Isabelle Faust & 'The Sleeping Beauty'

Exemplary technique and extraordinary interpretation skills make Isabelle Faust one of the most high-profile violinists of her generation. The German violinist underlines this status with her performances of classics and lesser-known works on her 1704 Stradivarius, nicknamed 'Sleeping Beauty'.

Critical acclaim

The Sunday Times lauded her recording of Beethoven's violin sonatas as being one of the most exciting versions of recent decades and it is therefore perhaps unsurprising that master pianist Alexander Melnikov is pleased to join her for this performance.

This evening's performance features works by Dietrich, R. Schumann, Brahms, Bartok and Busoni.
