Shunske Sato plays Ysaye Violin Sonatas

[@DanielKurganov]

Shunske is currently recording the complete Beethoven Sonatas and needs our help!! Please donate to this fundraiser! www.voordekunst.nl/projecten/16206-recording-the-beethoven-violin-sonatas#updates

[@mishistern]

Dear Daniel, could you please upload the First Sonata of Ysaye also? I'm super interested to hear what shunske does with it. Many thanks

[@graceonaga3094]

Thank you, Daniel. And thank you for the donation website info. Shunske and Shuann are wonderful musicians and very humble, kind human beings. Shunske, whom I know a little more about, was clearly a child prodigy but with a mind and spirit that seems to be ever expanding and ever seeking. There are several violinists on the world stage who have achieved their fame and fortune through the conventional route of competitions, concert tours and CD releases. Shunske seems to have taken a different and (perhaps a more economically precarious) route in his quest to better understand music and stringed instruments. I won't even try to compare his skills with the so-called violin gods and goddesses because it would be like comparing apples and oranges. He has a combination of rare talent, dedication and absolute joy in his endeavors that is undminished as he has matured. Plus, he makes it look so easy (which is probably annoying to a professional violinist). IMHO we should wholeheartedly support his efforts because they keep classicl music alive and vibrant. His stint at NBS was an enormous gift to all of us and surely, he has much more to give to the world.

I agree! Shunske is supremely gifted, and a wonderfully kind human being. Thank you for posting! Take a look at his live Korngold Concerto which I posted. It is amazing

When Sato left NBS it was a very sad news for me! I wish him all his plans and dreams come true! But it is a big loss! Listening again and again to all available recordings made at the Society, very precious! Another discovery for me was Hidemi Suzuki!. His Bach's Suites among my all life favorite Daniil Shafran's, Rostropovitch, latest recording of Misha Mayski.

Always here for more Sato content

[@fitzdarragh]

one of the present day masters of the instrument imo

[@aMaudPowellFan]

Thank you for sharing this supreme collection, Daniel. Indeed, Danse rustique never made more sense than here.

[@kumo-kun1831]

Bought the cds after you revealed the mystery violinist! What a gem, and how much I wish there were more recordings of the youthful him! The Grieg, encore pieces and this ysaye are simply magic🪄

[@personalnotesmusic]

WONDERFUL....one of the best!

[@KristopherApple]

Thanks for sharing this! Sato is one of my current favorites.

[@samsigur]

¡Gracias, maestro! Sato es uno de mis intérpretes favoritos. Ustedes dos son grandes.

[@erictheviolinist]

Could not agree more with this recording!

[@lolamas3042]

Mil gracias por compartir esta joya! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💜🎶💜🎻

[@desperateastro]

check out Sato in the Bach A minor & E Major concertos....extraordinary crispness & vigor & subtlety. Puts the "Big name violin Gods" in the shadows.

[@DanielKurganov]

Love that album!

[@michelevolz7769]

[@andresmachado3120]

[@sitosanchez]

[@owenypony]

Wish this was available on Spotify.

[@nantschev]

Nice! Thank you!

[@michelevolz7769]

❤❤❤

[@sitosanchez]

By the way.... Sato was born in a carriage traveling across europe with a bow maker.....no one of us will be never close to him!!

[@nicolaspellerin5320]

Wow! Do you know Kerson Leong? It’s another sur-talented violonist…

[@iahinamirg]

When I am listening to Shunske playing the 6th Ysaye Sonata, Kerson certainly comes to mind first as their styles are somewhat similar

[@DanielKurganov]

Supremely talented, abilities off the charts, but yet to find a musical vision in his playing. My 2 cents

[@yyd7273]

where is sonata no.3, 4, and 1?

[@sunnykhurana657]

when did he record this?
