About

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.

Reviews

“…there’s lots here to enjoy and admire; Faust’s playing is technically superlative, imaginative and fun …”

Recording of the Week

“… an illuminating programme of unaccompanied works by Matteis père et fils, Pisendel, Guillemain, Vilsmayr and Biber which offer some fascinating insights as to how composers across Europe explored and expanded the capabilities of the instrument in the late Baroque period… Faust’s supremely intelligent, expressive playing throughout is as unmissable as ever…”

Katherine Cooper – Prestomusic.com – 20 October 2023

“…Faust is a supreme technician with a flair for spontaneity and an ear for tonal variety… Faust brings something extra to the table: a certain bite, an incisiveness that lends the music a more contemporary feel.”

Will Yeoman – Limelightmagazine.com.au – 20 October 2023
