I'm going to become the world's greatest violinist😁
I love this app already and I have only had it for seconds. I could listen and or practice along all day

For Tchaikovsky? Heifetz
Anne-Sophie Mutter
Janine Jansen and Julia Fischer
What do you think about the topic "music is out of politics", while there have been so many Tsars propaganda from musicians in the imperial russia that forced people to like the regime?
BRETT YANG
Got to give this one to the King of Violin, David Oistrakh! Definitely one of my most listened version of the Tchaikovsky.
I've always loved Perlman's tone only he could create - very warm and creamy soup type of tone.
That's awesome that Ray included himself and saw some...less ideal parts. That's only a reminder of how far he has come as a musician over the years!
The great David Oistrakh owned this concerto.
Oistrakh is simple the BEST! Great sound, overtones, power and delicacy at the same time. The GOAT...
Its a maskuline piece
Agree. Oistrakh was the king of this concerto.
@@HadeanSting I still prefer Heifetz, but I won't complain if Oistrakh gets de GOAT, he is also wonderful.
I think Heifetz has perfection of playing, but Oistrakh has all the rest... @@TheEternaut
Really really love Perlman’s Tchaikovsky. It made me fell in love with Perlman and violin.
I hope you add Julia Fischer to your next comparison videos! She's also an incredible performer but I've found that very few people in the U.S. know of her.
I’m from the U.S. and she has my favorite Tchaikovsky VC performance. (No offense Ray 😅)
She is my favorite too!I especially love the how smooth her crescendo is right before the main theme.
I second this. Hers is my favorite too!
I love when she plays the fast and jumpy parts in mozart 4, it's so clear cut and sticky
Please. I love her playing
Heifetz does this piece in his way and wow… it is a fiery performance!!! People should give it a listen for sure!
The gold standard
And not the same sheet!
auer's edition has different fingering for the opening from what he and everybody else i've noticed uses
Oistrakh's performance is just bloody mind-blowingly good.
Love that you included your own cringe moments. They happen to all of us across any career where you push yourself. The positive spin is super awesome for growing musicians!
Ray is so cute when his own playing appears ... great to see these comparisons, you successfully introduced me to old videos that I didn't want to listen to. Really love this showdown series and petition for more!!
I was hoping to see Augustin Hadelich here, I love his interpretation of Tchaikovsky.
Finally, I found the person think like me
Yes me too
Me too!!!
watch his mozart video. it's super
As my one of my favourite violin soloists, I believe that Itzhak Perlman's is my favourite version. When learning to play Tchaikovsky violin concerto, I would listen to his recordings. I always loved his phrasing and vibrato, the expressionism and grandious is so pleasant!
I saw Baeva perform the Britten concert with the NY Phil a few months ago and I really enjoyed. The concerto has a really unusual ending where it's very quiet and intimate, as opposed to the usual big ending most concertos have. She did a really great job with it, and I feel like that sort of ending must be incredibly scary to perform. You've just played 20-30 minutes and instead of going out with a bang you have to play very quietly and intimately, holding everyone's attention but not overdoing it. It was impressive!
I didn’t know her and was so impressed with her originality and skill here
Janine’s Britten is also PHENOMENAL. You should definitely check it out 🎉
It has always been my favorite violin concerto, or at least one of my favs! I grew up hearing the Perlman version, but honestly, I just love to listen to anyone playing it because the variety of colors and styles people add to it is great!
I've seen you playing in the Queen Elisabeth Competition. And in the audience we talked that you were going places.🎉
That QEC: I brought a brother who was visiting me at the time and he had his first contact with the violin then and he loved it. We went back with his boyfriend who arrived at a later date.
That brother is very ill now, at the hospital in Brazil. To cheer him up, I reminisced about the fun we had at the QEC.
I loved the video, especially when you were explaining interpretation in the beginning. Ray you are the best.
Now you have to do the Bruch showdown! That first phrase can make or break the concerto.
Yessss!!!! My faves are Hilary and Mutter
My favourite ray chen's if you didn't listen I recommend @@chia_s_ee_d
i love hilary hahn and maria duenas for bruch
Pinchas Zukerman
The last music youtube video that deeply moved me had María Dueñas playing the Bruch concerto.
Ray, thank you so much for this and all your videos. I'm not a musician and learn so much about listening to and interpretation of classical music from you.
Thank you so much for making this review of the Tchaik! Can't wait for yours live in a week!!! 🎉🤩
Hi Ray, I have been really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and being such a big inspiration to so many of us. Keep it going! Love to hear your praise of David Oistrakh, one of my big heroes as well. 👍👍
I love this concert so much ❤ thanks for this video 😊
I started to study violin because i found a CD with te Oistrakh Version. I loved it and i love it since nowadays.
These are so informative and interesting to watch (and fun!) no matter what instrument you play. Thank you Ray 💕
*_pleased to meet you💞🎉😍_*
Love this video, I really enjoyed hearing the comparisons and explanations.
please give us more of these wonderful showdowns!!
3:46 The photo is Igor Oistrakh the son of David
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow and listen to your Tchaikovsky!! 😍
Love the mic set up when you’re playing 👌 sounds fabulous
I just got to see Perlman play this piece in Houston. So amazing and beautiful.
I’ve been waiting for this video for a fat while 😭😭
GREAT video, Ray! Eager for more performance analysis...
David O. Is one of my favorite ❤❤❤ this one and Seberius are just chef's kiss
1:57 Ray’s face here is so emotional. Shows just how much he really enjoys and feels the music.
I found this is a very interesting comparison. Much to be seen that otherwise a non professional wouldn't see. Kind of funny, but also courageous, that you are objective (even a bit hard) for your own interpretation. You still won the Elisabeth with it.
NEVER heard DO's performance, it's my NEW FAV "Tcha."
I can not wait to see it. Should be fun to watch and learn.
This series is awesome, really insightful for learning about these pieces and how to develop taste. Also really appreciate your candor, really respect your efforts to share honest stories so we can all learn!
The Perlman video has always been one of my favorites. The audience was so moved they broke tradition and gave him a rounding applause after the first movement.
Last time I couldn't decide between two albums with Tchaikovsky and Sibelius violin concerts. One by Oistrakh/Ormandy and other by Lisa Batiashvili/Baremboin. Both very good yet different.
I LOVE your tone and phrasing. The winner IMHO! 🏆
Compared with here that ray cheng showed different interpretation of violinists how they played the ventage track Tchaikovsky violin concerto. I think I love ray Chen's playing better. No matter at the age of 20 that he won the Queen Elisabeth Competition or almost a year ago he play this vantage track again with Seattle symphony orchestra, actually his technic is very strong, his mucic is emotionally, and with a lot of passion also. I think the record that he performed with Seattle symphony orchestra is the best in the world, he also played with his vantage track extremely already. I hope I could watch this films again here in the near future. This is my favorite classical music that performed by ray chen.
Keep them coming, @Ray! As far as I am concerned, you can dive deeper and spend more time with each performance. I am also a musician - a recorder player - but it's not easy for me to hear those subtle differences between, well, different violinists. So you pointing them out to us is really useful and educating.
I like your lightness and especially your effective dynamics.
What a joy it was to see and hear you live performing this beautifull peace tonight in Eindhoven! And after that changing a string ON stage WHILE introducing us to your version of Waltzing Mathilda. Lucky the new string behaved 😉it was awesome!! 😍
oh My Good, You need a part 2, I mean, your tonic studio at January 13th was so good, singing and tchaikovsky❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Jay Chou
When critiquing movies, have you ever thought about looking at "Music of the Heart"? Meryl Streep plays a violin teacher who starts a violin music program in an inner city school.. Based on a true story. Several well-known violinists have cameos.
Love these videos!
很高興在這裡聽到你分析這麼美的聲音。尤其是在欣賞回味自己的聲音。太美好了。謝謝你❤
This is a wonderful series, comparing side-by-side these great recordings. So interesting to hear how each interprets the music! My fave is still Oistrakh!
Greetings from Antwerp, thanks for the concert.
These analyses by Ray are truly amazing and inspiraytional!!
I’m not a violinist but this is one of my favorite pieces
All the performances are undoubtedly majestic, but my favorite is Ray's performance incredible.🔥
same !
theres just so many great tchaikovsky performances
Not sure how anyone can play the Tchaikovsky better than David Oistrakh. He represented the best of the Soviet school and Russian tradition.
How he explains the different types of interpretations and sounds >>>
Nice! 😄I've got a bit bumpy relationship with Tchaikovsky concerto - we didn't start getting along right off the bat. But I've listened to it a few times since then and it starts growing on me 😊. Really good examples of how differently it can be played 😄. This time I'm unable to choose which one I like best!
вааааау
лучшие видео!!!
спасибо!
I love this series! Please do one for Dvorak Violin Concerto!
I like the way that you reviewed your younger self. It's always good to look back to see how you have grown, both technically and emotionally.
alena's playing is "honest and direct" as well. that sweetness and light is her personality -- a personality which will also include guns firing out of hell!
Very insightful and entertaining as always. I grew listening to the Heifetz recording. But my favorite is Milstein’s interpretation.
Ray,
You are helping me to develop my ear for violin nuances
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Cant wait to perform this with you at Interlochen 2024!
So skilled! And talented and inspiring and iconic!
Ray Chen, your descriptive explanations really help me become a better musician, thank you so much! But please do Augustin Hadelich, a master interpreter!
Augustin, please!
Can we please make the leagues in Tonic optional? This give such a toxic vibe to practicing where if I do not practice for one day due to real life obligations, I am stuck in the fall zone for the rest of the week. And what about voice and woodwind players? You can only practice for so long without physical damage to your voice and/or lungs. The leagues don't seem like a fair way to promote people to practice unless you decide to make listening XP the same as practicing XP at a certain league.
This is actually very fun, to watch Ray review himself. Music is much like Surgeons performing surgery. You improve even if you are in your 60s, as long as you put in the work and effort. Thank you Ray for being an inspiration. Need to go back to practice suturing.
I had the honor to play the Tchaikowsky concerto in the orchestra with the wonderful Lidia Baich. It was mindblowing.
My favorite recording is from Vadim Repin!
Love your videos and Tonic app! I was wondering if there could be an option to opt out of the leagues.
I have to say it is your interpretation that makes me love Tchaikovsky! And your video accompanies me as I work every day recently (not a good idea though, coz I will keep watching you play the piece but forget my work 😂). And pls don’t feel bad for young Ray, he is being compared to some of the very best violinists, he was actually doing not bad!
Appreciate these review videos!
Please do Heifetz and Gitlis!!
Please include Hilary's I believe latest recording of Tchaik with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony in your next review 😇.
Her recording is horrible
😮😅omg@@deadlypineapplesatsumas6130
I don't like Hilary's either, it feels like she tries to be technically perfect that she killed the flaw of the song. But I would like to hear what Ray has to say about her performance.
@@charlies224 exactly! I'm not sure either what I think about it, that's why I'd like to hear Ray's opinion.
Can’t wait
Brett's of course 😁
Definitely with that very unique orchestra performance in that recording.😁
The random screaming of the soloist only add more juice to the performance 🤣
Looking forward to see new progress report from you.@@LinhChi93
Love this series! Please make more videos comparing interpretations of other concertos (both Prokofiev, Brahms, Beethoven, Dvorak, etc….)!
Ooh definitely Dvorak!!! I love Hilary’s interpretation of it!
Henryk Szeryng has my favorite recording of this piece
Please review Hilary and Janine!!!
I'm really looking forward to your Tchaikovsky concerto concert, which will be held in Seoul😆🤍
Ray, your performance in Melbourne in July 2023 rates really well too! We really liked the playfulness you brought to it
Hi Ray,
I really love all your videos and I am your biggest fan. I to play the violin but I’m nowhere as good as you are. I really look up to you and even David Garrot played this Tchaikovsky violin Concerto but I really wish you featured him more in your videos
Thanks!
Perlman has been always my favourite one but young Ray... oooh, just so cute.
Best episode, wanna see more young Ray. Your mom looks good in the photo
I think those octaves near the end are that hard! So many people miss them, even on recording! Always a nail biter, that passage!
The best performance belongs to Janine Jansen
Julia fischer
And finally Augustin Hadelich with amazing sound (Leduc)
ITZHAK PERLMAN... 1980 with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Can you do Brahms violin concerto next time? Love this set of videos!
I love This serie
I grew up listening to Jascha Heifetz play this. My cousin attended a masters class with Perlman. Never heard of Baeva before this.
Midori with Abbado and Berlin
Yes!
As a classical music enthusiast (I don't play) I absolutely love Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto No.1. It has softness, all those trinkets, swirls, and ribbons, it's so colourful (music synesthesia speaking here). These kind of pieces make me want to learn violin at the age of 40... XD
Ray’s Tchaikovsky violin concerto is by far my favorite ❤️! Can you review Hadelichs Tchaikovsky too!
Ohhhhhh, BEAUTIFUL RAY of musical sunshine...! (Seriously, you had me at “Tchaikov-”…).
Ray’s Tchaikovsky is one of my favourites. I can’t remember which symphony he was playing with, but it’s the one where he breaks his e string.
Hey Mr. Chen. Love your work. U should do an analysis on Nathan Milstein's Paganiniana and other great examples of the work done through the years. Also, a review of Vengerov's fabulous Ysaye #3 ballade would be popular I am thinking. You have a serious talent for analysis besides your obvious virtuoso playing. Good Day to you.
