Eugene Ysaye(1858-1931)

He was regarded as "The King of the Violin".

Wonderful performance!!! Thank you sobie99 for sharing.

Humour belge sans doute...

what's the background sound is it noise? It sounds like a waterfall

I can understand why this is one of your favourite Ysaye recordings. Its outstanding beautiful. Ysaye was from Belgium, I think. Where did he lived and worked ?

@qklq42 He was born in Liege, but spent most his life in Brussels. Of course he also spent time abroad in his life, Berlin for instance.

this and josef hassid's are my favorite performances of this piece; they subtract everything conventional from the piece in order to let it be sung. thank you for posting this!

I always thought this song was supposed to be lively, not sorrowful.
