Description: | Vieuxtemps transformed the technique and aesthetic of violin playing
in the 19th century, and as a virtuoso exponent and composer he was
considered a worthy successor to Paganini. His works for violin and
orchestra illustrate two notable features â?? a liking for variation form
and the fusion of emotional density with virtuosic flair. These can
be heard in the impressive Variations on a Theme from Beethovenâ??s
Romance No. 1 and his Fantasie in E major â??La Sentimentaleâ?? , one
of his very greatest concert fantasies, where the music is influenced
by bel canto. . All of the works on this album were discovered after
the composerâ??s death apart from the the unfinished Violin Concerto
No. 8 â?? one of Vieuxtempsâ?? last compositions and dedicated to his
most illustrious pupil, Eugène Ysaÿe. - ..
