Ysaye, Eugene. & Guilbert, Yvette. Original Photoon the deck of "La France"

Description: Ysaye, Eugene. (1858-1931) & Guilbert, Yvette. (1865-1944). Ysaye, Eugene. (1858-1931) & Guilbert, Yvette. (1865-1944) Original Photograph on the deck of "La France" An intriguing original photograph of the violinist and composer with the renowned French actress and cabaret singer who was immortalized in a number of works by prominent Belle Époche poster artists Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Cheret. The photograph with stamps on verso by Underwood & Underwood of NY and handritten date of 9/22/21, has an amusing press clipping affixed to verso, describing the image of Ysaye arriving "in New York...today aboard the French liner 'La France.' With him came Mme. Yvette Guilbert, a well-known 'dramatic dress-maker.'" Small tears and pinholes around edges, in-painting highlights from use in publication, else fine. 8 x 10 inches; 20.2 x 25.2 cm. Carl Flesch called him "the most outstanding and individual violinist I have ever heard in my life," and he was the dedicatee of many major works from Debussy, Saint-Saens, Franck, Chausson and others. From 1886 to 1898, Ysaÿe served as professor of violin at the conservatory in Brussels, where he also established the Ysaÿe String Quartet (for which ensemble Saint-Saëns wrote his Quartet No. 1) and founded the orchestral Concerts Ysaÿe, both of which were principally dedicated to promoting new French and Belgian music. Increasing commitments for tours as violinist and conductor required him to leave the Conservatory in 1898, though he continued to live in Brussels until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Following his debut in theUnited States in 1894, Ysaÿe's American prestige equaled that which he enjoyed in Europe, and he was named music director of the CincinnatiSymphony in 1918; he conducted that ensemble for four years before being succeeded by Fritz Reiner. In 1922, he returned to Europe to revive the Concerts Ysaÿe and resume his tours. Schubertiade Music Arts LLC - BUY WITH CONFIDENCE !
