Synopsis
Product Description
For a long time the fame of Eugène Ysaÿe as a composer was
overshadowed by his fame as a performing musician: he was the most
renowned violin virtuoso of his generation. In the 1890s, when he was
a young man in his thirties, he was pivotal in advocating contemporary
French and Belgian music. In 1923, he wrote his legendary Six Sonatas
for Solo Violin, a musical heritage for the generations to come: they are
the violinists equivalent to the Six Cello Suites by Bach. Ysaÿe s work
is not always easy to track down. Many compositions only exist in
manuscript form, or were not published until years later, sometimes in
adapted versions. His son Antoine Ysaÿe, and later his grandson Jacques
Ysaÿe, took care of the musical heritage and publications. Today the
collection is located in the Royal Library of Brussels. This CD presents
some premieres from this collection.
