Eugène Ysaÿe was a towering figure in the history of the violin. He composed a number of important works, most inspirationally the cycle of Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27 published in 1924, which rank among the greatest and most demanding. A different version of number 6 – an unfinished version – was found in the Lavergne Manuscript in 2018. Here is a world premiere recording in it’s entirety, as it was left by the composer. Niklas Walentin began playing violin at the age of six.

This style has, despite his young age, has taken him everywhere as a celebrated soloist, from concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York to The Mariinsky theater in Sct. Petersburg.
