What makes Isabelle Faust's Violin Concerto special is that she both thinks and feels the music freshly...Equally valuable is the sense of interplay between Faust and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra .Strong personality though she is, she never treats the work as a star vehicle...the orchestra retains a presence, allowing the soloist to step centre stage but reacting discreetly to her thoughts.
With a string section of just 32, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra achieve an unusual degree of clarity, with the important wind parts prominent. And Faust is often happy to allow soloists from the orchestra to take centre stage...the fiery parts of the concerto are particularly successful and the lyrical episodes very touching...this performance [of the Sextet] offers near-perfect balance and integration of sound.
Isabelle Faust’s latest recording for Harmonia Mundi has been honoured with the Diapason d’Or.
