Just came back from a Ray Chen concert and the mad man actually debuted Rush E there as an encore 😂 it genuinely was amazing live. His playing is just world class and mind blowing!

I went to Ray's concert on Sunday and I have to say, it was one of the most wonderful and fun concert experiences ever! His Tchaik was just soooo playful and yet sweet, lots of push and pull, especially in the first and third movement and it was simply unbelievable to witness this live! Thank you so much, Ray for sharing this wonderful music! Absolutely adored your performance!!! And what made me cry was actually the encore, Waltzing Mathilda! Thank you so much for putting in fourty hours of practice every day!

I literally just watched Ray perform this live in as an encore to Korngold's violin concerto in Toronto! A fantastic performance! Well done, Ray!

This is a rush E I have never heard of. This is the best rush E I’ve ever heard of. (And will be) ❤❤ Btw, Tonic is great!!!

I love the tiny outbursts of joy in the final performance. It made me smile so much.

Duuuude, this rendition is insane! I’m happy to learn that you actually followed through and performed it as an encore 😂

I was in Munich and Ludwigsburg. Ray your Tchaikovsky is sensational. All feelings run through. I just can't get enough of your concerts and your emotional expression. Get addicted 🎻🔥❤️

Paganini would be proud! Finally, a piece of music that matches your intensity! 🔥❤⚡️🌟 I loved watching you learn and rock this!

It “has a Russian sound to it” is funny because that’s what the “rush” part means 🙂

This was beautiful. Makes me want to muster up even a quarter of that enthusiasm for literally anything in my life.

I'm just starting playing the violin, and I have spent a total of 20 hours practicing on a weekend. Hoping someday I'll have your level!!

If you can rush it slowly, you can rush it quickly 😂😂
