Isabelle Faust’s highly praised interpretations are enriched by a laborious study of the original historical context of each work, with a view to a reading as authentic as knowledge allows. “It’s much easier to get an image of what the composer may think,” Faust told The Guardian about the information she seeks to surround herself with.
