Ysaÿe
(Orchard Classics)
EUGENE YSAYE (1858-1931) was a virtuoso Belgian violinist and composer. Each of his sonatas was written for friends who were also violinists. He captured what many leading violin teachers believed to be the soul and spirit of each violinist to perfection.
His style Gothic Wagnerian in its ambition and swagger, juxtaposed with delicate and fragile inner moments reminiscent of the finest Debussy.
