My, he bends light here. It's just majical. Like a Hudini of violin. Can't get this kind of player today. he's positively riveting my attention. Dark and detailed playing. For that time he must have mesmerized the people to tears. When he pizzicatos' he's so musical and everything he does is just style.
Eugene Ysaye(1858-1931)
was one of the Greatest violinist ever lived.
Fantastic performance!!! Thank you sobie for sharing.

Man his hands are so huge and his fingers are LONG....did you see the way he holds the bow? He also played the viola effortlessly.
Back then they used little or no vibrato and LOTS of slides and glides. But Ysaye's intonation is truly beautiful.
