Eugène Ysaÿe (16 July 1858 – 12 May 1931) was a Belgian violinist, composer and conductor. He was regarded as "The King of the Violin", or, as Nathan Milstein put it, the "tsar". As a violinist, Ysaÿe was a great interpreter of late Romantic and early modern composers and also was admired for his Bach and Beethoven interpretations. His technique was brilliant and finely honed, and in this respect he is the first modern violinist, whose technique was without the shortcomings of some earlier artists. As a composer, his most famous work is the six Sonatas for Solo Violin and  eight Poèmes for various instruments.

José Serebrier (born 3 December 1938 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan conductor and composer. He once studied with Aaron Copland and Pierre Monteux. As a conductor, Serebrier has had many conducting posts, and is one of the most recorded conductors of his generation. He has received 37 nominations for Grammy Awards and won 8 Grammies for his recordings. As a composer, Serebrier's first symphony, written at the age of 17, was premiered by Leopold Stokowski. His Third Symphony and his "Fantasia for strings" are amongst his most popular works. His style is energetic, colourful and melodic.
