J.S. BACH

Sonatas & Partitas for solo violin

 

Partita II in D minor BWV 1004, Sonata in C major BWV 1005, Partita III in E major BWV 1006

 

Isabelle Faust (violin)

 

Isabelle Faust has gone back to the original manuscript sources to offer us her version of a masterpiece of the violin repertoire. In Bach’s time, music for solo instruments was still little explored territory, and his sonatas, partitas and suites immediately established themselves as a benchmark, technically challenging and brimming with creativity.

 

Isabelle’s previous recording was our best selling title over the Christmas period.
