Ysaÿe Eugene Fauré Gabriel Sain - Ysaÿe - Fauré - Saint-Saëns

Facts For his first recording Saténik Khourdoïan, concertmaster of the Orchestre symphonique de la Monnaie and an enthusiastic and passionate violinist, joins forces with the gifted pianist Alexander Gurning, who has received numerous awards for his qualities as a chamber music performer. Fauré and Saint-Saëns found in Ysaÿe a virtuoso performer and an exceptional ally in getting their music known, who was on friendly terms with both men, and who was also a composer himself. They often played together in Paris, notably at the concerts of the Société nationale, and in the Brussels salons of the XX and the Libre Esthétique. Khourdoian devotes his debut album to the music of all three distinguished French musicians.
