CLASSICAL vs POP - Which do people prefer? ⚔️ ft. Karolina Protsenko

[@RayChenViolinist]

Thanks for watching! See the full performance video from me and Karolina here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ3Ek4SflMitY7M 🏴‍☠️

This is absolutely amazing! I've been following your channel for years now and love your positivity.

[@Braveplantt]

唔該!

[@rexjamerson9316]

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!

[@lightale1367]

Great stuff.....hope you do more with karolina ray

It's not just listening to classical.... it's listening to RAY CHEN play classical!!!!

Exactly the point.....it sounds different when it's Ray Chen

[@candicehsu6481]

Absolutely!!!! Love it 😍!!!!!!

[@il1200]

Those audience on the street were so lucky to be able to hear a world class violinist playing such beautiful classical music for free....❤

[@hexabr]

you mean two world class violinists right

[@williamsyt]

he said classical music not pop@@hexabr

[@nicoinformatics]

@@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.

[@lydiafano6707]

I thought the classical music won, it looked like more people stopped at classical. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED both.

[@JuberthBaton]

Generation of Paganini 😊

[@ynot5478]

I think the audience did not necessarily react to the genre of music but rather the passion and musicality and skill of each performer. Ray would slay playing anything-here you see the crowd grow and be amazed. Thank you for this collaboration.

[@cosygracegames]

That’s such a good comment!

Thats not all. Obviously a song made for violin will sound better than a song that was not made for violin.

[@11kwright]

@@normasmith1511Don’t agree, it’s all about the player. Vanessa Mae would always slay classical and pop songs on the violin as Ray clearly did. Once you e achieved beyond consummate playing you make and song sound amasing. Enjoyed this video immensely.😊❤

Yes, you are right and music is intended for everyone. Many people would not be able to pay the price for a concert ticket. Karolina and her family give it to them for free. You are truly blessed. I came across Karolina's channel by chance and haven't been able to leave it since 🤗 Greetings from Germany

[@SharonCullenArt]

“You’re just some walk by violinist!???!”😂 When you scanned the audience his expression made me think that he knew who he was! It seemed to me that there was a larger crowd during the classical performance. Ray is just amazing. So is Karolina.

Yes, Ray immersed himself deeply in his feelings in Schindler's List. You can tell that he is used to playing such profound pieces. I came across Karolina's channel by chance and haven't been able to leave it since 🤗

The longer they were playing the more people gathered to listen to incredible music, so if he started, there would have been a bigger crowd for her too.

The whole concept of Classical and Pop music coming together is just delightful. Whatever the genre music, when it is respected and played well, it is such a beautiful thing - thank you to the amazing Ray Chen and the lovely Karolina for showing us true music. That was so wonderful, only wish I could have been there! That was a very special once-in-a lifetime performance - one for the memory to play over, and over again.

Personally, I prefer classical, but I think out of all the violinists, Karolyn’s really delivers pop music the best And out of all the classical musicians, Ray is one of my top favorites.

Lots of love to a guy who can put the seriousness of the classical music hall a little bit to one side and have fun busking with his amazing talent at the Santa Monic Promenade. That takes thinking way outside the box and it takes a lot of guts. I'm just delighted that Ray and Karolina are friends and performing together. We want more. Puh-lease!??!!

[@jaegertiger384]

I would have stood there ALL DAY for any of Ray's performance. One NEVER sees the level of his virtuosity on the streets of LA.

[@Robmaster_violin]

I completely agree, can't say the same for the pop however!

[@nicholasstaddon]

That was brilliant! Two of the violin 'greats' come together, proving that both classical and pop can be amazing when played well and in a good spirit. Thank you Ray for bringing classical music to a wider public. Karolina, amazing as always!

[@Palmleaf23]

Karolina isnt a violin great. not even close. shes a POP STAR violinist. Thats like putting Higschool kid and Whitney houston together.

[@nicholasstaddon]

@@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.

Such a great collab, beautiful performances by both, both are the very best human beings, kind and loveable and amazing in their genres

[@judyclark1906]

There you go: it's the "kind, loving human beings" idea that is most precious: we all long for Beauty, Harmony, Peaceful and Loving relationships, no matter where we are from: Music and, I think, Classical culture in general, whether it be Poetry of Pushkin, or EA Poe, or the Dramas of Shakespeare, or F. Schiller, the Human Soul longs for such inspiration and celebrates such Universal values. Thank you, young artists, and especially the parents of K. Prosenko for encouraging their daughter in this way -- to pursue her music and share it nobly on the streets and in cyberspace, for the whole world! Love to you all

[@evrencagin]

Classical always touches to the soul and heart directly.

[@hayoolleeviolin9779]

[@aerozene5083]

The best thing about this collab is that a lot of classical music fans who also like pop music, but have never heard of Karolina Protsenko, have checked out her YT violin channel to watch. Just as many fans of Karolina are discovering the world's most accomplished violinist is a treat to listen to and watch his passion for what he does. Bravo!

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 KZbin... Hard work, stands strong in her faith and the love of family...
