Hey there!
So to give you all a little bit of background on how and why this piece came about…
Julio and I were performing a series of recitals at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires last year (in 2017) and on one of our nights off, we visited a tango club. It was one of those super old school places where you ate dinner in front of a stage and then afterwards, the lights would go dark, and would you enjoy and amazing show of musicians, singers, and of course dancers doing tango!
It was incredible. I remember being so inspired by the passion and energy in the movements of the dancers, and even more astonished by the musicians themselves (there were so many cool techniques that they used which we don’t really get to in classical music, I’ll address those later) that Julio and I decided to make our own arrangement of a tango called “A Evaristo Carriego” which was originally composed by Eduardo Rovira (Evaristo Carriego was a very famous Argentine poet). Such a work is usually played by a tango band which consists of one or two violins, a bandoneon, piano, guitar, and double bass. That’s at least 5-6 musicians so it was a challenge to try and fit in all that music and emotion into just two players!
TECHNIQUES TO LOOK OUT FOR: There are many techniques that are used in tango by the musicians and we use a few of them in this video. The guttural sound that you hear that basically provides the beat and bass is usually done by a bass player and it’s called the “Zoom” (Julio here does it with those quick and vicious broken chords with his left hand) Then you have the “vibrato” of the bandoneon player which I try to imitate in 02:27 (that’s not me with an unintentional nervous/shakey bow folks!)
Just before that part there’s a moment at 02:02 where I swipe the piano with my hand. This is actually meant to be done to the back or front of the violin by the violinist. I’m not sure what it’s called but the sound is exactly the same. I saw it done at the tango club and my jaw hit the floor. I’m not sure how the Stradivarius would react to me if I did that.
There are many other things but honestly, the secret to tango is in thinking the movement of the dancers. If you like this video please subscribe, I will share my inspiration in the next video with this piece and you’ll understand exactly what I mean :)
Thanks for listening!

9.19 어제 서울 공연에서 이 곡 연주듣고 레이의 매력에 더 빠져버렸습니다❤❤❤❤❤
This amazing, my favorite record of this song after the Pugliese orchestra. Congratulations and cheers for your skill.
I'd love to hear more tangos from you 😁🤞🍀
I really like his tone and how his phrasing is so natural.
Ese tango, suena muy nostalgico, está genial, gracias por compartir...eres el mejor..me encanta escucharte en todas tus facetas🎉🎉🎉🎉
That hair.. I'm jealous, it looks like it's as passionate and working as hard as you are ray!! I'm so glad 2 set led me here..
Perfecta interpretación del Tango Argentino! 🇦🇷❤
It's impressive how perfectly Ray together with the pianist understood the essence of this Tango masterpiece.
Love from Argentina
Brava!!!!
Ray leaves reality and goes into his self. Inspiring
Stupenda! Osvaldo Pugliese sarebbe felice . Che tocco Maestro Chen... anche il pianista è notevole. 🔥🔥🔥🕺🕺🕺🔝🔝🔝
I went to Ray Chen’s recital last night in Carmel, IN. It was an amazing concert!!!!!❤
Ils le font ce tango ces deux instruments, avec passion, c'est magnifique 💖🎶💓🎶✨
This is excellent because of the heavy use of Rubato. Tempo freedom, within structurally appropriate timeliness, is one of the things that makes a song a "tango" song. That and many other things, such as a swaying between heavy molasses and light inquisitive strokes. I'd love to play some tango tunes with Ray sometime.
I'm really impressed. I heard you for my first time in the film "The song of names" and I waited the end for the credits to read the wonderful person played violin. I don't know enough words in English to say you how I feel but you are blessed and thank you to share with us. María.
I used to dance Argentine tango a lot and a Evaristo Carriego was one of my favorite tangos (especially Osvaldo Pugliese's version). Your rendition is absolutely beautiful and truly captures the essence of this song. I've listened to it three times already! Just perfect!
When
A must piece of music to listen to for tango lovers! Beautifully played 👏Loved that addition in minute 2:02 😉 👌
WOW!!! This is a display of powerful technique and mastery of your respective instruments which you and Julio have blended perfectly together. I love the rhythm. 🎻🎹
Impresionante!! La belleza y misterio de un tango inolvidable y la conversación perfecta de un piano y un violín perfectos. De no creer!!! ❤❤❤
Ray and Julio performed this in Shenzhen last night, it was so good!!!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️thank you Ray and Julio for bringing this surprise to us
Outstanding! The way you look playing this is the way I feel when dancing it!

He is worthy of linglings acknowledgement.
Sharlene He is ling ling
He is the physical manifestation of Ling-ling.
So fun, and a lovely arrangement. Mad props to you and Julio both - your timing together is amazing!

Dearest Ray Chen and Julio Elizalde! thank You so much..it is truly beautiful...thank You
Would definitely buy the sheet music if it were available...
En Argentina deben tener. Es un complejo y apasionado tango de Eduardo Rovira. Tiene piezas de cámara también. Búscala como "A Evaristo Carriego" de Eduardo Rovira.
Ended up here searching my last name Elizalde forever happy to know theres more!
One billion loves for this beautiful piece and outstanding performance!
Thank you Chen and Elizalde for performing this masterpiece at Ravinia. Outstanding musician and extraordinary human being you both.

Gracias a ti por tocar tan hermoso el violín
Your violin breaks my heart. Your smile, too.
I love this... Both of you, the piece, everything 🙏
Dat piano swipe tho
I loled
@[AP-STUDENT] Angel Eunice Matulac i think at 0:45
@[AP-STUDENT] Angel Eunice Matulac or at 3:55
@[AP-STUDENT] Angel Eunice Matulac well it's called glissando or piano slide or piano swipe. It's where you play a lot of consecutive keys on the piano by sliding your hand on the keyboard.
@[AP-STUDENT] Angel Eunice Matulac idk he felt like doing it😂😂
OK. I'm sold. Genuine musicianship on display here. I've subscribed.
Magnifico!!!!!!
Dat wrist vibrato tho
Wow. This is an amazing sound with just the violin and piano and no bandoneons - it's hard to get classical players to hit this sound full on. How I would love to hear what you could do with Ventarrón (wow, that would be SO much fun). Or, well, lots of others!
i watch this video at least once a day ! I really love your version, then pretty please with cherry on top, make this available on spotify .....
Happy Birthday Ray!! 🎉🎉🎉🎻🎻🎁🎁🎁🎁🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈

I'll leave it up to you on the exact selection but would very much love to listen to more creative and wonderful arrangements of this type of music !!! Bravo !!
