Solo: Matteis - Pisendel - Biber - Guillemain - Vilsmayr

Isabelle Faust (violin)

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.

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.

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.
