Hi-Fi News

One simply cannot imagine this music being played any other way. Even Frank Peter Zimmermann’s otherwise exemplary EMI recordings must play 'second fiddle' to artistry of this order... Graffin not only surmounts the myriad technical intractabilities with which Ysaÿe peppers this music in dashing style, but with an amazingly consistent golden tone, and - most important of all - a mesmerising identification with what this music is all about. One listens as though on some hot-line to the original source of the composer’s inspiration.

[...]The sonatas are here played superbly – and, indeed, virtuosically - by Philippe Graffin. Graffin seems to draw out the connections with Bach’s music, and I personally find these tributes to Bach - and there is a particularly heavy allusion to Bach’s third partita in the first two movements of Ysaye’s second sonata - very moving. So, for me, the performers create a powerful effect. They are convincing advocates of this music, playing with passion, confidence and spirit. Just listen to the fire and enthusiasm in Les Furies (last movement of the second sonata) and the third sonata.

The sonatas are followed by the Poème élégiaque - which Ysaye later orchestrated. Graffin is here accompanied by Pascal Devoyon. The work is exhilaratingly beautiful and lyrical, the performance intense – superb! The disc concludes with Rêve d'enfant. Ysaye dedicated this to his youngest son Antoine. It is a tender lullaby - gorgeous music and playing.

The performances by Philippe Graffin are full of musicality and understanding. He has not just an excellent technical ability but a real love and comprehension of this music that shines through. He is an excellent communicator.
