About This Item
Eugène Ysaÿe was one of the leading figures in the violin world at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and a source of inspiration for subsequent generations. Towards the end of his life, he composed these six sonatas for solo violin. David Grimal's interpretations explore these pieces which look back to the past, reflect his present and open towards the future. Album Tracks 1. Ysaÿe Sonata No.1 in G minor, 'Joseph Szigeti' I.
