For some years now, Isabelle Faust has explored the music of Johann Sebastian Bach with an infallible sense for new ways of looking at things, perfection and participation. This box provides an overview of this magnificent adventure. As a bonus, a DVD recorded at the grave of the cantor in the Thomaskirche of Leipzig.
Faust has combined the insights of historical performance practice so ideally with her personal sense of style and content that she touches and crosses that magical threshold where sound transforms into spirit. Her Bach tone thrives on the avoidance of vibrato, slenderness and purity, on brevity of articulation and rhetorical expressiveness. She places her interpretive subjectivity entirely in the service of an art filled with an almost divine perfection and objectified beauty and truth.
