My mom: You shouldn't listen to metal, that's the devil's music
Meanwhile, the actual devil's music:
♡Omg yessss yur spitting facts♡
@@themaskedmusicians2812 ye
I mean lucifer was an angel - of music - and while i respect metal and some of the messages it contains - this feels more close to him ?
Metal is more like deaf people's music....
Pop music is the real devils music smh
I tried possessing him halfway through to improve it.
He kept resisting though.
Satan LMAOO
You just gonna try your hardest... don’t give up!
Satan you drunk go home plz
thats why it is so slow... i got you lil devil
Thanks Satan
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.
haven't heard this version of the story before, thank you!
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.
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.
seeing his sweat and the broken bow string really shows how much effort goes into it;; sounds spectacular too
@spectre I agree not even SooBean and Jeon play the cadenza how Rey does
yes

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.

Definitely Convinced that anyone that can play this without missing one note definitely sold their soul. Literally breathtaking music. Wow
His soul and talent were blessed and not by any evil being. :-) Breathtaking indeed.
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”

@@timotheysan3605 That's True 🙃
honestly I cry every time I hear it. But you really have to listen start to finish to have this tension build up. Then the finale is just grandios.
Only the first time? I've listened to this many many times and it still has same effect:)
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.
great👍
Thanks for tears
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.

I see kreisler everywhere, what is up with him? Can you please explain? Please
@@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.
@@fatpun1948 what is it with him arranging violin pieces for violin? Am I missing something? Thanks for answering though!
@@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.
@@fatpun1948 thanks @fat pun for replying and answering my queries, again, thanks a lot 😊
Few soloists other than Ray Chen can combine such golden tonality with such golden personality

Amsterdam sinfonietta baaabyyyyyyy
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)
As a guitar player, I look at Ray's left hand, and I'm in awe! These arpeggios are insane... violin is such an expressive instrument.
11:53 My jaws have fallen on the ground...
OMG!! I thought they were mine! Give me a call and I'll give 'em back to you.
Is there a finder's fee??
I wish I had multiple jaws
He was posses during playing cause the devil recognize its own art and took over the asian body.
Same here. This has so much in common with an epic thrash metal guitar solo.
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!!!
Wonderful .
I would have jumped up at the end of this and shouted bravo through the hall! Why did no one even stand??? This was an INCREDIBLE performance!!
They don't have emotions... Northern people are like that🤣
Dutch people tend to be rather sober. Believe me they apreciate it as much as anyone. They just don't show as much passion as southerners or Americans
@@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.
@@madzi9574 You clap respectfully at the very end never in between and this whole shouting bravo think is very cringy for the musicians
Seriously deserved a standing ovation
the bow's horsehair is breaking at the end, that's how savage this piece is. He did an amazing job!
makes me wonder how many bows he used while practicing.
When playing the devil's trill... you gotta be close to sawing the strings in half to really get the feel of the song. lol
Some sacrifices must be made to play the devil's sonata
You can tell the soloist REALLY likes this song!
It’s a piece, not a song.
"To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is unforgivable." -Beethoven
Sometimes i listen to this when I'm sad because it's so beautiful, and it is so beautiful it sometimes brings a tear to my eye
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.
It's helping me right now
It's helping me right now

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
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.
I love how everyone is standing around him at the end for a moment just staring...
Ray Chen is a fantastic violinist
He is decent
@@rykehuss3435 fantastic yes
I could watch this guy play the violin all day. You can feel the passion through the way he plays the violin.
Those who feel lost, rotten and have a dark soul will still be listening to this 50 to 100 years from now. Our children's children and so on...🤔
4:26
Idk why I just saw this and I suppose that Ray thought:
"sht I let the stove on"
The devil himself came and said hello
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 swear everything sounds better when you dream
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.
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?_
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
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! 🎼🎶🎵🎻
or the bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*^*)
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.
Lucifer was the head of the choir in heaven before he became the devil.
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.
@@RishaadKhan So then we can say Lucifer was the first choir director ever.
I couldn't help but smile when Chen executes the hard passages with such mastery and musicality. What a delight to listen!
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!
this makes my hair stand on end, there's so much emotion and passion in this piece.
Exactly ..so many chills ..
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
I think Ray would have to be my favorite interpreter of pieces with some darkness and drama to them. During the fast trill part, I can imagine the Devil himself playing it to Tartini!
Felt like devil already claimed his soul the moment he started playing.....😰😰😰
This is the one piece that I'll listen to if I ever feel unmotivated to practice, so motivating. Ray is a beast.
Imagine writing this all down from a dream 😦 Crazy how the song was written
I have never ever heard the cadenza played that cleanly! That was amazing I love the way Ray Chen plays this!
vedendo il violinista mi sembra proprio che stia suonando una danza per belzebu`in persona. Un`esecuzione bellissima e veramente "personalizzata". BRAVO Ray Chen !

Its the best part of the entire Sonata
when his bow strings starded snapping this turned from epic to legendary performance
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
É como se meu corpo se esvaziasse de vida e virasse uma casca seca e enquanto isso meu espírito viajasse entre universos.

La Sonata "El Trino del Diablo" de Tartini es una pieza legendario del repertorio de violín. La interpretación de Ray Chen junto con la Amsterdam Sinfonietta en un concierto en vivo debe ser una experiencia impresionante. La combinación de la destreza virtuosa de Ray Chen y la habilidad artística de la Amsterdam Sinfonietta probablemente resulta en una interpretación emocionante y cautivadora.

Ray Chen ROCKS!
Tartini was the first concert violin in Padua and composed naturally for this instrument. His sonatas are famous and fascinated by their virtuosity. The best known is “Devil's Trio”. This music is based on a dream by Tartini in which the devil appeared in his room, strolling with a violin and a bow in his hand on the composer’s bed, he woke up and listened to music with trills and folded notes, as he had never heard before. At dawn the vision disappeared and Tartini wrote this diabolical composition. It is a work of superb value, although the story being told is to be doubted. During the life of this extraordinary composer, the fame of Italian music spread throughout the known world, being completely dominated by the Italians, just as a century before, the Flemish had the same situation. Italy gave music, performers and singers to all European courts, a fact that continued to be true during the nineteenth century.
This symphonietta has an amazing sensitivity and only could have been composed by a great violinist like Tartini. The delicacy of its cadence are extraordinary. The interpretation is sublime.Thanks for this magnificent recording.
Beautiful, its a best piece of Tartini
In my opinion Ray Chen is the inheritor of Yehudi Menuhin. He has the same sound, lyricism and phrasing. The main difference is that his performances Are more accurate and secure than Yehudi's.
Something about this piece makes it really stand out to me lol it could be that it's the most beautiful violin concerto I have ever heard in my life.lol so this is what comes of a Faustian bargain. Very nice. I like lol
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
