Eugène Ysaÿe was born into a family of violinists in
Liège and soon showed a prodigious aptitude for the
instrument. His formative years were cosmopolitan
and the young Ysaÿe absorbed influences from a
range of sources, sowing the seeds for his philosophy
that “real art should be international.” He was
inspired by the example of Joachim and Liszt, and
gave concerts with Clara Schumann when he was
a young violinist. At his best, Ysaÿe was considered
the fi nest violinist of his generation, but the onset
of diabetes limited his capacity to perform – so he
channelled his creativity into pieces written for others.
In July 1923, Ysaÿe attended a performance given
by Joseph Szigeti of J.S. Bach’s Sonata for solo violin
in G minor, BWV 1001, the fi rst of his set of six solo
violin sonatas and partitas, BWV 1001-1006. Ysaÿe
was so inspired that he produced his own Six Sonates
pour violon seul in just 24 hours. The Sonata No. 5
is dedicated to Ysaÿe’s most devoted disciple and a
member of the Ysaÿe Quartet, the Belgian violinist
Mathieu Crickboom. The ethereal opening movement, ‘L’aurore’, evokes the dawn. (Joanna Wyld)

about SOLITAIRE

SOLITAIRE as a term is ambiguous and denotes a single set gemstone as well as a single piece in general. This album's programme consists of little-known individual works for violin and piano, all of them musical gems by famous composers who influenced each other, whether as friends, patrons or even antipodes. Solitaire in French also means "lonely, alone" and thus coincides with violinist Joseph Joachim's motto "free but lonely". Famous violinists as a source of inspiration for the corresponding composers are a common thread running through the entire programme.
