      I'm only an amateur guitarist of 50 years who has mostly played pop / Rock, with some classical and Flamenco. I believe without question, the violin is the most difficult instrument to master and Ray Chen is an absolutely phenomenal player! On a scale of 1 to 10, he's an 11!

      @@hexabr Nothing against Karolina, but a violinist and a professional classical violinist are not the same thing. They don't live in the same world, it's a completely different ballgame. It's like saying Lindsay Stirling is as good of a violinist as Hilary Hahn. Classical violinists, even prodigies are required and always train their arts to perfection. You cannot make even the most minute mistake when you do a classical concert. You miss a note in pop violin play, literally no one cares.

    I love classical music and pop music. What I love about Karolina, she has a beautiful soul and when she plays her violin with so much passion it touches you. She’s an inspiration to us you can accomplish everything in life. She’s my role model and inspiration. A true musician as Karolina has a divine spiritual power that connects to our souls through her music.

      I saw them perform duets together in person. Karolina's sound cards were stolen so she can't post the duets. I am hoping Ray posts them. There were 3 or 4 duets. He had a film crew there so he has it. If he doesn't post them I think it would be nice if he gave them to Karolina. We will see

      Ohh yeah that was so sad. When I saw the video karolina posted about the stolen cards I was in shock. It is so unfortunate that the time it happens is when there's real sentimental value. (Fortunately, they didn't stole her violin). I am hoping to see karolina perform whenever I go to LA (quite complicated to get there from Spain), it must be awesome to see her perform (and ray too, obviously) @AttilaLothrigel

    To see a master such as Ray Chen choose to invest time into visiting this young lady on her stage is both gracious and genius... I believe he recognizes she presents a passion for her music and performance that all maestros could learn from... Karolina, now 15 years old, isn't out there trying to compete... she welcomes Ray Chen to her world, now lets put some smiles on these faces... She recognizes he is one ot the top 1% violinist in the world... at the same time you can hear a confidence in her voice and performance very few at this age pocess... In my opinion she is one of the purest role models for young artist on TH-cam... Hard work, stands strong in her faith and the love of family...

      @nicholasstaddon 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Palmleaf23 You talk absolute nonsense. Karolina is a true 'great' in various genres of popular music, and is fast becoming a very accomplished classical violinist after years of tuition and hard practice. Just before last Christmas she was the violin soloist in a performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor with the Orchestra Nova LA. A year earlier (November 2022) she gave a violin recital of Sarasate's 'Caprice Basque Opus 24' which was not easy for someone just turned 14 to play. Both these performances are on her Vlog channel. Also your inference that popular music is somehow inferior to classical music is a tad condesending.

    I don't think there is a better or worse one either. What you notice about both of you is the passion with which you make music. People need such places of reflection. The feedback on your performance shows that people love classic and pop when it penetrates their hearts honestly and convincingly. I'm glad to have met you too. It's nice that you and Karolina exist. I would also like to see you play the violin together more often. You guys fit together so well. There are many people who cannot buy a concert ticket because they are too poor.
