About This Item
Isabelle Faust and François-Xavier Roth explore extremely contrasting facets of Stravinsky's output for violin. From the Concerto to the Pastorale, the composer plays with codes and colors, sketching extraordinarily vivid soundscapes. Once again, the musicians of Les Siècles have succeeded in rediscovering the works' original dynamic by using period instruments - and that changes everything. Album Tracks 1.
