Augustin Hadelich plays Malinconia from Ysaÿe Sonata 2 (Live, November 2021)

(listen at low volume!)
Eugène Ysaÿe: Sonata for solo violin no. 2 - Malinconia
Recorded Live in concert on November 7, 2021 in Vancouver.

For best listening experience and impact of the piece, turn your volume down low and listen in a quiet environment-- this movement is played with a mute and in the concert hall sounds extremely soft throughout (as you can tell from the loudness of the background hum and the breathing). At the end, the theme of the "Dies Irae" Gregorian chant appears, and the piece ends in the softest dynamic possible.
