Product description

Eugène Ysaÿe's "Ysaÿe on Piano - Sonatas for solo Violin" is a captivating collection of six sonatas, originally composed for solo violin and later arranged for piano by Kohei Owaki. Released on April 21, 2023, under the MClassics label, this album offers a unique perspective on Ysaÿe's monumental works, which were initially inspired by J.S. Bach's contrapuntal mastery. The sonatas, dedicated to various virtuosos of Ysaÿe's time, showcase his exceptional compositional prowess and virtuosic demands.

The album spans a diverse range of emotions and technical challenges, from the introspective and melancholic to the exuberant and fiery. Each sonata is a distinct journey, with evocative titles such as "Obsession," "Malinconia," and "Les Furies" hinting at the rich narrative and expressive depth within. The final sonata, dedicated to Manuel Quiroga, provides a lighthearted and triumphant conclusion to the set.

Performances on this album include notable interpretations by Keisuke Haishima and a critically acclaimed recording by Hilary Hahn, which won both the Instrumental Award and Recording of the Year at the 2023 Gramophone Magazine awards. The album's duration of 1 hour and 9 minutes ensures an immersive experience, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the intricacies and brilliance of Ysaÿe's compositions. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or new to the genre, this album offers a compelling exploration of Ysaÿe's enduring legacy as both a violinist and a composer.
