Combining elegance and conscience: Isabelle During and her filmic violin…
"The violin always shines with its finesse and the ability to articulate constantly the vocal line: Isabelle Durin takes us through the landscapes and film sequences which, despite the barbaric horror, avoids sentimental tragedy. The honest intention and adherence to the musical form is at the forefront. Between them, these two musicians have successfully re-written these original scores, creating some beautiful transcriptions."

"Above all, whilst listening to this recording, one is immediately seduced by the sound, the phrasing, the colour and subtlety of Isabelle Durin. One cannot stop… giving in to the beautiful, beautiful sound of the violin. Isabelle Durin plays in her own way to the full extent of her ability. Elegance and good taste are evident in the warm sound, the expressive fingering, the phrasing, which allows the music to breathe and the deep amber notes, evocative of the viola (…and that's a compliment) …a continuous song from the Jewish soul.
