"We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling.
Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up.
We feel the chill north winds coarse through the home despite the locked and bolted doors…
this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights."
- Antonio Vivaldi
III. Allegro - the final movement of Vivaldi's "Winter" from his Four Seasons performed by Ray Chen with the Rockport Chamber Music Festival Orchestra.

[@rokugoshitsu]

Dear @@Daria-ut6en I feel the same.😢 I used to watch it almost every day, and I was impressed each time.🍀

[@jnee3873]

❤❤❤ I LOVE TONIC SO MUCH

[@DefNotZenna]

Watching from a faraway place, I have always dreamed of performing with Ray Chen or Hilary Hahn or someone like that. You are my motivation to practice!

[@aredesuyo]

Ray's bow hair just can't handle the passion.

[@RayChenViolinist]

Hope you enjoyed this movement! Let me know where you're watching from!

[@romip3908]

From Korea! Your music is cooling down this hot, sticky weather ;) Looking forward to your concerts in Seoul this August

[@pamelama2904]

Hello from Hong Kong

[@elli7105]

Greetings from Germany

[@wakingtheworld]

UK.... and I would love you to come here, Ray. I never tire of Four Seasons. Loved your interpretation. I know one shouldn't put limits on goals but this is one piece that will elude me.... Am only 2 years in, learning violin and currently nursing a fractured right wrist so am sorely missing playing right now.... hoping also that I will regain full mobility.

[@A4amad3us]

California :D

[@jimtomasko3838]

The passion, sensitivity and virtuosito that Ray puts into his performances is unmatched IMO. I love the strong emotional connection that he makes with each piece he plays. And he was smiling by the end of this stellar rendition! A fan from the USA.

[@chriss6356]

Calm down, don’t cream your panties.

[@willy_wombat]

Well said and soo true ❤

[@karentravis2357]

Totally agree. He finds joy in every piece he plays and that comes across to the listener.

[@burnbook3076]

I love how I can never tell how old this dude is. He literally never ages, and his playing only gets better. Props to Ray for being Ray Bae and a Violin champ!

[@mellissadalby1402]

Ray, I love your playing. Ray Chen ROCKS!

[@user-nv2ri1wt6w]

Thanks!

[@LeonorFiniCat]

I've never heard it interpreted like this before. It's lovely.

[@rykehuss3435]

Its actually garbage, completely ruins the piece. Its supposed to be baroque, not romantic

[@susandonnelly3800]

Thanks you Ray Chen you're so talented and have helped my boyfriend by bringing him calm, to his storms. He has PTSD thank you very much keep up the excellent technique and violin playing ❤️

[@American-Jello]

All of the musicians played with such passion in this video, I just loved watching and listening to them. What a privilege it was for those who were able to be there in person.

[@user-il2kv4pq2w]

I don’t know where to begin. I think I first saw a collaboration with a piano guy and from there went to watch other videos and clips. The passion you had playing with him and how you show him where to jump in for effects, I could see you both had so much fun. I got suggestions of many other violinists after that but there was something missing for me personally. I wanted the fun in how you guys played together and honestly I love your interpretation of four seasons, I’ve listened to them so many times now that I actually recognize your way of playing other pieces too 😂 It’s amazing how one person’s passion for instrument can give another person a rollercoaster of emotions and passion for music they never favored before. There’s a show on a movie/tv platform where it’s very suitable, I hear it there too 😁 well one in particular but I hear you in more. Thank you for getting my ears back to wanting to hear music again ❤️ Sweden here btw

[@olivergila7530]

Ray, it is such a joy to watch you play! Thank you for inspiring the world to enjoy classical music.

[@blytheanneliese5408]

I love how Ray Chen brings something new and unique to every piece he plays. He's incredibly creative and artistic as well as technically exceptional, and he gets you invested in the music no matter what he's playing. Wonderful interpretation 👏👏👏

[@MaxsudEmbergenov-vc1ve]

Браво👏👏👏

[@karentravis2357]

Wow wow wow wow wow love love love love love this interpretation. Thank you Ray and all the other musicians for this electrifying performance.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@wakingtheworld]

These would be my words too.... though I'd have added an extra Wow! Have just re-listened to this today....

[@ani6230]

Support from Hong Kong! Ray is truly amazing!

[@gasserrosmarie3011]

Wonderful 💜

[@christaherwig0404]

I heard it when Ray practiced it at Tonic's practice room! But now when I see it, it takes my breath away. I love the original by Vivaldi. But the way Ray plays it here with such concentrated energy and virtuosity, I'm incredibly fascinated. Thanks for sharing here and thanks for Tonic, Ray Chen🎻❣️

[@hayoolleeviolin9779]

I have Tonic but I still can’t figure out how to listen to him practice!!!! I followed him but I still can’t hear him practicing…… How do you listen to him on Tonic???

[@christaherwig0404]

@@hayoolleeviolin9779 Sometimes the notification works on Tonic, sometimes it doesn't. I often look at the list of who is currently practicing. With the time differences, it is often more difficult. Good luck, eventually you will hear Ray!🎻😊

[@JosephMusgrove]

No boring presentation there. Ray Rocks!

[@sanniedejongh0901]

Wow super Ray..!!🎵❤️👍

[@claudiat.3887]

I love Tonic. When you are feeling down, you can go, and listen to people practicing, so suddenly you are happy, feel much better, and motivated to practice 🤩🤩

[@Yume-Hanabi]

Winter is my favorite of Vivaldi's seasons, and I love your interpretation here. Fantastic performance!❤

[@cathtaylor8878]

Look at that bow fly! Whew!

[@wakingtheworld]

Yep, indeed.... Makes me wonder if I could ever play this piece.

[@aztekboyca]

Beautiful

Nobody can ever play better than him❤❤😊😊 I am so lucky that I found a great roll model like youuuuu!!!!!😊😊

[@ameliashou7703]

Amazing! I’m from Toronto Canada

[@JSB2500]

Vengerov: ~"If you didn't break some bow hairs, you didn't play it right". Ray played it right!! 😅 Truly wonderful performance - passionate and authenticate. I like to think of it as the first ever performance of this work, back in the 1700s. 😃

[@MattB90]

I usually hate the hyperbole that always gets thrown around whenever someone plays a piece but this was undoubtedly the best interpretation of this piece i have ever heard, its so interesting and dynamic. It wasnt different for the sake of being different but it really added a lot to the piece itself. I love that Ray is at a point in his career where he is just heavy on adding his own interpretations to pieces he's no doubt played many times. There will be some misses due to individual tastes, but we will also get some amazing gems like this

[@oliveyoo3545]

Absolutely perfect! ❤

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

So intense!!!! Love this! That smile at 3:33 says everything. I am envious but moreover inspired, Ray-you tackle so many different, varied projects. And you bring so much to every one of them.

[@leilayh]

what a beautigul performance, I love it. Thanks for sharing it with us who cannot be there.

[@Maruri-Luna]

I love this performance! I'm rooting for you from Japan🥰

[@saidtheactress]

Easily one of the most spirited renditions I’ve ever come across. Bravi!

[@violajames]

It's the type of passionate playing where you can imagine that somewhere in the heavens, angels were taking bets. "Okay, how many hairs is he gonna lose on his bow this time?"

[@sonysss5813]

ME ENCANTA

[@christianemichelberger8245]

Absolutely outstanding! The app even works wonders for this 72 year old violist! 😊

[@aaronnam1444]

Dear Mr. Chen! It's me again! I got into a little altercation the other day, thankfully I got home safe. But what I learned was, the meaning of life, such as time, the universe, nature, science, all revolve around your voice. It does what your voice tells it to do. That "voice" is God.

[@kevinlu9339]

We live in an incredible time where we get to interact on an almost personal level and get insights from probably the best young violinist in our century.

[@khajiitkitten5679]

Gorgeous, of course!! And I can see you becoming a conductor in the future... The next video came up automatically and it was from 7 years ago in Venezuela, the CRAZY Bach double concerto...with Ray holding a baton! WooooHoooooo! I had no idea when I made the comment above about you becoming a conductor! 😺

[@natashafranko4951]

That music was so beautiful, you are such a talented musician. Exquisitely beautiful 😊

[@leosogo1467]

Watched your Tchaikovsky concerto live in Sydney Opera house on Wednesday night🎉. Thanks for making my first violin concert experience great!

[@sassesgirl]

So beautifully done, and the silent communication from all playing is just so great to watch!
