If you’ve read our February 2024 issue, you would’ve read our feature on the long-lost work
by Ysaÿe, his Poème concertant. Violinist Philippe Graffin has recorded the work that had
been undiscovered for more than a century – he joins online editor Davina in this episode to
speak about uncovering Ysaÿe’s forgotten works, the history and inspiration of the piece, plus
how he hopes to cement these lost works as staples of violin repertoire in the future.
