Well There's something you don't hear everyday

[@phoebej7806]

Gotta love Amihai

[@kumao1824]

me too.

[@luke3436]

0:14 *Cellist has ascended to another dimension*

[@ilovebeingprecious]

wow the viola part really shines in a quartet

[@anastasiafaith696]

Sounds like someone looking out a window while it’s raining on a gloomy day while the sun peaks out from the clouds

[@navya6508]

Sounds a little too intense for that,in my opinion

[@germangarciamartinez4097]

It sounds like a new beginning, like a retrospective change in life

[@fangsichong806]

Sounds like the whole world is open up for me✨

[@danieldeiparine1616]

ray chen is the god of legato bowing

[@Yunakura]

Everytime I hear Gymnopedie I picture slow and a bit somber kind of scenery but this rendition paints a more serene, sunlit day with the wind just right kind of mood lol if that makes sense...

[@itamarbar9580]

And a tracking shot of a hand going through a wheat field in a summer afternoon

[@HeiHei-go1pb]

Enjoying each show from Ray.. ❤❤ even just a normal video sharing how he played.

[@LuukSwinkels]

100% saticfaction. I have never heard a string quartet this beautifull. Their is so much for me to learn as a amateur composer. This is so perfectst intense. It seriously Made me cry

[@nicholasli4800]

That guy’s cello reverberates so freaking well, holy hell, and it’s definitely in great hands!!

[@Zoharul]

Beautiful arrangement, so fresh, original and vital and written amazingly for the strings! And the performance...WOW!

[@elisameggs2263]

This is such a beautiful arrangement. I keep listening, over & again, being elevated higher. Why is this not more popular? So passing this on to other musicians and music lovers. Please come to San Francisco. Bay area needs to hear this.

[@Balestrieri-jg5sz]

If somebody feels like performing it, sheet music is available here: www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/a-new-satiesfaction-feat-gymnopdie-no-1-digital-sheet-music/20424511

[@lotusbuds2000]

I know I know we need them to perform this here in SF...are you a musician?

[@shermanchoy8668]

@@Balestrieri-jg5sz thank you so much

[@lltinkerbell]

Same, same. Totally agree 🙏

[@RileyDyer]

He performed in sf last year! It was amazing!

[@BeerBarbecueDad]

Koncz's composition is a beautiful incorporation of cultures. The French theme is prevalent and true, the big octave chords are so brave and American, and I just love the quartal harmonies! If I could describe it in shorter words, I'd say that this was badass and cute :)

[@plumb.474]

Christopher Vu feels like Satie & Vivaldi had a play date

[@geniedoes]

What an arrangement . this really gives the Gymnopedie another new life. I love this.

[@Le_Samourai]

Much more than arrangement, this is a new composition

[@wendyfernandez4013]

My favorite arrangement of my favorite piece of music. I'm a little obsessed - have to hear it every morning to start my day! Wonderful.

[@stuartanderson3431]

Qantas flight entertainment is currently offering Ray Chen's CD with this track. I listened to it repeatedly during a flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane, and now, a few hours later, on KZbin. It is an extraordinary composition, one that leads the listener through many emotions, and these performers endow it with a vitality and purity that brought tears to my eyes. Satie would have loved it. Thank you Made in Berlin.

[@melyt2054]

I too listened to Ray Chen’s The Golden Age CD repeatedly during the long-haul flights with Qantas. I hope Qantas never takes this CD off its Flight Entertainment.

[@guerrero4982]

I...I have finally found it. I can die now.

[@Jane306]

those crescendos are so even im crying....

[@buggus5190]

Never get tired of listening to this. It's the music that plays when it's time for my alarm to go off, lol

[@JustMeAndcookie]

This has become one of my favorite pieces of music. Beautiful rendition and masterful execution. Bravo, gents!!!

[@charlestakizawa1689]

Its the end of 2023. I am hearing this for the first time! It is just fantastic!

[@prototropo]

Fantastic performance of a great new composition. I love that tonality has survived and pulled Modernism along with it into the future!

[@justsomeguy6060]

I've been sleeping on this piece. I had no idea it sounded so magical.

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I love these gentlemen, their beautiful music and outstanding performance.

[@mellissadalby1402]

I LOVE this arrangement. IT really woke up the piece and made it ROCK!

[@irisce2799]

This performance is so underrated and underappreciated on KZbin

[@rnsaiaayaalrxend5381]

The tapping of the shoes for some reason sounds epic

[@MrKaheden]

I love the playing and the arrangement ! This is totaly awesome !

[@rogert5854]

What a great performance! Thank you!

[@ona9960]

I've been watching it over and over again love it!

[@keithhoward5120]

Just wonderful ! Thank you !

[@afafranianajid9452]

It feels like they were playing in a garden full of flowers on a sunny day

[@ssatjapot]

This felt like an entire orchestra...not a quartet. Epic playing.

[@yuchichang7671]

Love the arrangement. Giving me a lot of hope and enlighten my day every day. The best ever.

[@WiseOwl_so_1d_like_to_think]

Absolutely wonderful arrangement! A gem! Gonna buy the album.

[@giamar66]

Check out the harmonics on the viola! Yaaaassss!

I overheard it on radio yesterday and instantly ran off to my room to grab my phone and shazam it :D Masterpiece!

[@christinabalueta]

Wow I wish I can experience and feel the joy and satisfaction of playing perfect pieces alongside others.

[@chihuing6377]

[@hermesgarcia8139]

Es hermoso lo que hacen, ojalá y un día pueda tocar como ustedes, saludos desde CD México

[@AdrianaBooker]

Absolutely beautiful arrangement - I love this piece so much, I've been listening to the track for a while on Spotify but was pleasantly surprised to see a live video :)

[@VictorMinchihLee]

Awesome. Two of my favorite violinists of our generation!

[@naomiellis4471]

Love this! So glad to have seen you perform this with NCCO.

[@user-uj1lw7ul7b]

いつも寝る前に聴いてます😆 ホントに綺麗な音♪いつか生で聴きたい…。

[@charlie0707]

such beautiful harmonics

[@violinchick25]

Super fun arrangement! Love it!

[@somalykhayanvong9357]

Beautiful!

[@leonardusdewangga5870]

Most beautiful string quartet i ever heard

[@Juciejuc]

This is always making me feel so satisfied. I love it just to lean back and let the sounds fill me. If that is a weird english I am sorry :D

[@vaaaaaaliiii]

Okay, with you playing I'm eager to learn some new pieces and listen to more classical music only because you four sound faboulus together! Especially around 3:00 and 0:30 hit me right in my heart, beautiful

[@vaaaaaaliiii]

After repeating 5 times I now declare myself in love with it

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Ray, and crew. I really really enjoyed watching you all play with such passion and sensitivity too....and I really really love ❤️ the enjoyment you gave us all and yourselves!!!!!!! Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@OrangeOrangeTrees]

I love the cellist's facial expressions!

[@kyleebarry7445]

He is amazing! Go see him in person if you have the opportunity!

[@penguinlover2274]

Sounds so lively and beautiful

[@PeterLewysPreston]

Fantastic!

[@cgifford103]

AMAZING. Can't believe this doesn't have more views! Never stop making music!!

[@cassiecasper8560]

I'm not familiar with this piece, so I'm not sure if the foot tapping is part of the score or not, but I love what it adds to this performance!

[@luke3436]

Foot tapping is to keep the tempo balanced and playing at the correct speed. It's like a metronome, but using your foot as a beat to prevent rushing. Or its part of the movements.

[@luke3436]

And yes, there is a chance that it could be part of the score, but over the many pieces I've seen, not one has foot tapping.

[@plasmagamer2521]

While I’m almost certain that the foot tapping is not part of the score, I do agree that it adds to the performance.

[@nskimharris]

@@luke3436 plus it is really hard

[@nskimharris]

it is soo hard that Ray doesn't have to too keep tempo. sigh

[@cinnamon9390]

breathtaking

[@husky_violin]

This is such a beautiful arrangement 😭

[@matteasammut1722]

Simply amazing 🤩😮

[@sarahtong2286]

Amazing!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@arjayawesome3392]

Powerful arrangement😍

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Amazing violist!!

[@dianenelson6849]

Fantastic arrangement! Brings out new energy and life from the piece. It's a gem absolutely! Can't wait for more.

[@irisce2799]

agreed. It's sad the views have stagnated. Most comments are from 3-5 years ago. I listen to this all the time and I wish the KZbin algorithm would start recommending it to other people

[@KB-DSN]

Love this!!!!

[@darlight2630]

still one of my favorites!

[@christelletremaine8900]

A stage full of greatness

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

This is MAGICAL!!!!

[@lltinkerbell]

I feel the original one seems that is about a winter and rainny day. This one seems is about a Summer sunny day, when the Sun starts to rise shy, and get strong with a colorful sky; there's a storm in the afternon, but ends with a still warm and gently sunset 🌅🧡

[@lucychang3877]

感覺充滿能量的演出!早晨想賴床,聽了立馬起床練琴🤣🤣🤣

[@clairepotter6975]

Mesmerizing!

[@damianrock5297]

OMG that sounds just beautiful, Ray!!!

[@itissunshine5812]

Perfect musicians, beautiful music, handsome guys... what more do I need for a perfect satiesfied YT evening? Thanks for your performance!

[@chrisng914]

Awesome! please come to Malaysia with whole team !!!

[@heijd]

I went to the live performance in Eindhoven and I must say, it was absolutely brilliant. Highly reccomend anyone to go. Amihai does look a lot more relaxed in this video than he did at the concert. He had his feet really close together during the entire concert, but he played perfect.

[@torterrakart7249]

snoepautomaat64 What else did they play?

[@munchkinsoup]

it's really beautiful.

[@maxray9754]

Beautiful performance. They breathe fresh new life into an old overworked Satie piece.

[@jamien.5528]

This definitely deserves more likes!
