Hommage à Eugène Ysaÿe
Eugène Ysaÿe fut un très grand violoniste, sans doute un des plus grands de l’histoire du violon. Il voyagea à travers
le monde et laissa une empreinte forte auprès de tous les publics qu’il toucha par son style si personnel. Artiste
complet, il fut également compositeur, chef d’orchestre et pédagogue. Dans la dernière décade de sa vie, Ysaÿe fut
maître de Chapelle à la cour de Belgique et conseilla la Reine Elisabeth sur de nombreux et inspirants projets.
La Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth lui doit son origine, elle se devait un jour de lui consacrer un hommage qui
se concrétise aujourd’hui sous différentes formes. Afin de donner à ce témoignage une dynamique forte et multiple,
la Chapelle Musicale s’est associée à d’autres institutions culturelles belges & étrangères en profitant de son 80ème
anniversaire pour mettre en lumière ce formidable artiste belge qu’était Ysaÿe.
Trois ans furent nécessaires pour faire aboutir ce « Tribute to Ysaÿe » décliné en :
• Un festival, la dixième édition du Music Chapel Festival, en collaboration avec Flagey, du 4 au 7 décembre 2019.
Ce festival est une immersion dans l’œuvre d’Ysaÿe et de ses compositeurs de prédilection, à travers des récitals,
de la musique de chambre et des concerts avec orchestre. Accueillir des violonistes comme Joshua Bell, Renaud
Capuçon, Augustin Dumay & Philippe Graffin ou encore la jeune génération comme Lorenzo Gatto, Kerson Leong
ou Yossif Ivanov démontre de la vivacité de l’héritage musical qu’Ysaÿe a laissé à des générations de violonistes…
Trois orchestres (Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Brussels Philharmonic, Les Métamorphoses),
un chœur (Octopus) ainsi que de très nombreux artistes complètent la programmation de ce festival dédié à Ysaÿe.
Tous devraient apporter un nouvel éclairage vivant de la musique d’Ysaÿe et de son influence sur les compositeurs
de son époque : Franck, Fauré, Chausson, Ravel, Lekeu, Saint-Saëns et bien d’autres…
• Ensuite, la sortie d’un coffret d’enregistrements de 5 cds en hommage à Ysaÿe, une archive impressionnante
produite par la Chapelle Musicale et Outhere (label Fuga Libera), en collaboration avec l’Orchestre Philharmonique
Royal de Liège et le Brussels Philharmonic. Grâce à la complicité de dizaines de solistes et de chambristes, ce coffret
propose des œuvres et des concertos inédits d’Ysaÿe ainsi que des œuvres dédiées à Ysaÿe et que celui-ci a défen-
dues sur scène tout au long de sa carrière.
• Et enfin, un film documentaire, « Ysaÿe is not dead », réalisé par Marc Temmerman, film dans lequel l’arrière-
petit-fils d’Eugène, Marc Ysaye, part à la rencontre de son ancêtre et découvre, au fil de ses rencontres, le grand
personnage qu’était son aïeul.
Par ailleurs, le calendrier aidant, une nouvelle biographie, écrite par Marie Cornaz et éditée par Brepols, sort aussi
en ce mois de décembre et nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir Marie Cornaz dans le Music Chapel Festival pour évo-
quer cet ouvrage de référence sur Ysaÿe.
Très beau festival à toutes et à tous !

Hulde aan Eugène Ysaÿe
Eugène Ysaÿe was een erg groot violist, ongetwijfeld een van de grootste uit de vioolgeschiedenis. Hij reisde de
wereld af en liet overal een belangrijke voetafdruk na bij zijn publiek dat hij raakte door zijn erg persoonlijke stijl. Hij
was een veelzijdig artiest, want hij was ook componist, dirigent en pedagoog. In het laatste decennium van zijn leven
was Ysaÿe Kapelmeester van het Belgische hof en verleende hij koningin Elisabeth advies over tal van bezielende
projecten.
De Muziekkapel Koningin Elisabeth dankt haar bestaan aan hem, daarom moest ze hem ooit eens huldigen,
hetgeen vandaag gestalte krijgt in diverse vormen. Om aan dit eerbetoon een sterke en veelzijdige dynamiek te
verlenen heeft de Muziekkapel krachten gebundeld met andere Belgische en buitenlandse culturele instellingen,
door gebruik te maken van haar 80e verjaardag om deze schitterende Belgische artiest die Ysaÿe was in de kijker te
stellen.
Drie jaar waren nodig om dit ‘Tribute to Ysaÿe’ te verwezenlijken, bestaande uit:
• Een festival, de tiende editie van het Music Chapel Festival, in samenwerking met Flagey, van 4 tot 7 december
2019. Het festival biedt een onderdompeling in het werk van Ysaÿe en zijn favoriete componisten, aan de hand van
recitals, kamermuziek en orkestconcerten. Violisten onthalen als Joshua Bell, Renaud Capuçon, Augustin Dumay &
Philippe Graffin of nog de jonge generatie als Lorenzo Gatto, Kerson Leong of Yossif Ivanov getuigt van de springle-
vende muzikale erfenis die Ysaÿe aan generaties violisten heeft nagelaten…
Drie orkesten (Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Brussels Philharmonic, Les Métamorphoses), een koor
(Octopus), alsook talloze artiesten vervolledigen de programmering van dit festival gewijd aan Ysaÿe, allen zouden
een nieuw krachtig licht moeten werpen op de muziek van Ysaÿe en zijn invloed op de componisten uit zijn tijd:
Franck, Fauré, Chausson, Ravel, Lekeu, Saint-Saëns en vele anderen…
• Vervolgens, de release van een opnamebox van 5 cd’s ter ere van Ysaÿe, een indrukwekkend archief van de
Muziekkapel en Outhere (label Fuga Libera), in samenwerking met het Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège
en Brussels Philharmonic. Dankzij de medewerking van tientallen solisten en kamermuzikanten biedt deze box
onuitgegeven werk en concerto’s van Ysaÿe, alsook werk opgedragen aan Ysaÿe en werk waarvoor hij gedurende zijn
hele carrière op het podium heeft gepleit.
• En tot slot, een documentairefilm, ‘Ysaÿe is not dead’, van de hand van Marc Temmerman, een film waarin de
achterkleinzoon van Eugène, Marc Ysaye, op ontmoeting trekt naar zijn voorvader en in de loop van zijn ontmoetin-
gen het belangrijk personage dat zijn overgrootvader was, ontdekt.
Bovendien verschijnt er in - de feestmaand - december ook een nieuwe biografie, geschreven door Marie Cornaz en
uitgegeven bij Brepols, en we hebben het genoegen om Marie Cornaz op het Music Chapel Festival te verwelkomen
om te spreken over dit referentiewerk over Ysaÿe.
Een prachtig festival aan allen!

10Tribute to Eugène Ysaÿe
Eugène Ysaÿe was an exceptional violinist, without doubt one of the greatest in the history of the violin. Traveling the
world, he moved audiences with his personal style and left a strong impression wherever he went. An all-around artist,
he was also a composer, conductor and teacher. In the last decade of his life, Ysaÿe was kapellmeister at the Court of
Belgium and advised Queen Elisabeth on a number of inspiring projects.
The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel owes its existence to Eugène Ysaÿe and thus it owed it to him to pay him a fitting
tribute. That time has now come, with a tribute that takes different forms. To ensure that the homage is both vibrant
and varied, the Music Chapel has joined forces with other cultural institutions from Belgium and abroad on the occa-
sion of its 80th anniversary to turn the spotlight on the formidable Belgian artist that Ysaÿe was.
Three years were necessary to bring about this “Tribute to Ysaÿe”, which comprises:
• Firstly, a festival, the tenth edition of the Music Chapel Festival, in collaboration with Flagey, from 4 to 7 December
2019. This festival will immerse listeners in the work of Ysaÿe and of his favorite composers through recitals, chamber
music and concerts with orchestra. The presence of such violinists as Joshua Bell, Renaud Capuçon, Augustin Dumay
and Philippe Graffin and of a younger generation of musicians such as Lorenzo Gatto, Kerson Leong and Yossif Ivanov
is proof that the musical heritage left by Ysaÿe to generations of violinists is still alive today.
Three orchestras (Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Brussels Philharmonic, Les Métamorphoses), a choir
(Octopus) and a large number of artists will complete the program of this festival dedicated to Ysaÿe. They will all shed
new light on Ysaÿe’s music and his influence on the composers of his time: Franck, Fauré, Chausson, Ravel, Lekeu,
Saint-Saëns and many more.
• Secondly, a box set consisting of 5 CDs in homage to Ysaÿe, an impressive archive produced by the Music Chapel
and Outhere (Fuga Libera label) in collaboration with the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège and the Brussels
Philharmonic. Thanks to the cooperation of dozens of soloists and chamber musicians, this box set offers previously
unheard works and concertos by Ysaÿe as well as works dedicated to Ysaÿe which he performed on stage throughout
his career.
• Last but not least, a documentary film, “Ysaÿe is not dead”, directed by Marc Temmerman, in which Eugène’s
great-grandson, Marc Ysaye, sets out in search of his ancestor and discovers during his journey the great character
that was Eugène Ysaÿe.
What’s more, by a lucky coincidence, a new biography, written by Marie Cornaz and published by Brepols, is also
being released this December, and we have the pleasure of welcoming Marie Cornaz to the Music Chapel Festival to
evoke this reference book on Ysaÿe.
We wish you all a wonderful festival!

gut strings etc.). Founded by Camille and Raphaël Feye, the ensemble is made up of musicians chosen for their
commitment and interest in historically informed practice and performance.

Alors qu’il s’attèle à la composition de son quatuor à cla-
vier (1893-94), commandé par Eugène Ysaÿe, Guillaume
Lekeu contracte une fièvre typhoïde qui aura raison de
lui ; le jeune compositeur n’était alors âgé que de 24 ans.
Le Quatuor pour piano, violon, alto et violoncelle, qui
commence dans un emportement douloureux, est l’une
des œuvres les plus puissantes et les plus profondes du
compositeur. Il écrira d’ailleurs à ce sujet cette célèbre
phrase : « Je me tue à mettre dans ma musique toute
mon âme ».

Chamber anokwartet (1893-94), besteld door Eugène Ysaÿe,

Concert worden; de jonge componist was nog maar 24 jaar.
Het Kwartet voor piano, viool, altviool en cello, dat
begint in een pijnlijke opwelling van drift, behoort tot
de krachtigste en diepgaandste werken van de com-
Ysaÿe & his friends ponist. Hij zou hieromtrent overigens deze beroemde
zin schrijven: ‘Ik werk me te pletter om mijn hele ziel

Gabriel Fauré entame le projet de son Premier quintette
durant l’année 1887, mais, insatisfait, il retravaillera
l’œuvre à plusieurs reprises et ne l’achèvera qu’en 1906,
soit presque 20 ans plus tard. Dédié à Eugène Ysaÿe, qui
motiva Fauré à la complétion de l’œuvre pendant plus de
15 ans, le Premier quintette sera créé à Bruxelles le 23
mars 1906 avec le Quatuor Ysaÿe et Fauré au piano.
Composé à Londres en 1916, Ysaÿe déclarera à propos
du Trio pour deux violons et alto : « Ce Trio fait partie du
travail qui fut mon oasis pendant la tourmente [de la
guerre] ; car le musicien n’a pas d’exil, il emporte avec
lui l’élément consolateur : l’art et nulle puissance ne peut

Chamber
Music Gabriel Fauré ving in de loop van 1887 het project
Concert van zijn Eerste kwintet aan, maar, ontevreden, zou hij
het werk meerdere keren herwerken om het slechts
te voltooien in 1906, dus nagenoeg 20 jaar later. Het
Eerste kwintet is opgedragen aan Eugène Ysaÿe, die
Ysaÿe & the Queen Elisabeth Fauré gedurende meer dan 15 jaar ertoe aanzette om
het werk te voltooien, en zou op 23 maart 1906 voor
18:00 ‒ 19:00 → Studio 1 het eerst vertolkt worden in Brussel, door het Quatuor
Ysaÿe en Fauré aan de piano.
