Ysaÿe FULL violin concerto in G Minor
Another rediscovered violin concerto by Ysaÿe.
short note about the violinist, and how he found, and arranged this concerto:
“Divine Art Recordings is delighted to announce a forthcoming album of musical and historical importance, which presents first-ever recordings of works by the great Belgian composer Eugène Ysaÿe, whose known violin works are masterpieces of their genre. Fronting the album is Romanian violinist Sherban Lupu, who has been for almost ten years avidly researching the unpublished manuscripts left by Ysaÿe. All the works here are receiving their first recordings; it should be noted that the Violin Concerto here is NOT the same work (also recently rediscovered) which has been recorded by Nikita Boriso-Glebsky.

The production of this album originated from Sherban Lupu’s tribute to the great 20th century violin teacher Joseph Gingold, who made significant contributions to violin teaching in the United States. Gingold was a pupil of Ysaÿe during his stay in Belgium from 1927 to 1930 and Lupu studied with Gingold in his studio at Indiana University in the 1970s.
In 2012, Lupu started his journey to discover Ysaÿe’s remaining manuscripts by visiting the libraries of Brussels and Liège, the main libraries containing most of his personal archives. He found some very interesting things in the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels, though the main sources of this album were discovered in the library of The Royal Conservatoire of Liège. Lupu edited the pieces on this album out of the manuscripts, adding fingerings and bowings, and readied them for performance use. This album is a result of several years of effort by Lupu, similar to previous contributions he has made to the Romanian violinist and composer George Enescu, the dedicatee of Ysaye’s Sonata no.3, “Ballade” for solo violin.“.“
