"Estrellita" - Arr. Heifetz by Manuel Ponce
Violin: Ray Chen
Piano: Julio Elizalde
During our pre-show warm up for Santa Barbara Arts & Lectures, Julio and I were doing our usual rehearsing when we decided it would be fun to share this piece with everyone because it's just so damn beautiful.

Ray's eyebrow can lift the entire burden in my life
I know seriously !
I know what you mean !
I wish it would too!
Best comment ever
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh... 😊
Oh my God ... I am gonna listen to your Estrellita about 1000 times at least for my life.
estrellita means twinkle twinle little star, so, Im really confused right now.
It's my daily routine, steps ahead of you 😂
Lalo Barbabosa estrellita means little star
steph I know, but in Spanish speaking countries the song twinkle twinkle little star is just referred as "estrellita". So in our language it literally has the same name as twinkle twinkle little star . so I was wondering if this estrellita has something to do with the other estrellita.
Not at all. Manuel Ponce is credited as the founder of the Mexican Nationalist Music movement. The first Mexican ethnomusicologist. He went from Romanticism (Estrellita, A pesar de Todo, Apasionadamente) to Nationalism. In 1910 he made a recollection of Mexican folk music including an out of this world version of ¨La Cucaracha¨, Las Mañanitas (Mexican Birthday song), Jarabe, Sandunga, Cielito Lindo . He also wrote versions inspired in Bach, Handel, Debussy. A very prolific composer born in Fresnillo Zacatecas 1882. Success.
I was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. The same place that Manuel M. Ponce (composer of this piece), and I have to tell that I'm so proud that musicians like you play Zacatecas's music. Thank you!! Greetings! :3
he is not the composer. It is a old folk song and Ponce arranges it~well it is really a wonderful song~
Wang Frida Manuel M. Ponce was the composer of this song, is not a folk tune!!! Heifetz arranged it and Mtro. Chen is playing this arrangement, thank you
Yes, Manuel Maria Ponce composed it. I also recommend you his Intermezzo
Heifetz was playing a concert in New Mexico and realise he didn’t have any Mexican music on his programme, then heard this in a bar and cause of his perfect pitch he wrote the piece on the back of a napkin, and later that night arranged it for violin and piano - that piece is what you are listening to in this video
@@wangfrida2199 False. Do a deeper investigation.
He plays violin with so many facial expression. My sister asked me why do I keep on pouting and raising my eyebrows when playing and I said "It's a natural violinist expression sis".
tell her it's an musical orgasm
Forcing it is weird though.
That's so true, that's 'cause we try to feel the emotion of the piece and feel the music itself.
Bunicel si el!But,more implication,more sensibility
My 8yr old girl was mesmerised by your playing and requested to hear this on repeat on spotify. Thank you Ray, for sharing your beautiful heartfelt playing 💕
😍 This is such a special song!!!
“Little star from far heavens, you who know my woe, who sees my love,
Come down and tell me if he loves me, even just a tiny bit
Because without his love I cannot live ❤️
You are my little star, my beacon of light 🌟
You know that soon I shall die
Come down and tell me if he loves me, even just a tiny bit
Because without his love, I cannot live 🌟💕
❤❤❤
You play this like you're really in love with something. It's awesome.
that something is the violin lol
For just discovering this classic, you both nailed it.
This is one of my very favorites - a beautiful Mexican symphony.
我感覺得出，您無論演奏任何類型的曲子，您都是享受其中，並且認真地把每一個音樂家的內心世界拉出來，感謝您對音樂的熱愛，並充滿熱情地表現出來，包括每一個細小的樂音！
From Mexico to the World, thank you very much Ray Chen
The pianist is just as talented, as well. Lovely work, gentlemen!
Ray, this piece, this recording, means so much to me. I love it so much, i don't know know how little time you had to rehearse this but I strive to bring the same emotion out of it as you did. Your tone and your phrasing is absolutely sublime. Thank you so much for posting this.
Esta linda melodia de Estrellita , me recuerda a papa, era su predilecta siempre. Hace 58 anos el se fue a cielo. Te amo papa.
I'm Mexican and I love Ponce's pieces and Heifetz arr. is just beautiful.
But your performance is AMAZING! Congratulations!
This makes me cry...... how come its so beautiful and sad?
That was beautiful and very expressive! I would hear my mom play it when I was young-- so many years ago. It just reminds me of how melodious this piece is. You played it so well! Never heard it with accompaniment-- it is equally exquisite. Great pianist, too!
I don’t know if here are other Mexican 🇲🇽🇲🇽listeners but... I feel proud of listening one of our most popular songs . Thanks Mr. Chen for so wonderful performance . Bravo !
Well, lifting the left eyebrow only shows his charming part and joy , and often as he goes up-bow! But with closed eyes he is very concentrated with his playing and unbeatable round Sound 😄 If Covid19 nomore troubles us Ray's in Munich soon
I cried. This, all classical and violin music, is so moving and beyond words. Wonderful job, your passion really shone through.
