Eugène Ysaÿe (1858–1931) captivated audiences of the late 19th century and early 20th century with his rhapsodic style and superb artistry on the violin (so evident in Wieniawski’s Mazurka heard here) and won the esteem of such colleagues as Fritz Kreisler and Pablo Casals. All of this great Belgian violinist’s recordings were made for Columbia between 1912 and 1914.
