Isabelle Faust is one of Europe's most distinguished and celebrated violinists. Her recording of the Beethoven and Berg violin concertos with the late Claudio Abbado and Orchestra Mozart received a Diapason d'or'(France), Echo Klassik (Germany), Gramophone Award 2012 (UK) and the Record Academy Award (Japan). Faust has made over a dozen critically-acclaimed recordings for Harmonia Mundi, spanning concertos, quartets, quintets and solo recitals. In 2010, her recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin was awarded a Diapason d'Or de l'Année. She also won a Diapason d'Or and a Gramophone Award for her recording of Beethoven's Sonatas for Piano and Violin with recital partner Alexander Melnikov.

Alexander Melnikov's recording of the complete Preludes and Fugues by Shostakovich was awarded the BBC Music Magazine Award, Choc de classica and the Jahrespreis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and was also named by the BBC Music Magazine as one of the '50 Greatest Recordings of All Time'.
