Harmonies du soir et autres poèmes

"Ysaÿe’s six sonatas for solo violin are well represented on disc. Not so his concertante works – more than 16 of them (plus, apparently, a number of unpublished violin concertos lying somewhere in someone’s vault waiting to be exhumed). The most notable of these are his seven Poèmes, mostly for violin and orchestra, a form which Ysaÿe seems to have invented. The third of these, Chant d’hiver, is the best known (though not part of this selection) while the first, Poème élégiaque, was the direct inspiration for Chausson’s famous eponymous work of 1896."
