Isabelle Faust, renowned for her exquisite interpretations of Baroque and Classical music, presents a captivating collection of J.S. Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Continuo. This album, released on August 29, 2025, under the harmonia mundi label, showcases Faust's mastery alongside the equally distinguished Kristin von der Goltz and Kristian Bezuidenhout. The album features a selection of sonatas, including some of dubious origin, offering a comprehensive exploration of Bach's violin repertoire beyond his major collection.
Spanning a duration of one hour, the album delves into the intricate and expressive world of Bach's compositions. From the somber depths of the E Minor Sonata to the lively Allegro of the G Minor Sonata for Violin and Obbligato Harpsichord, Faust and her collaborators navigate the emotional and technical complexities of these works with finesse. The inclusion of early versions and pieces previously attributed to Bach adds a layer of historical intrigue, making this album a scholarly and artistically rewarding experience.
