3CD box set
Gidon Kremer (1967)
Edith Volckaert (1971)
Yuzuko Horigome (1980) NEW [More information]
The muso label continues its exploration of the archives of the Queen Elisabeth Competition of Belgium. After the three discs of the pianists Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, Abdel Rahman El Bacha and Frank Braley released in 2016, the time has come to look at the other major instrument of the competition: the violin.
Whereas some historic performances of laureates are still available and have been released many times already, this box set of three discs will enable us to relive some hitherto unreleased moments of the violin competition, featuring three laureates with very different personalities.
Chronologically we start in May 1967 – the year of Philippe Hirschhorn’s First Prize – with the very first recordings of a young, 20 year old Latvian, Gidon Kremer. Winning third place that year, this exceptional musical personality already showed all the passionate musicianship that led him on to his well-known career over the past fifty years.
After this comes a disc of a Belgian violinist revealed by the competition of 1971, Edith Volckaert. This young woman from Ghent was precociously brilliant, becoming a great international soloist as well as a great teacher; her career was shattered by illness at the age of 42. She came fifth in the competition, and despite tiredness at some points in the Shostakovich First Concerto performed during the final, she displayed a radiant sonority, superb phrasing, technical clarity, with attention paid to every gesture, every note, her playing being both straightforward and extraordinarily natural. Her Second Concerto of Bartók played at the laureates’ concert is amazing.
Finally, 1980 witnessed the success of a Japanese laureate who was immediately ‘adopted’ by the Belgian public and the international music scene: Yuzuko Horigome. Already highly impressive during the semi-finals (her Ysaÿe Sonata is quite simply splendid), she confirmed this impression in the final with a Brahms Sonata of incredible musicality, followed by a Sibelius Concerto that was one of the finest moments of the whole competition.
As, in 2017, we are having the first Queen Elisabeth Competition devoted to the cello – some 80 years after the first Ysaÿe Competition, won by David Oistrakh, this box set gives us the opportunity of rediscovering some of the great moments of the violin competition.
The 3CD box set with re-releases of performances by three laureates of the Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition is available at the price of 45,00- € (+ 5,00- € shipping costs).

3CD box set
Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden (1964)
Abdel Rahman El Bacha (1978)
Frank Braley (1991) [More information]
After the two violin and piano box sets released to mark the 75th anniversary of the Ysaÿe and Queen Elisabeth Competition, ‘muso’ has delved once more into the archives of the Competition to revive recordings by former laureates, not just of works performed with an orchestra, but also from their chamber music programmes.
In this first series of re-releases, we celebrate three pianists, to each of whom we have devoted a complete CD. First up, Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, an outstanding and important artist who has been a key figure in Belgian musical life for nearly 60 years and who made his breakthrough in 1964, when he was third laureate of the Competition at just 16 years of age! Next, the Franco-Lebanese pianist Abdel Rahman El Bacha, who should really have figured in previous re-releases and who made an unforgettable impression in 1978, thanks both to the serenity radiated by a young man of 19 years of age and to his incredibly musical playing and mastery of form, of sonority, and of different styles. The third in this trio is Frank Braley, who came first in 1991 and won everyone over right from the start of that year’s competition; although he claimed that, at 22, he wasn’t ready yet to face such a test, he treated his listeners to a moment of poetry and music that none of them have ever forgotten.
The work of showcasing, in the best technical conditions possible, this vast heritage is making it possible for us today to relive the same emotions as previous generations of music-lovers. Deciding who should be included in this first wave of re-releases has not been easy, and will surely whet listeners’ appetites for future re-releases: to be continued…
The 3CD box set with re-releases of performances by three laureates of the Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition is available at the price of 45,00- € (+ 5,00- € shipping costs).

Jodie DEVOS – Live at the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2014
The Belgian Jodie Devos confidently strode the path of her training in Belgium and subsequently in England. She then began to appear on the opera stage, building up a rich and varied repertory before grasping the opportunity of appearing before the jury of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2014 with heartening self-assurance. In winning the second prize of this demanding competition, and also the public prize given by Musiq3, she not only proved her talent as a musician but also that as a communicator of emotion and beauty.
This recording gives us all her performances in the semi-final and final of the Competition. We hear the young soprano singing in four languages, in a repertory that ranges over three centuries. From Mozart to Bernstein, she captivates us through her commitment, the assurance of her vocal technique, her knowledge of the styles. From the intimacy of the lied and the song to the breadth of opera, and not forgetting oratorio, Jodie Devos proves to us that she is ready for a magnificent career.
Live recordings never lie!
