Bach for Hyperion met with the highest critical acclaim, and was Gramophone’s Instrumental Disc of the Year and Critic’s Choice at the Classical Brits. “Steven Isserlis was anything but routine. Isserlis flings himself into music . . . he’s utterly committed to every moment, making a light, elegant sound that is anything but exaggerated.” The Washington Post.
