For decades, the words «baroque violin literature» mainly brought to mind the names Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi. Artist-in-residence Isabelle Faust now sets out to broaden our horizon. Together with three prominent colleagues who are as familiar as she with historically informed performance practice, Faust juxtaposes Bach’s violin music with compositions by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, Georg Muffat and Johann Paul von Westhoff. Thus, the associated musical traditions of Bohemia, France, Central Germany and the Alsace are placed in a truly «European» context.
