Isabelle Faust - J.S. Bach: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Released: 29/03/2010 Harmonia Mundi
Believe it or not, there was a time when music for solo instruments was pretty hard to come by. Bach was a pioneer of the form and his compositions set a new standard. Much-admired German violinist Isabelle Faust returned to the original manuscripts to produce these fantastic recordings.

BBC“I’m impatient for volume two...” Faust’s playing has elements of Mullova’s power, Ibragimova’s intimacy, Fischer’s bravura, and Podger’s delight in Bach’s dances, and the recording is a peach, perfectly framing her musicianship...
