No but Jasmine playing the violin chords is another level!

[@obduratecb]

I know! It’s absolutely amazing how she nails those chords!

[@elipsy_]

Hearing this woman articulate at the speed of god gives me a smirk every time, its just so flute savvy 😂😂

[@obduratecb]

I know! she’s one of the most talented musicians i’ve heard!!

[@wanderrrluust]

Ray being shocked at every single piece and his eyes being wide open as he plays is so funny 😭

[@Notevenhere-en1oc]

Now I really want to hear Ray play Chaminade

[@kingcobra3329]

I was waiting for this…

[@autumnleaves5973]

I was so waiting for Chaminade

[@lainktown]

I thought the same thing.

[@impractical1158]

i thought for sure it was going to happen but it didn’t😢

[@Nymeria0]

@@impractical1158 There will always be a next time.

[@ShawnCravyEEEE]

13:34 Ray so cute to play the low note for Jas❤

[@Traponnix]

Watching Ray's reaction to Jasmine slay every piece was so funny. And Ray did do great too. Love them both ❤💕

[@vioara_nyc]

To those who were wondering (and to Jasmine + Ray if they ever see this): Badinere means "Joke"! Thats why its so fun and humorous! It's actually not even a dance at all haha

[@RudieVissenberg]

You can see they are both competitive, which makes it fun. Guess you have to be in order to perform at their level.

[@kavertx9167]

This is incredible. Never before have we been able to listen to world-class musicians from even our homes. Huge internet and computer W.

[@fong03]

Love this! I think we definitely need a part 2 (and 3, and 4!) haha I'd love to hear Ray play carnival of the animals - the aviary, symphonic metamorphosis 3rd mvt, the Nielsen concerto, and so many more! :)

[@NYX-xf7lf]

You both look awesome together 🤍

[@blauespony1013]

YES, Syrinx. My wish has been fullfilled 😀Thank you!

[@lizzy5812]

The animations had me dying 😂

[@ayushmourya2831]

As a flute lover I go for the flute but the Ray chan violinist changes my mind now 🤩🤩

[@MyaMiaFroggy]

So excited!❤

[@ryanadrianh]

Speaking of violin/flute they should’ve played that one arr. of Bach’s double violin for flute and violin 🥺

[@xiasan5834]

Can't wait!!!

[@ohsleben]

Jasmine playing Bach Chaconne OMG this is so beautiful. Hope to see a full video someday!❤️

[@yosoykibbles]

so beautiful! I always am in awe with you and ray! such magic, humility and fire to compete ❤❤❤❤❤

[@morissette83]

You read like an angel. Debussy is awsome in the violin, loved it!

[@kryzak123]

This is awesome please do more!

[@jmaranillo]

They both are amazing ! ❤

[@trinidadbaranao7728]

Love the editing❤

[@lad4694]

Yes! I love these repertoire swapping videos!

[@agatafurczyk9149]

Ysaye's 'Obsession - Prelude' is one of my favourites - so nice it ended up in this "fight". I've got one word for the video: CUTE... in large part due to the cats... 😉😸 (joking of course 😆) This is such a friendly way of showing people they should dare to search for inspiration beyond their standard repertoir and make their music experience even more wonderful that way! 😃 (And I need that long-legged-🐢 emoji NOW!!!😹😜). Thank you both! 🥰

[@p__duf]

You are very good at deciphering pieces quickly !

[@angieallen4884]

Besides the delicious music, the production values of your videos are so great. Fun challenge today; I enjoyed it immensely!

[@homafan3128]

Although Jasmine said she didn't meet her expectations on playing the Brahms concerto, i got so addicted to her playing and listened many times, especially the first few bars. It was so powerful. Hope Jasmine will play the whole piece somewhen.

[@trinidadbaranao7728]

Amazing!!❤

[@blackcat3289]

Best video I’ve seen on KZbin for a while

[@trinidadbaranao7728]

Amazing!!

[@iamlalala1995]

oh wow that chaccone opening chord is so heart wrenching on the flute.

[@brendanhubenak1852]

I'd love the surprise of chant de linos being put in front of Ray

[@annescholten9313]

You have great musical chemistry.❤❤❤

[@mariadavis8745]

So much fun for us watching too! Thank you Jasmine and Ray! And by the way, flute won!!! 😀

[@nataliadchan]

Great video !

[@ernestofredrich8235]

Bravo, maestros!

[@Mr.mikaelson]

This is awesome

[@archetypaljesus]

This is very helpful. Never played brahms in solo flute before too ❤️ superb

[@freebox2.043]

THAT WAS SO COOLLLL

[@rodrigomoraes2305]

Amazing

[@robertzsizsnyovski8657]

Great Video

[@RecorderGuy1994]

There are certain aspects and techniques of the flute that are more flowing than the violin yet it takes more bow control and emotional feel like summoning something and it's more exhausting . I'm not a violinists I'm a noob recorder begginner. But dang with flautist you gotta have lungs of steel and for violinists needs more antidepressants and therapies appointments for frustration

[@oiarasilva5790]

as it will always be a spectacle❤❤❤❤

[@HenningMogensen-fx3mw]

Very inspirering. I never seen the fast notes on flute as a chord. Interesting.

[@King-ui6kt]

매우 흥미로운 영상 재미있게 봤습니다. 레이 첸은 항상 그랬듯이 유쾌하네요. 7년 전 시벨리우스 협주곡, 4개월 전 콘골트 협주곡을 콘서트홀에서 들었는데, 이 영상 보니 그의 열정적인 연주로 브람스 협주곡을 듣고 싶어집니다. 최나경님운 아직 무대에서 못만났는데 꼭 만나고 싶어요.

[@davidam4080]

I mean, how masterful are you both though? I'm impressed, as someone who immediately gave up on trying to sight read 😂 this looked fun.

[@vesselinatp]

Niceeee ❤🎉

[@oiarasilva5790]

I love your charisma and your charisma and your violin. Brazil oiara.

[@HonneySantos1]

They're both cool and its good classical musician share this videos

[@JustAFlutistThatLovesBubbleTea]

WE NEED CHAMINADE AND MENDELSSOHNS MIDSUMMERS NIGHT DREAMMMM❤❤❤❤

[@BlackHermit]

Wow, this was the strongest Badinerie ever! 🤯

[@fulvioleone2831]

Bravi e simpatici ciao jasmine❤

[@1015SaturdayNight]

Ooooh Syrinx is lovely on Violin!

[@veryoriginalchannel]

I would love to hear Ray try Chaminade's Concertino.

[@BB_001]

최나경님 정말정말 존경하고 있어요🥺🥺 그동안 수험생활 하느라 공연을 못 가서 아쉬웠어요. 이제 드디어 성인이 되어서 캠퍼스 라이프도 즐기며 최나경님 동영상 보며 플룻도 꾸준히 연습하고 있는데, 올해 국내 공연 예정은 없으신가요? 최나경님의 연주를 꼭 직접 들어보고 싶어요!!

[@Strawberry-uo3eo]

The tonic plugs r always so funny to me

[@oxoelfoxo]

i feel like they should have been seated the other way round so they deafen each other less lol, also less chance of hitting the other while playing

[@hermin]

yeah, I agree

[@susanbryant6516]

But where’s the fun in that!

[@FlaneurSolitaire]

Lol, I've been learning the Chaconne in the *piano* version (by Brahms) for at least the past ten months. You two are mighty impressive. I really think you absolutely aced the Chaconne for a first sight-reading.

[@reipfvn]

Oh, I wanted Ray to play the very beginning of Libermann sonata. I believe it sounds good with the violin.

[@diogopauloferreira423]

I would LOVE to see Cello VS Flute

[@user-qz8is8ge9k]

'you actually seem more bahroak', Ray 2024, 'Baroque', Ray 2023 and everything else!!!

[@RachelCyoung-musician]

My brother has a friend that friend that is going to a cello competition soon and like soooo many people were in his studio in tonic and listening to him😂But his dad is a cello teacher and me and my brother went to his house and listened to his dad and OMG SO GOOD.I trust my brother’s friend that he will play like his dad one day❤😊

[@RachelCyoung-musician]

PPS,My best friend in the world who has been best friends with me for almost 12 years plays the flute. Me:Yay good job 👏 Her:I need to go on Tonic and open a studio 😅

[@RachelCyoung-musician]

🏊‍♀️

[@ianj1698]

Syrinx makes my soul sing. I play it all the time. 😍

[@karmickoala101]

My fav part was Brahms Violin Concerto part. It was intriguing enough while soothing out my aching ✨ Edit: That was a perfect pick to end the video

[@ysi9409]

오?? 엄숙한 현악 버젼 샤콘느만 듣다가 플룻이 하는건 처음 들어보는데 너무 신선하네요? 첫음부터 약간 소름 돋았습니다... 너무 잘 들었어요

[@user-zd5yg1zj1v]

A truly unsurpassed performance of your Incredibly beautiful covers of this magical music. Thank you so much 👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.

[@2._Double_Trouble_.1]

I feel like tonic sponsors are the classical musicians rick roll

[@timothypan8323]

Ray you should give jasmine the slow part in Brahms first movement

[@cabritogamermaster1134]

Maravilhoso eles c divertem com a música olha o nível kkkkk

[@iven140]

Can Jasmine do some flute review content and talk more about what flute Jasmine r currently use right now and the tones colors and all.

[@muzkat101]

Ciaccona played on flute sounds so, so familiar... I swear I've heard it in a Japanese 'Samurai' movie before played on Shakuhachi flute... or a piece that sounds something very similar to it. Oh, now I remember, not a Samurai movie, it was Bruce Smeaton's scores for the movie, The Iceman. My goodness, that sound and piece just really gets you deep inside your soul, to your core and heart. If you've never heard it before, check it out. I know you'll love it.

[@roheryn43]

Now do it on the piccolo…. I had the HARDEST time learning to double tongue, triple tongue and flutter tongue on the piccolo…. I’d love to hear you do it too!!!

[@geronimolahood3774]

Not ray listening to jasmine talk about ‘this app called tonic’ like he didn’t co-found it 😭

[@alejandroinca2979]

Imagine their children, so freaking talent 😮

[@ly2867]

????

[@Strawberryfreak]

????????????????

[@DavisTakagi]

🌹🌹

[@josephlau8476]

Violin is a good combination with flute.

[@danielhughes441]

The syrinx is also the avian version of a larynx. That’s why Debussy set it for flute

[@SlapMyBass3825]

I feel like there is some sort of connection going on here. Ray seems quite nervous, like a middle schooler at a semi formal.

[@75Chopin]

The flute seems to adapt to the violin works easier or maybe Ms Choi is that great! Also perhaps the violin pieces are better known for flutists and flutists have been playing transcription of violin works quite often, where as Ray does not know any of the flute works. Accidentals are also harder for the violin. Speed is easy for flute. Ray probably should choose a violin piece that has very very long legato lines with no room to breath for ms choi

[@Komatik_]

"How about... NO." I hope the editor was cackling like a maniac.

[@mr.swedishfish12]

a violinist's worst nightmare is flats and a flutist's worst nightmare is chords lol

[@orangeflower2797]

Actually, if you play Badinerie more in the baroque style, the tempo is closer to what Ray played (not to say that flutists playing it really fast are not impressive! it just isn't so much what a traverso player would do)

[@oxoelfoxo]

aww, Ray hardly even tried playing Syrinx

[@forgottenreaper7541]

3:22 your eyes bro don't leave us

[@astrojudo6421]

Please do a legend of zelda music on the flute video

[@TitiLatulipe]

Cette personne nous fait aimer la flûte....

As a violist, playing a part originally for another instrument is the norm. Lol😂

Always finish on the Bach, never finish on the Debussy

[@woutvanostaden1299]

I was hoping to hear Wagners ride of the valkeries on the violin. 😢

[@user-jo2gg2dl1m]

Ray should've used forced harmonics for the Badinerie!
