Our Take

ILYA KALER deftly navigates the complex tapestry of Ysaÿe's solo violin sonatas with the grace and precision of a ballerina on roller skates. From the intricate bowing patterns to the subtle harmonics, KALER's virtuosity shines through on every track.

The album opens with Sonatas No. 1 and No. 2, setting the stage for a rollercoaster of emotions and technical brilliance. KALER's dynamic range is truly impressive, seamlessly transitioning from delicate pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos with ease.

As the album progresses, KALER continues to captivate with his expressive phrasing and nuanced interpretation. Sonatas No. 3 and No. 4 showcase his impeccable sense of timing, while Sonatas No. 5 and No. 6 highlight his mastery of complex rhythms and melodic twists.

But it is the final two sonatas that truly steal the show. Sonatas No. 7 and No. 8 push KALER to his limits, demanding lightning-fast runs and jaw-dropping arpeggios. And yet, he rises to the challenge with aplomb, delivering a tour de force performance that will leave listeners breathless.

In conclusion, ILYA KALER's rendition of Ysaÿe's solo violin sonatas is nothing short of a masterpiece. With his technical prowess, emotional depth, and sheer musicality, KALER proves once again why he is considered one of the greatest violinists of our time. Don't miss out on this album - it is a true gem in the world of classical music.
