Beethoven did not intend his Violin Concerto as a spectacular virtuoso work, but rather as a dialogue between soloist and orchestra. The ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata, on the other hand, notorious for its technical difficulty, must be played in a highly concertante style. Isabelle Faust has chosen the ideal partners to perform these two masterpieces.
