I met  

Ray is a world class violinist that has played in many concert halls around the world. To be able to listen to him play even a single piece in public for free would be enough to make anyone’s day.

I feel that Ray Chen likes to perform on the street very much recently. I am very happy to see him enjoying the stage so much. He is a role model for us music students.🤩🔥

Because of this video, I looked up who he is and I am now going to see Ray Chen perform in my city in April!!!

This exact video got me to start playing the Violon. I was so touched and inspired the day I heard this duo and I got to know who's Ray Chen and the world of Violon and just 2 month after this video I started playin. Now I've finished suzuki 1 in a month at the age of 19 and my teacher can't believe how much I loved playin even tho I never had a big interest in Violon before. Thanks for this video. I'll be hear each time I make a better progress to remember where I started and the reason I started as well.

Wow!!! You got to play with Ray Chen, he is one of the most incredible violinists to ever grace this planet, you did so well to keep up with him!

Love it when talented people randomly meet each other in public & start playing music as if the final boss battle began.

The Piano guy needs recognition too. Brilliant!

I am crying while watch this performance. Life so hard, it helps watching people actually still enjoying their lives. Thanks

I am jealous of the shoppers who get to enjoy the live performance for free!! What a masterpiece!

Staged or not, When I saw someone plays music in public then another person joins in. It feels strangely satisfying and gives me more faith in humanity. ❤ So happy you guys made this masterpiece together 🎉

After watching this I begin to reflect on the tremendous work Ray Chen must have put into getting so good at this. It makes it all the more gratifying that he seems to love doing it.

OMG Ray Chen!!! Seriously, I am very jealous of these people who were able to see him so close and hear his virtuosity, but at the same time I am extremely happy for them. Enjoy!!!

Ray Chen is a professional violinist AND you are a FABULOUS PIANIST!! People come up to you and ask if they can play THEIR favorite piece with you and I have never seen you refuse!!! You have an ENCYCLOPEDIC MEMORY FIR CLASSICAL MUSIC!! ❤God Bless you Both ❤️✝️🙏😇 USA

It's incredible how good his violin playing sounds even through the smartphone mic. It sounds so polished and professional.

You never know who you will share a moment with in your life journeys, and I am so glad they met each other. This was fantastic. Not only the music, but the passion and drive in Ray Chen's face said it all. I love his personality shining through his violin playing. He took control, set the pace, and brought out the best in both of them. I love these impromptu moments the best. Such a treasured jem. He must be so much fun to be around with his vibrant smile lighting up the world.

Всегда восхищают такие увлечённые, талантливые люди! Браво! А музыка бесценна. Такая музыка.

"he must be professional" Biggest understatement ever 😂 Ray is a LEGEND 🤩✨🙌

What makes ray good is how much he enjoy playing- even tho he probably has played this song for thousands times or more but he’s still happy and enjoying it every time he performs! 🎉

Ray conducted him very well with head movements. I love the insane faces!! 😂😂😂😂🎉 Also Vivaldi huge favorite, 4 seasons is an evergreen favourite for me 😊

The talent of these two to be able to play together without practice truly shows the professionalism and skill they both have.

Chen always looks like he’s having fun, which is why I enjoy watching him play. Watching someone getting joy from their life is deeply satisfying.

I love the way Ray was like "I play quite fast" and just started playing without batting his eyelids... I've literally watched this video so many times....❤

Ray Chen is magical and you did an awesome job keeping up with him on Piano - I could listen to this a million times 🙏💕Music is everything x

So many times I keep watching this. I greatly appreciate both brilliant musicians. Lucky for those present on the venue.

And for you to be able to match your playing and energy with THE Ray Chen shows how incredible of a pianist you are!!

The FACT that Ray just Played in the middle of the public that like it was so easy. He made it look so easy. Ray is one of the GOATS in the violinist world like DANG No wonder he is a Professional Violinist. Also in his recent videos he ranked this piece as easy to play on violin. I like how when Musicians🎵🎶🎼 play something that is so easy for them they put their own interpretation to it. This is what Ray does best. He puts all his passion into his playing.

I love that Ray actually flew to Paris to actually do that and the two of you together were extraordinary! Truly amazing. Getting a lot of replays.

I love how much Ray Chen loves violin. He's not just the BEST he just absolutely loves playing.

I met Ray Chen irl. He was so down to earth, super friendly and easy-going. I absolutely love this guy. When I met other famous personalities irl, not everyone had a same vibe as on camera. Ray was different. I became a genuine fan of him after that ocassion! 🔥

You can see that the people sense this is something special and that Ray's playing is extraordinary. Even people who don't know much about classical music feel that this is a very good violinist. What an energy and joy!

This combination seems even better than that performed in the concert hall. There's so much passion from both the pianist and the violinist, and it's so exciting to watch!

Wow, enjoy this summer! I can’t remember how many times I listened to it. It was the first time I listened to classical music so relaxedly and felt that the music was so close to me. Thank you😀

An honor and most privileged to see Ray Chen in public playing just for fun. His violin is so strong, loud, and so vibrant.Knowing that what is just recorded is just raw and so naturally coming from the piano and violin. Kudos for you sir Ray and Emilio.

It seems like Ray chen and Emil would be my favorite duo this time. I can see that Ray plays his violin with passion. I can feel it so clearly and Emilio's understanding of music is so vivid. The ability to have a general chemistry between musicians is important and both of them nailed it. That was crazy

Even kids were fascinated and loved it. We need to expose them to the greatest conductors & music ever written. It can change the way they think for the better. I love Vivaldi!! That was amazing!!

Both so talented and how wonderful to share with everyone

Brilliant my goodness what a treat for everyone!!! Thanks for sharing!! That was an excellent performance by both of you. Well done!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Seeing how happy Ray is while he's playing and how much fun you were having together warms my heart 🥰 You both were awesome!! 👏👏

何度見ても、レイのストリートドライブは最高です！

Love the dialogue between the two instruments…..the music is so captivating….

This post is a gem for me! Imagine watching Ray Chen in an impromptu performance of the “Storm” from Vivaldi’s Summer (Four Seasons)! Ray Chen is one of the finest classical violinists today. I can’t have enough of listening to his Bruch and Wieniawski performances.

I absolutely love his smile throughout his playing, that makes it so enjoyable to watch and listen to. He is clearly having so much fun!!

Love Ray....so gifted...so humble, amiable, real. ❤❤

Give yourself some credit for keeping up with Mr. Ray, you were amazing!

I have been a drummer for over 40 years, most of it very technical work. I absolutely love this movement in The Four Seasons because of how technically demanding it is to keep up on the rhythm. I’ve seen it played it Venice a few times (home of Vivaldi!) in the original string quartet format. This guy played the most exacting rhythmic performance I have heard. Utterly breathtaking!

Well I just cried at the end that was fucking AMAZING. Ray Chen in an international treasure. So glad you posted the whole video, and absolutely crushed it.

I have watched this video many times and it never gets old. I don’t even play any instruments and can see that this is a master level at play. Crazy! thank you for uploading it.

I love how much fun they're both having. It makes it a total joy to not only listen to but watch as well 🥰🥰

That crowd was so lucky to hear Ray Chen live!!!

Scripted or not, theres nothing better than 2 talented musicians coming together and playing a beautiful masterpiece 😁

You both have me standing up in my living room applauding and in tears. Bravo! This is such an exquisite gift to us that come across this video in passing thus enabling access to all. Grateful.🙏🏿

Ray가 바이올린을 즐기는 모습이 너무 매력적이다.. 진짜 너무 멋지고 마음이 울린다....... ❤

살면서 이런 좋은 공연을 무료로 듣는 기회는 잘없어요 거기서 연주를 듣는 분들은 훌륭한 두명의 연주자덕분에 잊지 못할 추억을 얻는 기회를 가진겁니다 부럽네요

Great version of Vivaldi's masterpiece. You sounded perfect together.

Ray Chen is incredible, however I want to compliment you as a great pianist, who was able to adjust and keep the rhythm and tempo so well. Playing music together is the best joy in the world, which makes other people happy too. I dedicated my childhood and young years to piano and choir, don’t do it for a while but your videos make me happily cry. God bless you , my respect and admiration ❤❤❤

I am so impressed with both of them...I played it so many times.

Ray Chen is a world-class violinist.... I hope the crowd know that they are super lucky at that moment!!🎉🎉🎉

I knew our violinist was no joke when I saw the fury-like focus in his eyes at the start. When he started with no sheet music and sounded professional. Now that I think of it props to them both for their showmanship being able to perform together on the spot. I almost cried. This was beautiful. If I had a tail it would have been wagging like a dog I had so much joy watching these two play together. Bravo.

So amazing❤❤❤❤. I enjoyed a lot watching you guys!

This was a difficult piece and I loved his playing. You both made it fun and beautiful. Thankyou !

Wow! Beyond the sheer genius talent of these two, i am blown away by the JOY on their faces. What an absolutely delightful performance! 💕

I am glad you kept this a complete performance. You were both amazing. Thanks.

Two masters of their instruments! That was incredible..😮

Oh my goodness… to find out you accompanied a well known violinist is one thing however it’s on another level to be able to play so well together… you are fantastic and I enjoy your videos ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Not only did you get to play with one of the top Classical violinist in the world but that was a real Stradivarius violin. That was the 1714 Strad known as "The Dolphin" is thought to be of three best of the Strad violins.

I really love this piece. Thanks for the duet!

No word is proper to say ! You guys r marvelous together ! You make the classical music so much fun to listen to ! Hopefully, more &’more people will enjoy the classicals because of you !

Holy cow he’s faster than a speeding train. And your performance on the piano is very impressive. Thanks for this

Absolutely amazing! And so glad to be introduced to Ray Chen and his violin playing. Remarkable! ❤

Absolutely brilliant.I love to see amazingly talented people play.It's obvious how much they enjoy themselves.Eveybody should be helped and encouraged to fulfil their potential like this.

How are lucky are these people to have witnessed this absolutely stellar performance by these two! I don’t think you’ll see anything as magnificent as that even if you paid for it.

Ray Chen is AMAAZING. I could definitely feel your nervousness after tou heard him but you could hear it melt away in the music. But yeah. I'm so excited you got to play with Ray! I love that for you

You're both amazing musicians. CONGRATS!

Violinist is insane but Emilio is pretty awsome too. Both are great.

Wow. I had almost as much fun watching and listening as they had performing that! Many thanks! ❤

Ray Chen is such a legend. His technique is off the charts

Wow!!!! To have Ray Chen in the same part of the world come and ask if he could perform a song with you ~ a once in a lifetime moment!! That was incredible!!

Such a lucky Audience . They all had privilege to hear that in front of two genius musician.

Wonderful! The 2 of you remind me of when my son would get challenged to a dance battle! He was just barely a teenager, but I recognized the love if a challenge bringing out your best. He always won, just as you both did ❤

Love Vivaldi, the four seasons are just on a different level.

Can't get enough of this. I've watched and listened this so may times and I till keep coming back... Ray Chen plays with such joy ❤

I don’t speak French but I was touched by this performance. Music can truly transcend language and becomes an emotion. Bravo to both !

This was FOOD FOR MY SOUL! No wonder all these people left everything and were drawn to this amazing performance!!! ❤

피아노, 바이올린 둘 다 미쳣다.... 멋있다는 말이 모자라다...

This is MAGIC! Ray Chen is fantastic... and to see the joy between you two, and the joy you gave the people... Thank you ❤

When classical music can unite so many people and they can appreciate the beauty of it…. goosebumps ❤❤❤

This is the kind of scenarios I imagine myself doing in front of other to impress random strangers 😂😂

Thank you so much for sharing this. IT WAS AN AMAZING performance! I kept giving big applausing in front of the screen. Well done gentlemen!

I got goosebumps listening. So powerfull, beautiful. His transitions were so smoth, so in tune. You both were really enjoying each other. You make me wanna play again!!

What is he travelling with his strad 😂 Ray what the hell man ❤❤

I was so fortunate to hear Ray Chen play in Vancouver a few years ago. I was moved to tears by his playing. What a talent!

Уаууу!!! Блестящая техника обоих музыкантов!!!!! Браво!❤

An absolute joy both audio and visual! Very kind of Emil and Ray, two brilliant musicians, to share their talents, and love of music with people who might otherwise not have much exposure to world class musicians. It’s heartwarming to see two people so enjoying themselves As they play. Thank you ❣️

What a talent, what a privilege to hear this from such young people.

A great display of human brilliance! Remember this whenever you hear people saying we are useless...

What a performance!! I wonder how many people there knew who he was :) imagine going to the store and experiencing this for free. The video sounds excellent, so it must have been incredible in person!

Both are just incredible. Their fingers have mighty touch and fly through the instruments. ❤❤❤❤
