Leonidas Kavakos plays Ysaye’s Allemande from Sonata No. 4, Opus 27. This work shows the indelible influence of Johann Sebastian Bach’s own musical thought on the French composer. Indeed, Ysaye composed 6 violin sonatas in the same vein as Bach, which are among some of the hardest works for violin ever written.
In yet more proof that Leonidas Kavakos is an outstanding virtuoso, watch his calm delivery of Ysaye’s Sonata No.5 Dance Roustique.
Ray Chen’s impassioned performance of Ysaye’s Sonata No. 2 Obsession (Prelude). The influence of Bach on Ysaye is never more present, as the French violin virtuoso quotes Bach’s E Major Preludio throughout. Beautiful work.
Augustin Hadelich playing Ysaye’s Sonata No. 3 Ballade. Stunning performance from the German virtuoso here, with lots of mystery and brooding, as well as technically flawless passages.
