Isabelle Faust Solo
Isabelle Faust (violin)
[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 20 October 2023
From Biber's famous 'Guardian Angel' Passacaglia to Guillemain's 'Amusements' and sonatas and fantasias by Matteis (father and son), Pisendel and Vilsmayr, Isabelle Faust offers us a panorama of European music for unaccompanied violin from the second half of the Baroque era. Dreamy or virtuosic, these pieces bear witness to the diversity of inspirations from Italy, France, England and the German-speaking countries - and to their marvellous intermingling echoes.
"In all, there's lots here to enjoy and admire; Faust's playing is technically superlative, imaginative and fun - if not occasionally over-precise and controlled." Gramophone
"it makes the perfect companion to her memorable recording of Bach's solo violin works...Faust's playing is poised and effortless. She uses minimal vibrato, producing a clean, silvery sound." BBC Music Five Stars
"Faust's sampler of the vast store of other European music from this era - virtually all of it previously unknown to me - is sheer delight. Whether by design or by chance, "Solo" also presents an unusually comprehensive picture of what makes Faust such a multifaceted and captivating musician." New York Times
