In September 2007, he performed as a soloist with the Toscanini Symphonica under the baton of Lorin Maazel at the memorial concert of the 35th Anniversary of Normalization of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and China.
At the age of 13, Ryu appeared an unprecedented series of ten sold-out recitals at the Casals Hall in Tokyo; and subsequently gave recitals in Mexico and Prague. He performed at the official September 11th commemoration ceremony at the World Trade Center site in 2003 and in 2005 he performed at the peace memorial concerts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Ryu's debut CD "Ryu Goto," released in 2005 by Deutsche Grammophon in collaboration with Universal Classics Japan, quickly became the best selling classical album in Japan for that year. In 2006, Deutsche Grammophon released Brahms Violin Concerto by him as a soloist with the European Union Youth Orchestra under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy, which was then released as a DVD. In 2007, Ryu¡¯s second CD and DVD "Ryu Goto Violin Recital 2006" Live from Suntory Hall were released with high acclaim.
For 10 years since 1996, Fuji TV had broadcasted a documentary entitled "Ryu Goto's Odyssey" every summer. He has also been on the TV commercials of the East Japan Railway Company. In 2008, Shanghai Media Group in China broadcasted a feature program on him.
Ryu plays a 1715 Stradivari violin known both as the 'Ex-Pierre Rode' and the 'Duke of Cambridge', on loan from the NPO "Yellow Angel."
Along with his concert engagements, Ryu enjoys playing the guitar and has a black belt in karate.
