{{see also|Amanda Lear discography}}

Sarasate was born in [[Pamplona]], the son of a military bandmaster, from his early years he displayed his aptitude for the violin. He gave his public debut at the age of eight, studied first in [[Madrid]], and at the age of 12 he began to study under [[Jean Delphin Alard|Delfín Alard]] at the [[Conservatoire de Paris|Paris Conservatoire]].

'''Tendance''' is a [[studio album]] by French singer [[Amanda Lear]] issued by Sony Music Germany in 2003. ''Tendance'', taking its title from a French TV-series hosted by Lear at the time, is an expanded re-release of 2001's ''Heart''. This edition omits "Manuel Guerreiro Da Luz" but adds three tracks; the oriental remix of hit single "Love Boat", entitled "Rainbow Love Boat", Lear's theme song to Italian TV-series ''Cocktail D'Amore'', composed by long-time collaborator Cristiano Malgioglio, and her 2002 duet with Belgian boyband Get Ready!, "Beats Of Love", a cover version of the 1984 European hit single by band Nacht Und Nebel.

His first public appearance as a concert violinist was in [[1860]]. He played in [[London]] in [[1861]], and in the course of his career he visited all parts of [[Europe]] and also both [[North America|North]] and [[South America]]. His artistic pre-eminence was due principally to the purity of his tone, which was free from any tendency towards sentimentality and rhapsodic mannerism, and to the astonishing facility of execution which made him in the best sense of the word a virtuoso.

==Credits==

Although in the [[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]] and [[Felix Mendelssohn|Mendelssohn]] [[concerto]]s, and in modern [[France|French]] and [[Belgium|Belgian]] works, his playing was unrivalled, his qualities were most clearly revealed in the solos which he himself composed, which were the spirit of Spanish dance translated into terms of the violin virtuoso. Sarasate died at [[Biarritz]] on [[September 20]], [[1908]].

==Catalogue numbers==

A number of pieces were dedicated to Sarasate, including [[Henryk Wieniawski]]'s [[Violin Concerto No. 2 (Wieniawski)|Violin Concerto No. 2]], [[Édouard Lalo]]'s ''[[Symphonie espagnole]]'', [[Camille Saint-Saëns]]' ''[[Violin Concerto No. 3 (Saint-Saëns)|Violin Concerto No. 3]]'' and ''[[Introduction and rondo capriccioso]]'' and [[Max Bruch]]'s ''[[Scottish Fantasy (Bruch)|Scottish Fantasy]]''.

==Single releases==

Sarasate's own compositions are mainly flashy show-pieces designed to demonstrate his exemplary technique. Perhaps the best known of his works is ''[[Zigeunerweisen]]'' ([[1878]]), a work for violin and orchestra. Another piece, the ''[[Carmen Fantasy]]'' (1883), also for violin and orchestra, makes use of themes from [[Georges Bizet]]'s opera ''[[Carmen]]''. Probably his most performed encores are his two books of Spanish Dances, short little pieces designed to please the listener's ear and show off the performer's talent. He also made arrangements of a number of other composers' work for violin. In 1904 he made a small number of recordings.
