The third movement has some of the melody of Norwegian wood by the beatles

Sorry but heifetz's version is better

Amazing performance...

Bravooo, exelente versión, perfecta orquestación y dirección de esta grandiosa sinfonía Manfredo de PI.T.

Thank you for posting this treasure. I am going to hear it in performance today and wanted to know what to expect. I hope I won’t be disappointed after hearing this incredible artist.

Interesting at 1:13 and some other instances he has a flat {opposite of curved) pinky…

don't know the Korngold well, but will be seeing Ray play it in Toronto in January...want to see you sweat!!!

I used to attend the SLSO regularly in the 1990s where Gil Shaman would play this almost every year. Korngold goes from 12 year old scratching away to Irish fiddler, to hoe down.

Great violinist, but he plays with too much vibrato. It is his choice.

New Heiffetz welcome RAY

what an enormous shame RUclips advertising is horrific i can't listen to this music with all the interruptions

At 16:50 we see and hear a nice smooth forte roll by the timpanist to end the first movement. BRAVO

3:20 ❤❤❤❤

Probably the best version I heard on RUclips. The rendition of the powerful and dark theme at the end of mvt 1 is just mesmerizing

Dear master chen ...its me, the struggling violinist...after practicing for 20 years on my craft, i learned or should i say "had an epiphany," about practice...the more you practice technique, the more it overshadows your musicality...johnny said he quit the violin for a year because he couldnt find his voice, he thought of giving up! Thats because he works so hard on technique!!!

bravo

So romantic

It feels like he is bullying the sound out of his violin. Come out, come out! 😅

Magical

Has the largest orchestra of all the symphonies. Balakirev made suggestions, including using Berlioz's Harold en Italie as its model. Manfred, a dramatic poem by Byron, the author of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage was the suggested subject. While it's very much Tchaikovsky through and through, Berlioz's ideas stick out now and then beyond Balakirev's suggestions. The chords in the cellos and double basses are similar to the same in Berlioz's Romeo et Juliette Symphonie. The use of recurring themes are in Symphonie Fantastique, Harold en Italie and the Romeo et Juliette Symphonie. Of course Tchaikovsky could've used other models too.

9:34

It's like an opera, amazing!!

Legendary Performance!

I love it. @9:54 That is the sign of approval folks! When you pull a smile from the concert master, you doing things. The concert master sits on the jury of auditions, they are one of the true gate keepers in this profession. They have also played with the best in the world, so they know what quality playing sounds like UP CLOSE! Literally. And rightly so. Ray has move beyond to performing a concerto to the intimate craft of making music. That is why they clapped after the first movement. This is not an ignorant audience. It happens when the audience feels the first movement is spectacular, as this one was.

Dear ray...modern violinists are more technically gifted than the golden generation. However, the golden generation is more musically gifted. One word..." GRAVITY. "

Manfred Symphony is probably one of Tchaikovsky's greatest orchestral works which the renowned composer himself laboured time and energy so much. Despite that, his opinion about the work fluctuated dramatically from extreme pride to extreme hatred, and sadly enough, the symphony was underrated for a long time. However the symphony is now considered one of his supreme masterpieces, if not THE supreme masterpiece itself. Thanks for sharing.

0:31 1st movement; 10:14 2nd movement; 18:53 3rd movement.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Good luck ray!...I don't know who your teacher was, but he/she didn't teach you something. Learning is dangerous. You play the way you were taught. That's how heifetz, Johnny, and Kevin play. I never "learned" how to play the violin. My teacher told me to play "clean," "technically sound," and "expressive." That's not violin. Violin is "madness." I may be crazy, but I'd rather be crazy than normal!

Hey ray!...you know how Johnny, Kevin and heifetz play?..."interesting." You know how I play?..."crazy." Good luck and godspeed!

Hey ray! Me, my brother Johnny and Kevin Kumar all had the same teacher...Linda rose. Linda is who I call the silver generations Leopold auer. Johnny and Kevin are masters, but I'm still trying to find my own voice. The reason I keep commenting on your videos is because you remind me of Johnny and Kevin. Can I ask you something? You know who Johnny and Kevin is, even though you never met them. The violin is an extension of my soul. Can you show me your true violin skills? I think you can beat Kevin, Johnny, benny tseng, and even heifetz! It would be an honor to witness such a feat!

The conductor looks like snape

BRAVO!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Ray Chen performing this piece is SO VERY beautiful, it is my favorite performance of it!! I love to hear him play this piece so much that I come back regularly to listen to him!❤️ Thank you for the wonderful video of his and the orchestra’s gorgeous performance!

😍😍😍😍

A splended performance!!! Indeed very, very good! Thanks for posting it! Tchaikovsky is the greatest! He is number one!!!

So far, along with Markevitch the most energic and beautiful version. Congratulations to our mother Russia for the performance and for having born Наш великий композитор Чайковский Большое спасибо!!

Thanks for posting this

Grandiosa sinfonía de Pior Illich (a mi gusto personal, la mejor y mas completa de todas) y como todo el resto de su maravilloso repertorio, muy buena batuta Gabriel Bebeselea y por supuesto muy buena orquesta sinfonica, muy completa, me gusto muchisimo.-
