Info for Ysaÿe: Neiges d'antan

Over time, the memory of Eugène Ysaÿe (Liège, 1858 - Brussels, 1931) the brilliant virtuoso gradually supplanted that of Ysaÿe the composer in the public consciousness. It should be reminded that Eugène Ysaÿe created in his poems for string instruments a totally new and original genre, distinguishing himself by a competence in writing and a harmonic richness that were far removed from the purely virtuosic merits of his early compositions. These poems are therefore thoroughly deserving of rediscovery. In a way, these form a sort of link between the Germanic and French aesthetic traditions, a reconciliation between German romanticism and French impressionism. For the 2nd time (after MEW1472), the French conductor Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Ysaÿe's great specialist, leads the Liège Royal Philharmonic and soloists Svetlin Roussev and Amaury Coeytaux through poems for violin and orchestra.

For the second time (after MEW1472), the French conductor Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Ysaÿe’s great specialist, leads the Liège Royal Philharmonic and soloists Svetlin Roussev and Amaury Coeytaux through poems for violin and orchestra.
