The German violinist Isabelle Faust is recognised worldwide as an outstanding soloist. She approaches each work with the greatest respect and sensitivity to its historical context and ability to capture the very essence of the music. At the same time, she has an ability to also make other musicians better when they play with her.
Together with the Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov, whose musicianship is imbued with a poignant and almost sarcastic humour, intelligence and empathy, this evening will undoubtedly be a concert experience in a class of its very own.
