Worth mentioning the context behind this clip - this was a live-streamed recital I gave last summer of the complete Ysaÿe violin sonata cycle almost immediately after getting off a transatlantic flight after having performed at the G7 summit held in Charlevoix, QC, Canada. So in a way, probably the craziest thing I ever did. Good memories.

Did you play from memory? I don't seem to see the scores. Truly beautiful by the way.

[@Poreckylife]

@@kamx1 of course it's from memory.

well done, Kerson, love the 3rd mvt and LOL, always have the same problems with the bow hairs in mvt 4, same part, it's really funny: I think the 3 furies are responsible for that...

[@alicedalcol7600]

I love this cycle of pieces, and i love your interpretation! One of the best i've ever heard

[@fernandowanderley8269]
