		The ensemble led by Arthur Grumiaux recorded these works back in 1973 and the present digital remastering, although not without a faint touch of analogue background, is as successful as anyone could reasonably wish.
		The Grumiaux team come fully into their own with the wonderful C major Quintet; rightly, they give us the first-movement repeat, which is omitted by the Amadeus and Cecil Aronowitz (DG) but included by the ensemble led by Salvatore Accardo in their recent three-disc set for Nuova Era/New Note.
		Grumiaux and his fellow artists are more graceful and poignant than the Amadeus in the first movement of the G minor Quintet while still capturing its urgent tension.

	Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Arthur Grumiaux at jsbach.org
		Arthur Grumiaux's performance of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord prompted me to buy this collection.
		Unlike other soloists Grumiaux's extraordinary technique allows him to conquer the technical difficulties of these pieces to such an extent that the purity of Bach's musical communication is fully revealed.
		Grumiaux's tone is steely but frequently earthy, espcially in the massive groups of double-stopped chords in the Chaconne.

	Violin Concertos by Arthur Grumiaux at jsbach.org
		I guess that this is another Holliger CD which will go out the window before the backups, in the event that the house catches on fire.
		Grumiaux's graceful playing is absolutely fitting for such refined music and he charms the listener.
		Although this recording is highly acclaimed with good reason (Grumiaux's tone and strident style is gripping in places) the A minor starts off with him playing slightly out of tune, a trend that continues.

		Further prizes followed and in 1939 Grumiaux attended Enescu's masterclasses in Paris, in the same year he was awarded the Henri Vieuxtemps and François Prume prizes and was given, in 1940, the Prix de Virtuosité by the Belgian government.
		Despite being afflicted with diabetes, Grumiaux continued a rigorous schedule of concert performances and recordings, primarily in Western Europe due to his aversion to flying, until his sudden death from a stroke in 1986.

	ArkivMusic \| Vieuxtemps: Violin Concetros Nos. 4 & 5
		Arthur Grumiaux was one of the last great violinists to treat Vieuxtemps' concertos as musically appealing, sincere compositions and not merely as bravura vehicles.
		Because it's not as showy, Grumiaux's un-mannered performance actually heightens the devotional atmosphere of the first movement, and the scherzo affords a splendid demonstration of the violinist's virtuosity in full flight.
		The finale, a march, is easier to bring off, and it rarely fails on disc, but in Perlman's version (as usual in his EMI recordings from the 1970s) he's forwardly balanced and closely miked, so string noise and position changes are plainly audible.

	Bach Sonatas and Partitas Grumiaux Philips50 :[KM] Classical Reviews- []July 2001 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bach was himself an excellent violinist, in addition to being a virtuoso organist and harpsichordist, and these works are indeed very difficult, both in the actual playing as well as the nuances of phrasing that need to be applied.
		Grumiaux's interpretation of these works is singular and personal, and, while some may disagree with his choices of tempo and phrasing, or with his occasional straying from Bach's manuscript, this remains one of the best recordings of these works.
		They are less convincing, in part because of the sound (the instruments are separated too much, with the harpsichord on the right channel and the violin on the left channel), and the harpsichord itself, which undoubtedly has the sound that was expected of the harpsichord in the 1960s.

		Two versions of the Beethoven Violin Concerto from Itzhak Perlman (both EMI), two vintage Philips ones from Arthur Grumiaux, the earlier just reissued on their budget label, Concert Classics—they are all in their way superb performances, combining immaculate fiddle-playing with rare depth of insight.
		Though applause is generally unwelcome on record, one can hardly complain that EMI includes 45 seconds of the ovation which greeted the violinist at the end of his relaxed yet brilliant account of the finale.
		Both the Grumiaux versions of the Concerto have that same ideal coupling, and though the version of the Romances on the latest budget Concert Classics issue dates from 1960, as against the 1970 recording for those on their mid-price Silver Line version; the sound is clearer and more forward.

		Arthur Grumiaux recorded his Philips traversal of the Bach solo Partitas and Sonatas in 1960-61.
		Grumiaux brings the utmost refinement and purity of line to every bar.
		Grumiaux also achieves exceptional clarity of articulation in such movements as the fugue from the G minor work, and is both warmly spontaneous and natural in the slow movements (there's none of Menuhin's over-worked ornamentations, just enough to grace Bach's lines tastefully and elegantly).

		But far from being mere composition exercises, these are highly rewarding works on their own, and these outstanding performances make the best possible case for their claim to be ranked among Beethoven's chamber music masterpieces.
		I have first met withe Grumiaux Trio when I randomly bught vol.12 of Philips' "the best of the complete mozart edition".
		Beethoven evidently was inspired by this challenge and created five early masterpieces for this ensemble that have never been surpassed in their imagination and superb craftsmanship.

		Though recorded in the early 1960s, these beautifully played accounts by the Belgian Arthur Grumiaux have few rivals and the sound quality is amazingly good.
		All five concertos were written in the same year (1775), the last three undoubted masterpieces written with the same inexhaustible supply of melody and invention as Mozart's piano concertos.
		In addition to the concertos are two violin sonatas, also with Grumiaux, but instead of the polished London Symphony Orchestra under Colin Davis, he is accompanied by the great Romanian pianist Clara Haskil.

		And when the great Belgian virtuoso Arthur Grumiaux took his turn before the microphones of the Philips recording team, it was with Colin Davis on the podium.
		Happily, it's lost none of its former lustre; those who remember Grumiaux's reading from the days of LP also will recall how vital and natural the recording itself appeared to be.
		Davis and the Concertgebouw furnish magnificent accompaniments, and while Grumiaux also is magnificent in the two Romances, Edo de Waart and the New Philharmonia Orchestra sound less polished.

		Arthur Grumiaux's performances of Mozart, whether of the violin concertos, the sonatas, or various chamber pieces with violin, were marked by patrician elegance and an unfailing sense of style.
		For this 1973 recording of the string quintets, arguably the summit of Mozart's chamber output, Grumiaux surrounded himself with musicians of a similar stripe, and the result remains among the treasures of the catalog.
		By today's standards, the performances may sound just a bit laid-back and relaxed, but the ensemble is marvelous, and the beauty of tone Grumiaux and company achieved in these readings has rarely been approached on disc since.

		Great violinists in the past have left a handful of recordings on these works, but few could make an impact as powerful as Arthur Grumiaux (1921-1986), a Belgian violinist.
		True, Grumiaux had not achieved the fame such as Jascha Heifetz or Lord Yehudi Menuhin but he definitely deserved a place among them as immortals.
		Personally I should say that Arthur Grumiaux is the perfect interpreter of JS Bach, and only one word could describe his playing -- aristocratic.

		The Tchaikovsky Concerto is realized with great verve and attention to color details, and the score is given to us nearly complete with repeats, especially in the Allegro vivacissimo finale.
		Grumiaux, however, projects such a direct sweetness and conviction into the work, eschewing any undue lingering over phrases, that the plastic charm of the work unfolds like an elegant kilt.
