Isabelle Faust's recordings have won prizes since her harmonia mundi debut in 1997 which earned her a Gramophone Young Artist Award. In 2010 her Beethoven Violin Sonatas with Alexander Melnikov also won. Beethoven-Berg, with the late Claudio Abbado, was awarded Gramophone Recording of the Month, Daily Telegraph Classical CD of the Week, Times CD of the Week, Classic FM Disc of the Week, Sunday Times CD of the Week, BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Month and CD Review Disc of the Week.

Isabelle Faust researched the original manuscript sources to offer us her version of these titans of J S Bach's solo violin repertoire, which immediately became benchmark recordings -; awarded Gramophone Editor's Choices in June 2010 and November 2012, respectively.

Isabelle’s two volumes of sonatas and partitas are now brought together for the first time.

"there’s some of the best-judged ornamentation I’ve heard in repeated passages. The recording is utterly self-effacing, in just the right way, and my only complaint is that the job’s half done...I’m impatient for the rest! Harmonia Mundi is the label, it’s released this coming Monday, and the notes are excellent as well." - Andrew McGregor, CD Review, BBC Radio 3, 27 March 2010

“Her serious dedication soars from her Stradivarius, a dark-toned beauty but capable of much silver light in its higher reaches...Faust’s wonderfully focused playing pulls you right inside the music, and magically makes you imagine the harmonies that Bach only implies.” - The Times, 10th April 2010 ****

“Isabelle Faust has made a special impression as a deep, thoughtful, unshowy player, and these qualities make her ideally suited to the great Bach solo works...her command of the big structures, especially the huge C major Fugue and D minor Chaconne, is superb.” - The Observer, 27th June 2010

“Unbeatable playing in the conclusion to a benchmark Bach project” - The Strad, November/December 2012
