About
The stillness of focus and purity of sound that has distinguished her playing can be heard in a repertoire stretching from Beethoven and Schubert through to Hartmann and Ligeti, on modern and period strings. Where other violinists dazzle, Faust is a thinker. On the subject of her own individual sound, she is hesitant: "Of course, I'm trying to be me in whatever repertoire I'm playing, and I do think that my work is different from that of other violinists but actually I'm never really trying to keep to this idea of an individual sound. It's always my goal to get a different interpretation and also a different kind of voice particular to the voice of the composer."
Reviews
Faust and Bezuidenhout played these sonatas a lot in concert before taking them into the studio and it shows both in the detail and the trust that allows for real risk-taking. ... Faust and Bezuidenhout bring these sonatas alive without recourse to gimmickry sample the joyous closing movement of the Third Sonata. Can I find fault with this set? No, I cannot. Its an eloquent and beautifully recorded homage to the composer and demands to be in the collection of all Bach lovers post-haste. Harriet Smith
