Plot twist: Ray's eyebrows are actually doing everything, the violin is a paid actor

But seriously, this is amazing!!

[Spartandgc]

The perfect embodiment of what it means to passionately love and recklessly abandon oneself to another soul.

[scherzometer]

My teacher handed me this solo, and without looking at it, searched it up. Thinking it would just be another solo, my jaw drops to the floor at all the stuff I’m gonna have to do. Thankfully, I am now in love with this piece, and I am determined to play it well. Great performance, and wish me luck!

[vivianguo]

Okay, everyone can agree this is the most epic violin recording ever.

[swaghilash]

6:30 is definitely giving me the transition from bargaining to depression
7:30 too
8:15 feels like clinging onto some little sliver of hope
8:35 is when it SINKS IN
AND IT SINKS HARD
8:51 never mind this is where it sinks in

OH. MY. GOSH.
I don’t even know where to begin. The sound that he produces is godlike. I can really feel the emotion and the passion. Ray is amazing. The pianist is really really good too.
“Without emotions music wouldn’t sing”

Ray Chen has an excellent mastery of the violin! The phrasing and tone are impeccable. He makes the violin sings. Wow! This rendition of Vitali is breathtaking and moving!

[aNgem]

Those octaves hit different. Such a spectacular performance, Ray! Can't wait to see you on stage again!

[interpretertranslator]

Words cannot express the beauty of this interpretation! It is beyond words!!

Non-musician here: I’ve just started exploring classical music more, and I don’t know what this piece is supposed to be about, but to me this sounds like long-lasting lovers saying goodbye to each other for the last time. So sweet and painful at the same time. Also, fantastic playing by Ray Chen!

[maeyitan]

I must have listened at least a hundred times on repeat and counting. Too awesome ❤

Magnificent piece. Beautiful violin. Masterful piano. Thank all three of you for this gift. God Bless!

[SnowJingxueWang]

Ray’s Chaconne is definitely one of my favorite!! The sound, the phrase, omg I just love everything of his play. This is perfection.

[ynkim]

유튜브에 감사하네요.
이런 훌륭한 연주를 집에서 손쉽게 볼 수 있다니!
늘 오디오로만 듣다가 실제 연주 모습을 보니 더 아름답게 느껴집니다.

[MathMith]

One day Ray Chen will come to Canada and wherever he lands, I'll be ready to roadtrip 4000 Km to see him live.

[hannahviolist]

My favourite violin piece played by my favourite violinist! This made my day!
