For the non-violinists here: at 13:31, he is playing over 4 octaves of the note G, with his hands stretched out over 3 octaves- a technically extremely difficult thing to do - in tune, Listening to this guy is like watching an Olympic skater- watching it, you think to yourself: how hard can this be? Until you try it yourself and land flat on your bottom in the first second. Believe me, this is a lot harder than it sounds.
the impressive thing is that tartini got a really good piece, though it was not the original he had heard, which is 14-15 minutes. imagine remembering 15 mins of a dream that accurately
He didn't remember it accurately, that's the thing. He describes it in his book that "while it is undoubtedly the best piece of music I had ever written, the difference between that and what Satan played was so great that I could destroy my instrument and say farewell to music forever, had I not loved it so much".
@Maestro Dan for the sake of entertainment and argument, I’m agnostic but this implies he may have been replaced or the position is available 😂. But if so who would be the new chief musician of God? Feel like this could be a conceptual idea of some sort to pursue in the arts, or there probably is somebody w/ this ambition already.
This was next to perfection. And the fact that he did this level of playing for 15 minutes straight is amazing alone. People who master their instruments to this degree can turn them into living things producing a true voice of their own.
I like the part where the Devil's Trill blasted full volume out my speakers and my dog randomally hid under the bed and started going nuts barking its head off.
Edit: 3 years later, I had no idea this blew up😭 The story goes, Giuseppe had a hard time getting money and getting booked for playing his violin, after so much defeat, one day he got up and decided to kill himself. He stopped and thought to himself he should sleep one more night, so he did. Little did he know this would change his life, He began to have a dream of the devil walking up to the side of his bed telling Giuseppe he would make him the most famous violinist in the world, if he gave himself and his soul to the devil. Before Giuseppe could respond, the devil pulls out a violin and started playing the most beautiful song Giuseppe had ever heard in his life. Giuseppe awoke in the middle of the night and jumped out of bed, ran to his violin in order to re-create the song. Till this day nobody has still ever exactly replicated the song just as Giuseppe. Written in diaries and notebooks from the mid 18th century it is said that during the performance, you could hear bells and chimes while feeling like the room is getting smaller and smaller. Some notebooks say that after the performance, they would have a out of body experience seeing the devil clapping from the corner of the theaters he would play in.
Story goes also that Giuseppe was a very smart man, making up a story like that to get more interest towards his concerts and this composition. Aka more money
@@schnoolehelettelettoah ha lol well its a good story, and the piece is what made me fall in love with classical music, violin especially. It will always be my favorite💓
@@foxiesbluesIt's not really a version of the story, I just dont think its a coincidence that he was struggling to get publicity and interest towards his music, so he used that fact in his advantage in his story to gain more publicity and interest. Not a mere coincidence that he started getting more publicity and interest, as well as money after having this "story" leaked out. Just saying
I believe you didn't include the fact that Giuseppe himself stated that despite transcribing what he had heard in his dream, his own version had been so inferior, that Giuseppe said if he could have subsisted on other means, he would have broken his Violin and quit music forever, also considering he could live without the pleasure music had brought him.
Pretty disrespectful to this guy tbh. “Theres no way he could actually just have practiced his whole life and gained enough skill to play that, definitely sold his soul” Its like the morons who say the aliens built the pyramids bc they cant fathom Egyptians all that time ago having the mental or physical capability
I listen to this every time I need to concentrate on my work. When it stops, I know a quarter of an hour has passed, then I press repeat. Good for concentration AND timing, LOL.
Someone probably already did this but here you go: Violin Sonata in G minor “Il trillo del diavolo” by Giuseppe Tartini, Arranged by Fritz Kreisler 1. Larghetto ma non troppo 0:04 2. Allegro moderato 3:10 3. Grave 6:19 (Allegro assai 9:15) (Andante 10:02) (Allegro assai 11:03) (Cadenza by Kreisler 11:38) Movements and tempo markings vary, so I tried to stay with what the video says, hope this helps!
@@darshanpatel.1782 Kreisler was an Austrian-born American violin virtuoso. Not only he played the violin extremely well, he also composed different pieces, including the cadenza of this piece. He also composed cadenzas for different violin concerti, such as Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and Paganini. His most famous piece is Liebesleid, which means Love's Sorrow in German. It's a marvellous piece and I recommend you to listen to it.
@@darshanpatel.1782 He chose some pieces that are originally written for solo violin or other instruments and rearranged the pieces for violin and piano to perform. His Gavotte in E major, which was chosen from Bach's Violin Partita No. 3 and was originally written for solo violin, is a good example of this.
@@madzi9574 except every performance i have been to people clap when it is over. Could be they were going to perform another piece immediately after this, so you don't clap.
Not only Ray Chen's performance is legendary, but also perfect performance from the concert master of the Sinfonietta and all musicians that another great color of Tartini's sonata is given. Ray Chen's double-stopping is just so perfect!!! The big finale is just way too DIVINE!!!
The devil's trill. It was like crying in frustration. To deny its own nature is death, but to continue is to postpone death. We have this evil part in ourselves.We come face it at times, and to understand this dark side and chose not to harm one another, but become the master of it. To produce a great music, it was devilishly good.
I've never wanted to harm someone. That'd be evil. People with working empathy don't go round wanting to hurt people and trying desperately to control that urge lol. That's not normal. Whatsoever. Please seek help, you're a danger to others.
@@duffman18 nah. Even empaths have a dark side. We too experience anger, vengeance and hate. Dont deny the existence of negativity. Learn to cope with it.
11:38 to .....14:05 just go for it! Play like this is the last day of your life!!! I wonder if it felt like a couple of minutes for Ray, or an eternity. We all feel different on stage. Adrenaline takes over and often tricks your head into think 10-minutes performances were three seconds haha.
I don't play violin but man when playing guitar for me it always feels like an eternity in the moment until around the end and then realize it went by pretty fast.
@@TheUnknownReject Same in gymnastics. I always think I'm taking my time, but when I look back at the recording, it looks like it's playing at x1.5 speed. Even more impressive to stay on time while playing something so difficult in front of a whole crowd (although Ray's interpretation seem to be on the faster side)
It is said that Tartini tried to replicate what he heard in his dream played by the demon, but that he did not even come close to what the demon beautifully played. I have always believed and felt that at the end of the sonata you can hear Tartini's desperation, that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot reach the level of the devil. That final part always makes me cry every time I hear this piece.
Il celeberrimo "Trillo del diavolo" ( Devil's Trill ) di Giuseppe Tartini è una bellissima Sonata in sol minore , uno dei brani più complessi e stupefacenti composti in epoca barocca. A parte tutta la mitologia , nata attorno a questa grande Sonata, affascinante anche per l'importanza che il sogno ha rappresentato per il tormentato Tartini e per l'umanità, prima della grande teoria di Freud, la Sonata è veramente un grande componimento musicale , di grande bellezza melodica e armonica. Straordinario il violino di Ray Chen per potenza, per bellezza del suono, per la perfezione dei trilli ( che sono un'attrazione ma non l'unica peculiarità della Sonata) , per le "nuances" che sa trarre con maestria dalle corde del suo magnifico violino. Un applauso grandissimo al Maestro Ray Chen e a tutta l'Orchestra, che ha accompagnato e sottolineato con magistrale abilità tutti i passaggi del brano del Grande scopritore del "terzo suono". Un grande applauso che accomuna tutti. Grazie
As someone who has played viola for 4 years, this piece seems extremely difficult. It pays off though, as the outcome is incredibly emotional and beautiful. Props to all the people preforming in this.
The last 4 minutes feels like the devil is fighting himself and doesn't want to lose..... but in the end the devil loses on the last note. Very strong sonata.
Love watching what can only be described as proto-telepathy among these fine musicians. This is why music is so fundamental to a proper education. To learn to play is one thing, to learn to play in a group setting like this is where evolution occurs!
Ah yes! As a musician myself playing with balance in group settings is one of the rare pleasures in life! Everything just sounds so...right. to me it feels like air of warmth wraps around us as we play! Very comforting or electrifying depending on the piece!
WOW! How can a piece of music inspired by the devil be so beautiful, so MAGNIFICENT? This is an absolute masterpiece, Tartini should have felt very proud of himself after he wrote it. Ray Chen is amazing! He played the hell out of that violin! 🎼🎶🎵🎻
According to the legend Tartini considered this as a piece of trash comparing to the original sonata that was played by the devil in his dream. Really sad I love this masterpiece but for a genius’s mind, perfection it’s not enough.
The devil met the composer Tartini in his dream and Tartini gave the devil his violin and the devil played so virtuous and then Tartini woke up and transcribed it. What the devil played was so grand Tartini couldn't even replicate it.
Tartini was a superb italian violinist who accompained Mozart in his Academy at Villa Poggio Imperiale during the Mozart's first italian trip to Florence
Це виконання найкраще . Енергія , сила , відчуття . Віртуоз малює довершену картину на величезному холсті. Слухаю і просто не можу наслухатись. Все одно що спраглий хоче пити і неможе втамувати спрагу.❤❤❤❤❤❤
vedendo il violinista mi sembra proprio che stia suonando una danza per belzebu`in persona. Un`esecuzione bellissima e veramente "personalizzata". BRAVO Ray Chen !
As beautiful as this piece is, the idea that this is said to be a mere approximation/reflection of the actual music played by the demon in the dream drives me mad. This is already heartbreakingly beautiful. You're saying there's something _better?_
Good lord, that man *SHREDDED* his bow! You can see the horsehair coming off at the end! The Devil works hard, but violinists who can shred the violin AND their bow work harder.
it is amazing what Tartini composed here. When I first heard this I have never suspected that this piece would be from baroque era… like this really comes from a supernatural mind which brings this piece from future… from an another dimension
The Amsterdam Concert Hall is never empty during a concert. It is considered the place to be for classical music so the entirety of the Netherlands go there for their music needs
@@bananaborz1 exactly that. I've had the immense pleasure to visit both. And I must say (although as a Dutchie I might be biased) that the Concertgebouw is my favourite. The rich splendour of the Goldener Saal in Vienna is great, but for a concert it is rather distracting
I was speechless listening to this, I could just feel my tears rolling down my face, the artistry of Chen, and just the incredible beauty of the music took me to a different reality.
Que não seja pro capiroto essa música. Apresentação incrível. Este artista tem mais facilidade de trinar do que tenho pra respirar. A Deus toda honra e toda glória.
Lebhafte und rhythmische Aufführung dieses technisch anspruchsvollen Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit traumhaft schönen Töne der Solovioline sowie perfekt synchronisierten und gut harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Echt genialer Violinist!

Це виконання найкраще . Енергія , сила , відчуття . Віртуоз малює довершену картину на величезному холсті.
Слухаю і просто не можу наслухатись.
Все одно що спраглий хоче пити і неможе втамувати спрагу.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pretty sure I've watched this on repeat for the last week now. So damn good!

My absolute favorite piece of music. and wonderfully performed.
That's art, that's passion, that's love
vedendo il violinista mi sembra proprio che stia suonando una danza per belzebu`in persona. Un`esecuzione bellissima e veramente "personalizzata". BRAVO Ray Chen !
Gorgeous. I love this sonata, and growing to love this astonishing violinist more and more! Also a fabulous comic and pedagogue !
ray chen is a master at his craft. what an exceptional performance.
As beautiful as this piece is, the idea that this is said to be a mere approximation/reflection of the actual music played by the demon in the dream drives me mad.
This is already heartbreakingly beautiful. You're saying there's something _better?_
Goosebumps! Ray Chen is inspired!
the most beautiful piece of music i've ever heard. brought tears to my eyes
Immaculate, polished and heartfelt performance! Bravo Ray and Amsterdam Sinfonietta!
Imposible que no se te enchine la piel en toda la canción pero más en el minuto 1:12 en adelante, una delicia esta sonata
Hermosa melodía, excelente concentración, transmiten mucha paz
Ever since I first listened to this, I've come back here everyday. I especially love the last part so much, so beautiful
Ruhsal dinginliğe erişmemi sağlayan nadide eserlerden biridir. Balkondan dışarı izlerken gerçekten muazzam keyifli oluyor.
This is my most favorite piece! Ray played it perfectly!
Good lord, that man *SHREDDED* his bow! You can see the horsehair coming off at the end!
The Devil works hard, but violinists who can shred the violin AND their bow work harder.
Thank god it didnt interrupted his playing
I can't stop listening to this.
The man played so hard and so well that his bow began to come apart towards the end! Truly, Ray is a master of his art.
This is one of the classical pieces that I can hear from beginning to end and actually enjoy all parts of it ❤
it is amazing what Tartini composed here. When I first heard this I have never suspected that this piece would be from baroque era… like this really comes from a supernatural mind which brings this piece from future… from an another dimension
Kudos to the Dutch public; not a single seat was empty!
The Amsterdam Concert Hall is never empty during a concert. It is considered the place to be for classical music so the entirety of the Netherlands go there for their music needs
@@thagamerzzz much like the Musikverein in Vienna
@@bananaborz1 exactly that. I've had the immense pleasure to visit both. And I must say (although as a Dutchie I might be biased) that the Concertgebouw is my favourite. The rich splendour of the Goldener Saal in Vienna is great, but for a concert it is rather distracting
The best version i have ever heard
Algún latino observando esta majestuosa obra
Yo
claro que sí
É uma melodia triste, mas traz uma paz interior enorme
I was speechless listening to this, I could just feel my tears rolling down my face, the artistry of Chen, and just the incredible beauty of the music took me to a different reality.
Que não seja pro capiroto essa música. Apresentação incrível. Este artista tem mais facilidade de trinar do que tenho pra respirar.
A Deus toda honra e toda glória.
that last chord at 14:03 always gives me goosebumps
Its the best part of the entire Sonata
Giuseppe Tartini: wonderful Thank you lovely Germany
This my favorite Ray’s performance. He gives the feeling and intensity to this piece just right. It’s amazing.
I don’t think i can’t ever go to a violin 🎻 concert i will get so excited I’ll start crying and I’ll be embarrassed best music ever 💙💙
Lebhafte und rhythmische Aufführung dieses technisch anspruchsvollen Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit traumhaft schönen Töne der Solovioline sowie perfekt synchronisierten und gut harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Echt genialer Violinist!
Mindblowing. I can't stop going back to this piece, it's incredibly well composed.
Sempre volto para escutá-la.
Obra de arte, tenho o sonho de presenciar uma sonata desse nível ao vivo! bravoo
A big round of applause to everyone on stage, masterpiece performed to perfection!!!! \m/
I know a lot of people who underhand the beauty in this piece. The sound that this piece, the vibe and colour is truly an extravagant sound and pleasure to the ears
Gran interpretación del Violinista Ray Chen, mucha emocion causa cada nota....musica para alegrar el alma..Gracias por compartir, esta belleza.
怎麼會這麼好聽！
This performance is just outstanding, the people in the public are so lucky to see him live! absolutely amazing!!
The augmented fourth! The more I listen to the diminished fifth the more I like it.
Se necesita ser un maestro para no dejarse contaminar de la melodia y solo disfrutarla
If Tartini had been born three centuries later he would have been in a metal band.
No
@@rampgamercracka4258 Yep
No this isn't anything like heavy metal.
I love this piece so much. It’s just so interesting, yet melodious. The Cadenza is my favourite. What a time to be alive.
The deceptive cadence at 1:15 is so good I kept replaying it with my eyes closed.
La orquesta maravillosa, el violinista, fantástico. Saludos desde Madrid
