Over time, the memory of Eugène Ysaÿe (Liège, 1858 -‐‑ Brussels, 1931) the b r i l l i a n t v i r t u o s o g r a d u a l l y 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. The French conductor Jean-‐‑Jacques Kantorow, Ysaÿe'ʹs great specialist, leads the Liège Royal Philharmonic and soloists through works for violin and orchestra, for cello and orchestra, for two violins and orchestra and for string quartet and orchestra.
