During Bach's lifetime, music for an unaccompanied melody instrument was still little explored territory, and his sonatas, partitas, and suites for solo violin or solo cello immediately established themselves as a high benchmark, unprecedented in their formidable technical challenges and infinite creativity. In his Partita in D minor, BWV 1004, Bach retains the standard sequence of dances typical of the suite, capping it with a movement of monumental proportions: this closing chaconne alone constitutes one of his most impressive creations! Isabelle Faust has gone back to the original manuscript sources to offer us her version of this absolute masterpiece of the violin repertoire. Diapason d'or of the Year (2010).

À l'époque de Bach, les pièces pour instrument seul étaient encore bien rares : avec ses sonates, partitas et suites pour violon ou violoncelle seul, le compositeur imposa immédiatement des références absolues en la matière, un mélange inédit de technique (redoutable !) et de créativité. Dans la Partita en ré mineur BWV 1004, Bach conserve l'agencement habituel de la suite en quatre mouvements, dont un final aux dimensions monumentales : à elle seule cette chaconne constitue l'une de ses créations les plus impressionnantes ! Isabelle Faust a puisé à la source du manuscrit original pour nous proposer sa version du chef-d'œuvre de la musique pour violon. Diapason d'or de l'année 2010.
