Isabelle Faust (violin), Kristin von der Goltz (cello), Kristian Bezuidenhout (harpsichord)

Following on from their recording of the sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord, Isabelle Faust and Kristian Bezuidenhout are now joined by Kristin von der Goltz for an exploration of the wonderful pieces Bach composed for violin and continuo. They reveal to the full the elegance and poetry of these rarely recorded works.

"Faust is a splendid guide, not just thoughtful, but also on occasion provocative...Kristin von der Goltz on cello and Kristian Bezuidenhout, playing a resonant modern copy of a harpsichord contemporary to Bach, make up a remarkable ensemble providing much more than mere accompaniment." - BBC Music Magazine, November 2025
