  • Selected Violin Works by Kreisler, Piazzolla & Massenet

  • Fritz Kreisler

    Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen: No. 2, Liebesleid

    Astor Piazzolla

    Oblivion

    Jules Massenet

    Thaïs: Méditation

  • Vestige presents three works for violin and piano, each shaped by memory and emotional afterglow. Though separated by time, geography, and style, Jules Massenet’s Méditation from Thaïs, Fritz Kreisler’s Liebesleid, and Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion speak a shared language of longing, tenderness, and remembrance.

    Each work unfolds like an echo of something once felt — a fleeting moment of devotion, love, or loss — leaving behind traces that continue to resonate long after the final note fades.

    Performed by violinist Jiyuan and pianist Piaoru Li, this recording offers an intimate journey through reflection, warmth, and enduring lyric beauty.
