Music Notes

Belgian violinist, conductor and composer Eugène Ysaÿe (1858–1931) was one of the great violin virtuosos of the 19th and early 20th centuries. After winning several competitions in the conservatory, he studied with Henryk Wieniawsky in Brussels and Henri Vieuxtemps in Paris, soon establishing an international reputation as a great virtuoso throughout Europe and the United States.

Maestri Lupu, Bonamy and Mann deliver stylish, elegant, and often virtuosic performances of Ysaÿe’s music.
