Like many of the recent "Original Masters" reissues, this 6CD set of music performed by violinist Arthur Grumiaux has been available since last July as an import, and now has finally been released in the U.S. And while there are many items contained on this set that have been reissued previously on CD, "Arthur Grumiaux: Philips Recordings 1955-1978" offers some real treasures. First the duplicates -- the majority of the Concertos on this set have appeared in various Philips single titles and the "Duo" series over the years, including the Bach, Mendelssohn, Bruch and Tchaikovsky selections. The other CDs contain rare and sought after Sonata recordings (Handel, Bach and Schubert) and they are delightful renditions. I also particularly enjoyed the Vivaldi and Michael Haydn works with Edo de Waart conducting. Overall, this set is very good, though a notch below Grumiaux's previous "Original Masters" set in my opinion (see my review). My biggest problem with this collection is it took me four attempts to get one that did not have a defective CD6!!! Beginning at around 8 1/2 minutes on the last movement of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (literally the set's last track!), I noticed a running skip that lasted for the remainder of the disc. I had the online company where I originally bought it from send me another set, only to have the same problem show up again and again. Finally I found one at a local store that didn't have the defect, so hopefully UNI has solved this problem. (I e-mailed Decca and they said they would look into it, but they never followed-up with me.) So if you get this box set, enjoy it but listen carefully to the last disc!
