductors actually need to know how to play 4 instruments. Since violin’s rank is high I’ll bet any conductor knows how to play one, including piano and a few other instruments. How do you lead a whole team of musicians if you don’t know how the instrument they are playing works?
@@violetflower1994 you learn as you go
@@jakewatson668 😂
@@violetflower1994 i know a lot of conductors that play 1 instrument, two at best. where did you get this? 😅
Somebody
That's silly, I don't believe that, and you should know better.
@2:30 _"Yer a conductor, Harry."_
Best comment ive ever seen
But Hagrid, I can't be uh.. uh... uh... A conductor; I'm just Harry 😂😂😂
Well just harry “Yer a Conductor
Looooool
There is something hillarious about a guy in a suit being taught how to hold a violin by someone wearing such a colourful jacket.
lmao so true
If I am not mistaken, the jacket colors is bc the Venezuela's flag colors
@@lltinkerbell yes, that jacket is worn in some events by el sistema players so its kind of a more informal uniform
You don't need an autograph. If he plays your violin, it is literally a kind of autograph.
I'm floored that the conductors play so well after 10 years! Absolutely hilarious and one of my favorite concertos as well
For this, you need to have experience playing the
-1st violin part of Bach Double
-2nd violin part of Bash Double
-conductor experience
-concert master experience
and the ability to mix them all at once
Good luck!
Ray trying to squeeze all the sound off that violin was one of the best parts

Just saw this for the first time. I wish i couldve been there in person! Wow!
Just wonderful , now I was search for a pancake recipe ,.... how did I get here ?
Wait... What?
Just go with the flow, man.
well that’s the power of music
Ray made a batch of pancakes around the 3 minute mark, didn't you see?
Flour, milk, eggs, a pinch of salt. Go for thin crepes.
Wow, what a difference in sound the violin makes between the principal 2nd's violin and Ray's Strad. Not saying the skill of the player isn't important but it's clear that the sound quality literally changes from an amateur to professional sound between the two violins. It really is night and day. Never realized the importance that a strong violin brings for the player.
The funny thing is...that's not his strad, its a modern violin
It was made by Kurt Widenhouse
How Happy she must be to play his Strad :)

Audience: *cheers*
Mic: ***BREAKS***
bubble tea YES, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED BECAUSE OF THE MIC ;-;
My ears!!!
i just love how the winds, brass and percussion's just sitting in the back, watching.
Glad to see classical musicians having fun.
In the head of the principal second violin: "i play on a stradivarius, I play on the ray chen's stradivarius , if only I could steal it. He's nit gonna see it"
amazing conducting by ray chen
This is one of the reasons i love classical music❤
taylor swift ain't that bad either .
This is why I love Ray
Music and some sense of humor, life is complete now
Normies:"Classical music is too serious and boring"
Me: *shows this video*
I will send this video from now on every time someone says this
@@octave11thpianist58 And also the Czardas video and twoset
Sadly that’s what so many people think... but I’m glad y’all enjoy this music too
Me: **shows an excerpt of a twoset concert**
I send them Tambourin Chinois
I'm impressed at how seemless that sounds despite all the moving around. This looks so fun!
There's a legend that says that the strad is still with that damn lucky first row girl
Idk why but my heart felt so warm after watching this ❤
2:33
YOU HAVE GIVEN DOBBY A BATON! DOBBY IS FREE!
Lol
HAHA
LMAO
Thank you for being such a fun virtuoso, Master Chen!!!!
amazing. Besides the switching musicians, that young orchestra overall is fantastic
I love the joy evidenced by all the musicians here. Who says Bach is boring? Wonderfully fun!
I love how playful everybody is!
This is what I call "Play Musical Chairs!" Fascinating - never see something like this before!! Brilliant 👍❤️

Humour is always good to uplift one's spirit.
Ray after concert:

The violinist without the violin at 3:02 🤣🤣🤣
La joie de jouer merveilleusement une musique merveilleuse ... tout en s'amusant.
My self esteem is loving the fact that my 4th grade self played the same piece that a world renowned violinist is playing
Awesome! Great to see people having so much fun with this.
I love listening to this...just over and over and over again...
Awesome! You bring a lot of joy to these young musicians!

This is the definition of what musical chairs was supposed to be.
I really want to know what kind of violin that first chair girl in the 2nd violins have, it sounds soo good
Gustavo • The instrument can make a difference. The quality of It shouldn’t be underestimated
It's actually ray's. It's a Strad
Strad
everyone's playing at the same time how can you tell what sound is coming from who?
@@GEN47-27 They're playing different stuff and soloists always stand oír, that's how you know
best version ever played
