Ray Chen is an extraordinarily expressive violinist. Here he shows once again how virtuoso he plays. Thanks for sharing 🎻❣️

He is great, however, this piece is not a virtuoso piece. It's fantastic from the melody, however, Iquite ordinary from a technical perspective for any violinist.

​​@@lorenzogumier7646 Qualsiasi brano può essere suonato in modo virtuoso. 😂😂😂😂Per un violinista non è un brano ordinario 😅🎻

The interpretation of this piece is exquisite. I couldn't listen to any other performances of this. Ray Chen deserves a standing ovation!

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

When I was a kid, im 50 now, I was a cellist, this one piece haunted me as a kid.

[@erikperron9722]

If I were to imagine the emotion that Vivaldi would have performed this with, this is what I imagine! Beautiful!

[@yumirhirakawa5392]

Wow, wow wow. I can literally feel the passion within you, Ray. Great performance. I love your Vivaldi best!!

[@Robinicat]

It was my first time 'meeting' you in one of your very interesting vlogs; a tour around the Curtis Institute of Music. So well done! Now having watched your Vivaldi Summer performance, I'd say you are becoming (already are?...) the Lang Lang of the violin! So expressive! Thank you and all the best to you in your career.

Stunning. Harmony. Expression. Together as one.

[@aimee2571]

I keep coming back to this video. I love the way Ray Chen plays it takes my urge away to shake my head crazily. Watching him do it makes the music better. If I met a man like that who's so compassionate for music I would marry him right then and there.

Energetic!

[@Imperial_F10]

How do people just sit there emotionless then give an exaggerated golf clap. This makes my heart race. Maybe it’s just me 🤷🏾

[@carrie-anneking3461]

The sound gets deep into my soul, my body vibrates, it's the most marvelous piece of work

[@venzkyle]

Gotta behave during the performance. It's how they work in there. You don't wanna disturb the other audience with how you act, keep it and let it out after the performance is done.

[@relativity1581]

It’s called social manners. Have the self control to restrain from acting like a jackass in public. Used to be the norm

[@Robinicat]

For years I have been a videographer of musical performances so I observe audiences. People sit quietly (and respectfully) listening and watching a musical performance. Their enjoyment is in their minds. You won't normally see audiences smiling from ear to ear or grimacing or moving their bodies in any way. It would draw attention to the audience member and possibly even be distracting and disturbing to the performer in a concert hall.

[@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis]

Because it's good to stfu and let people enjoy and only make districting applause when it's over.

[@AmeWithanee]

Incredible passion

[@urban2153]

You only need to watch a few others perform this piece to understand how special Ray is. Reminds me of John Williams with the guitar but more expressive.
