Thanks for watching! See the full performance video from me and Karolina here: ua-cam.com/video/FlabQi_cz-Q/v-deo.html 🏴☠️
This is absolutely amazing! I've been following your channel for years now and love your positivity.
唔該!
I'm only an amateur guitarist of 50 years who has mostly played pop / Rock, with some classical and Flamenco. I believe without question, the violin is the most difficult instrument to master and Ray Chen is an absolutely phenomenal player! On a scale of 1 to 10, he's an 11!
Great stuff.....hope you do more with karolina ray
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
I think the audience did not necessarily react to the genre of music but rather the passion and musicality and skill of each performer. Ray would slay playing anything-here you see the crowd grow and be amazed. Thank you for this collaboration.
That’s such a good comment!
Thats not all. Obviously a song made for violin will sound better than a song that was not made for violin.
NO siemore,es ASÍ...,HAY MUCHA GENTE IGNORANTE... que NO "conoce",la MUSICA CLÁSICA...
@@MLaval-qo7en That's a very condescending remark concerning the human value system.
@@normasmith1511Don’t agree, it’s all about the player. Vanessa Mae would always slay classical and pop songs on the violin as Ray clearly did. Once you e achieved beyond consummate playing you make and song sound amasing. Enjoyed this video immensely.😊❤
It's not just listening to classical.... it's listening to RAY CHEN play classical!!!!
Exactly the point.....it sounds different when it's Ray Chen
@@lawrenceduo2379 everything with Ray Chen sounds better. HE makes it better!! ❤️ ❤️
Those audience on the street were so lucky to be able to hear a world class violinist playing such beautiful classical music for free....❤
you mean two world class violinists right
he said classical music not pop@@hexabr
@@hexabr Nothing against Karolina, but a violinist and a professional classical violinist are not the same thing. They don't live in the same world, it's a completely different ballgame. It's like saying Lindsay Stirling is as good of a violinist as Hilary Hahn. Classical violinists, even prodigies are required and always train their arts to perfection. You cannot make even the most minute mistake when you do a classical concert. You miss a note in pop violin play, literally no one cares.
I thought the classical music won, it looked like more people stopped at classical. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED both.
I love how karolina just plays straightaway and Ray feels the need to first tell everyone what he is going to play 😂
@@HRkapitan doh she's doing duets with him in the video, are you blind and deaf or just brainless?
@@quenoselecruzenadie
Agree.
It’s the recital procedure embedded in him 😅
I honestly think both of them have amazing talents in different ways. This video needs to be watched…😊❤
Personally, I prefer classical, but I think out of all the violinists, Karolyn’s really delivers pop music the best
And out of all the classical musicians, Ray is one of my top favorites.
Indeed
Karolina is also a great classical violinist.
@@satinbarbi how do you know?
@@MishaSkripach Because I have ears and have heard her play.
@@satinbarbi Sorry, if you heard her classical and like it, you don't have ears. Simply speaking,m your ears are not trained to hear defects and flaws in violin playing.
As a classical and a pop violinist its really nice to see this kind of collaboration 😁
@@hamwhacker thank you! 🙏🏼
classic trained musicians make pop music so much better
“You’re just some walk by violinist!???!”😂 When you scanned the audience his expression made me think that he knew who he was! It seemed to me that there was a larger crowd during the classical performance. Ray is just amazing. So is Karolina.
Yes, Ray immersed himself deeply in his feelings in Schindler's List. You can tell that he is used to playing such profound pieces. I came across Karolina's channel by chance and haven't been able to leave it since 🤗
The longer they were playing the more people gathered to listen to incredible music, so if he started, there would have been a bigger crowd for her too.
It’s just nice to enjoy the music and when there is more than one, people stop to see what’s going on, I am sure they enjoyed them both so much!
Ray is not only bringing pop and classical together, but is further stepping out of the comfort zone by doing live collabs! I can't wait to see what this will evolve into. Thanks for this creatively entertaining video! Good job!
Karolina is bringing pop and classical together since she invited Ray to perform
They’re both incredible ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful collaboration guys, I love both so it's a tie for me, imagine Ray playing pop so cool, wonderful job by Karolina, she's never nervous and I think it's cool Ray went to her street to play, great job.
She is too young to get nervous.
@@stevenmeyer9674that's not it she is confident
Yes, you are right and music is intended for everyone. Many people would not be able to pay the price for a concert ticket. Karolina and her family give it to them for free. You are truly blessed. I came across Karolina's channel by chance and haven't been able to leave it since 🤗
Greetings from Germany
To see a master such as Ray Chen choose to invest time into visiting this young lady on her stage is both gracious and genius... I believe he recognizes she presents a passion for her music and performance that all maestros could learn from... Karolina, now 15 years old, isn't out there trying to compete... she welcomes Ray Chen to her world, now lets put some smiles on these faces... She recognizes he is one ot the top 1% violinist in the world... at the same time you can hear a confidence in her voice and performance very few at this age pocess... In my opinion she is one of the purest role models for young artist on UA-cam... Hard work, stands strong in her faith and the love of family...
Confidence in performance is a thing one either possesses or not, age is not of relevance.
She invited Ray
@@MishaSkripachNo, you can acquire it with time and experience.
@@mathisg.8393 No, not everyone.
good musicians can make you enjoy their music. Great musicians just grab you no matter what they play (even if the music genre is not your cup of tea). You have such a power.
It doesn’t matter if it’s pop or classical. Beautiful is beautiful.
False. Classical music is objectively higher.
It’ll be fun if they switched roles with Karolina doing classical and Ray doing pop.
@@toivotraks no one wants spoilers dude, quit replying to everyone with this or Ray blocks you
Lol no..
I personally prefer classical, but it is undeniable that she's got TONS of charisma and it's really hard not to like her. She could play like a pre-schooler and I think I still would like her, haha! I just like her energy as a person overall.
The more of her performances you see the more impressed you will be. She is amazing
He gave her a masterclass on playing the Mendelssohn violin concerto. And she gave him a masterclass on performing pop violin music outdoors and interpretive dancing! I love their collaborations!
I feel like when you listen to Ray Chen playing classical pieces, it's nothing you haven't heard before, even though it's amazing. I was, however, very impressed by his pop song playing. It was a lot more expressive than you usually hear from a busker. Man needed to remind us that he's a world-class soloist lol
I mean, people are more tied to the pop music because they know the song. So I think it will draw people in. That being said, you and Karolina said it best. Your technique, her poise and command of the audience, bam!
Do people even realize, they are standing before the greatest violinist of our generation?
Quite incredible, really. And of course brilliant and beautiful Karolina!
Ray Chen isn't the greatest of our generation. Hilary Hahn is.
That was fun to watch. I hope you publish the duets that you did with Karolina or give the videos to her since her sound cards were stolen. You showed a little bit of the duets but there was so much more and I think yours and Karolina's fans would love to see them.
Good detective work n follow up!! Aces!!
👍👍🧙♂️👍👍
What duets did they play?
@@TwoSetViolinEditsone was the theme from Shindlers List it's on her you tube channel
I remember Ray commented about her in the prodigies' video, and now here they are together! This collab is marvellous! I loved her advices to Ray, like "don't be weird" hahahah
See their first full version fun collab at Karolina Protsenko Violin. And more to follow.
The classical music pieces Ray played were totally accessible and brilliantly played.
You both have such a great stage presence which (along with nice pieces/songs and the matching skills) is what prevents the people from walking by; you just have to stop! That's one of the most amazing skills to accomplish 👏
Это идёт от открытости, чистоты восприятия мира, внутренней харизмы, желанием щедро поделиться этой внутренней красотой, сделать мир добрее... Красота спасает мир...
💙💙Two professionals Ray Chen and Karolina are so amazing doesn’t matter what you play classic or pop you both sound amazing..it feels that it comes from the heart❤❤❤❤❤right to peoples hearts ❤️ a❤❤❤
The whole concept of Classical and Pop music coming together is just delightful. Whatever the genre music, when it is respected and played well, it is such a beautiful thing - thank you to the amazing Ray Chen and the lovely Karolina for showing us true music. That was so wonderful, only wish I could have been there! That was a very special once-in-a lifetime performance - one for the memory to play over, and over again.
That was amazing from you both. Music is not meant to be confined to a concert hall or group of people, it is meant to be shared with everyone, and by doing this you’ve shared something that people will keep with them forever. Years from now, the people that were there aren’t going to remember the shoes they bought that day, they’ll remember your performances ❤
That's very well said! 👍👍👍
By the way, the first full version fun collab is up at Karolina Protsenko Violin. More to follow.
Yes but people have to get paid and Ray is a professional musician who worked very hard to achieve that level of skill. So it definitely does not need to be free. This was just publicity. But people should pay for art.
Such a great collab, beautiful performances by both, both are the very best human beings, kind and loveable and amazing in their genres
There you go: it's the "kind, loving human beings" idea that is most precious: we all long for Beauty, Harmony, Peaceful and Loving relationships, no matter where we are from: Music and, I think, Classical culture in general, whether it be Poetry of Pushkin, or EA Poe, or the Dramas of Shakespeare, or F. Schiller, the Human Soul longs for such inspiration and celebrates such Universal values. Thank you, young artists, and especially the parents of K. Prosenko for encouraging their daughter in this way -- to pursue her music and share it nobly on the streets and in cyberspace, for the whole world! Love to you all
Looking foward to this, I'm subbed to both channels too, I'm happy you went to see Karolina Ray, she is wonderful and deserves your attention
She invited Ray
I love classical music and pop music. What I love about Karolina, she has a beautiful soul and when she plays her violin with so much passion it touches you. She’s an inspiration to us you can accomplish everything in life. She’s my role model and inspiration. A true musician as Karolina has a divine spiritual power that connects to our souls through her music.
That was brilliant! Two of the violin 'greats' come together, proving that both classical and pop can be amazing when played well and in a good spirit. Thank you Ray for bringing classical music to a wider public. Karolina, amazing as always!
I love both because you’re both genuinely enjoying what you’re playing and it shows. People pick up on the energy. Wish we could have heard/seen more of your duets! Ray’s playing and technique is amazing as always. Karolina had an entire mini performance with accompanists! Just very enjoyable to watch even in video form. Would have been amazing to be there
I just love the way you love music. You’re so passionate, witty, jolly, and humble in a way of pushing yourself and being always humble to learn things from others.
Ray is a Master. Never heard of him till Karolina found you. Karolina, you"re Awesome!
Can't tell if it's a cheeky joke comment or not... but I honestly hope it's sincere.
She is little too old to play on the street and collect changes.
👍👍👍 excellent
I can’t wait to see them perform together they are two amazing musicians
They performed several duets together. Her sound cards were stolen so she is unable to publish the duets. I'm waiting to see if Ray posts the duets
@@AttilaLothrigel thank you
@@AttilaLothrigel
👍🐺🧙♂️!!
Their fun collab of Pirates of the Caribbean is up on Karolina's violin channel.
Both is the answer!
We ❤ both of you and each is the best at what you do 😀
Even if Ray and Karolina played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the crowd would be amazed because they are both exceptional violinists and entertainers. That said, I loved to see the happiness on people's faces when Ray played Vivaldi. Congratulations on a great video!
As a classically trained musician myself, I have more overall respect for classic. I find enjoyment in hearing pop, and can appreciate it for what it is.
I would think that Ray knows, and would hope most of his subscribers also know that this girl is classically trained in violin and ballet and has performed classical violin in Carnegie Hall.
seriously? Especially in ballet?
Classical always touches to the soul and heart directly.
I'm very excited to watch this. I've followed Karolina for 2 years now and Ray for over a year and it's very exciting to see these two collaborate. This could be a banger
I saw them perform duets together in person. Karolina's sound cards were stolen so she can't post the duets. I am hoping Ray posts them. There were 3 or 4 duets. He had a film crew there so he has it. If he doesn't post them I think it would be nice if he gave them to Karolina. We will see
Wow! Lucky you!
Ohh yeah that was so sad. When I saw the video karolina posted about the stolen cards I was in shock. It is so unfortunate that the time it happens is when there's real sentimental value. (Fortunately, they didn't stole her violin). I am hoping to see karolina perform whenever I go to LA (quite complicated to get there from Spain), it must be awesome to see her perform (and ray too, obviously) @AttilaLothrigel
And it seems Ray's team came to rescue - the first full version collab is up at Karolina Protsenko Violin. A fun video.
So wonderful! To see you both together. 💖 It’s Karolina’s natural joy that makes her playing so incredible.
This was really a great opportunity to expand musically allowing the public, you and Karolina to play. I mean that everyone expands and hears classical music in an everyday venue. It was fun to watch!
People are enough lucky to see the free live performance of great violinist RAY CHEN.Master of classical music
karolina is amazing in pop.
I would have stood there ALL DAY for any of Ray's performance. One NEVER sees the level of his virtuosity on the streets of LA.
Gosh......this is beautiful.. I wish I was there, watch my idol play...you have really touched my life Ray chen
LET’S PRACTICE TOGETHER:
Download my app Tonic (tonicmusic.app/practice-now) 🎵 to feel supported and motivated while you practice🎉I might even drop by your practice room!
A small and gentle girl in the sea of music, dance, singing and commotion, and amidst all the hardships and efforts with determination, has now become a worthy and admirable lady whom we all love. Because God loves her. May He love us in the true sense. He has because he is very kind.
wish you posted the full songs really wanted to hear your Vivaldi and see how many horsehairs you broke lol
Thank you for sharing. More celebrities should do that. And Karolina is a rising star. Hope you take her under your wing and guide her in her young years.
This was a lot of fun. Thanks, Ray! With Ray Chen there, Karolina's playing was better than ever.
You two are excellent artists. This collaboration is just perfect🎻🎼👏🏼
You can't play a vivladi four seasons and not expect some sort of crowd
Schindler's List...you both broke my heart when you played this beautiful, haunting song...absolutely beautiful.😚
Ray is really good at pop and should play more. More with Karolina too. We need it.
this was one of the most beautiful video i've ever watched on youtube. you should do this more ray
You were both amazing. I'm a long time classical music lover, so it was so nice to see a little mix. Love and blessings to both of you.
Lots of love to a guy who can put the seriousness of the classical music hall a little bit to one side and have fun busking with his amazing talent at the Santa Monic Promenade. That takes thinking way outside the box and it takes a lot of guts. I'm just delighted that Ray and Karolina are friends and performing together. We want more. Puh-lease!??!!
I would love a free Ray concert... Both were amazing.
They will be uploading several collabs free. The first full version collab is now up at Karolina Protsenko Violin.
My two favorite violinists ! Together !!! I LOVE the two of you collaborating. I hope you will continue to perform together many, many times. Also, bring more classical music to the world in public places, it will be our refuge in tough times.Thank you for this special treat. Love you both.
Your music gave me chills❤. Both you and Karolina played beautifully. Great video! Also makes me happy to see people enjoying classical music outside the concert hall.
I think that classical music technique is quite amazing
Tellement de talent !! Ray Chen et Carolina beau duo !!👍🌟
Both genres music is great and so were the performances 👏🎻😁
Great video! Love it when top classical musicians give up on the elitistm/snobbery and can have fun with other styles such as pop.
Well said i love your comment
There was a lot of emotion and complexity in the classical music. I could also hear all your classical training through the pop performance. You put on a good show and definitely captivated an itch that some of those bystanders didn’t know they had!
It's gonna be my favourite of meeting a classical violinest playing at the street ❤
Una vez que CONOCES la música CLÁSICA...,¡le AMAS incondicionalmente!...❤
You Ray Chen, are the newest member to my subscribed list, after seeing you with Karolina Protsenko. Wonderful.
I love listening to you and Karolina!
When Ray started to play, tears welled up in my eyes. The music deeply touched my heart. This is how I perceive the difference between pop and classical music. I could listen to Ray playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto all day long.
We have been waiting for this combination (Duo) for quite a while. Best regards on this new video.❤ UK
We know that Karolina plays classical, and just saw Ray play pop. What I would love to see is the two of them playing a mashup of both where they switch from one to the other mid-song. Some pop songs lend themselves to a classical riff between verses and vice-versa. I'm sure an audience would love it.
Karolina, where do you find this talent? Karolina is so special!
Maestro Ray Chen 🌹🌻🍀
This was great fun to watch and listen to
Both these young players make music of any genre enjoyable for all!!
Well done
Do many more together!
I loved this collaboration 💜❤️💜
Extremely amazing, emotional, inspiring, professional and absolutely unique duet(s) with Karolina, you both are outstanding, awesome, etc., performing together!
Karolina really deserves to be supported more directly now, making her dreams to become true, for example to present her wonderful way of playing the violin directly in concert halls. It looks like your impression is that she is ready for that - exceptional with 15 years!
I'm sure, YOU will continue, supporting her.
Great 'job', 'Cocker Spaniel' from Germany. ❤😉🙋♀️
Karolina takes my breath away ! WOW !
Love both pop and classical music❤
Karolina is also a brilliant classic violinist. She’s very humble and a perfectionist. She also performs and plays super difficult classical pieces by heart, no wonder pop is super easy to her, like for us to breathe. She practises classical music to high level, multiple hours daily. Like for dance, if you have a classical basis, you can be excellent at other genres.
I 100% agree. Karolina Protsenko Vlog - shows her classical recitals / concerts. People only have to scroll down the page, on her vlog, to find her classical performances. She sings, plays guitar, piano and studies ballet. Add to that, fluency in Russian, English and Spanish.
I felt nervous too. It must really be nerve-racking to see the raw reaction of people in the streets, but you and Karolina really are great performers and you two absolutely nailed it! I definitely enjoyed this!
Ray, a master of violin! 👍👍
Excellent video Ray. Watching you and Karolina perform together was amazing. It is not the genre of the music that's being played that matters, but the individual who is playing. The passion, skill, dedication and focus is what comes through to me. You and Karolina both have all that and more. Truly a pleasure to listen to. Loved the K and R News logo that was thrown up during the interviews. ❤👍😃
Truly well said.
Cheers from Australia!
@@unmappedinsights4787 Thank you Kate. Hope all is well with you. Best from Kentucky!
👏👏👏Musica encantadora!! Felicitaciones y gracias a ambos!! Excelente idea!! Por más música en las calles!! ❤
Karolina is such a beauty!
amazing Ray Chen congratulations!
Шик, блеск, красота! Молодцы, спасибо за выступление! 👏👏👏💐
It was a great collaboration Ray with Karolina Protsenko & you both are amazing & thanks for sharing video, Have a great day 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👍🏻
Amazing duet and competition at the same time. Both of you are amazing violinist.
I just love to see the humble but yet the greatest violin player Ray Chen. He is an instrument and Master to teach and guide the sweet and genius Karoline. Thank Mr. Ray for giving Karoline and to the world your talent and brilliant music to our hearts. He is so handsome as well and very charismatic.
You both are very talented and sound wonderful. Enjoyed your outdoor concert very much!
Ray should do more pop covers. I loved the improv
I like Karolina’s Music more, she’s the best I ever listened to. ❤
The music,only has to touch the spirit and heart
É impressionante ver o domínio de ambos em seus estilos!! Não importa o estilo , musica é universal e tem o poder de atrair e impactar a muitos !! Parabéns a vocês por nos proporcionar um verdadeiro espetáculo desses!! 👏🏾👏🏾😁😁
Nothing compares to classical music well played. And even when Ray plays the pop song you can hear the difference in his beautiful tone.
There both great and wonderful players ❤
karolina is my hero
Next time I would like to hear both of you play the Double Violin Concerto in D Minor. Amazing violinists 😊
Looking forward to it, both are amazing! 👍💕
I was raised on classical and opera, played the violin for 7 years in JR HS and HS. I was terrible, but enjoyed being part of a HS symphony orchestra. I'm 76 years old & enjoy all sorts of music, but classical is the core. Karolina is absolutely amazing! as are you. I watched he Master Class with you & it was very instructive. Actually Karolina's channel is what led me to you. Thank you for the music!
