  • i went to high school with Ray and saw him come through the Queensland Youth Orchestras. He is the most genuine you will ever meet. Any suggestion that he imitating anyone or faking his enormous talent, i have to totally rebuke. He has always been something special and he continues to amaze us all. looking forward to when get comes back to Australia to play!:)

  • even if he would be doing extreme facial expressions, it's still a success because he is comfortable enough to even act... but he is enjoying! so chill ppl

  • He looks weird when he plays the violin. Look at his eyes! And he should really use the chin rest

  • oh wowwww omg so incredibly amazing..... here's someone who totally, in my opinion, can compare to perlman

  • omg he's amazing!!!!

  • @solveaproblem Exactly! For me, this piece belongs to Itzhak Perlman.

  • @RBLVK too fast, too much bravura and not enough tenderness. uegh

  • @RBLVK: the same

  • He has the wrong feeling for this piece. Wrong tempo for my taste. Don't like this guy.
