Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Arthur Grumiaux's style may be recognisably "old school" in its. warmth, the way he uses vibrato and his luscious, full-throated tone,. but thankfully great music-making is not at the mercy of fashion. And. great music-making this certainly is. In faster movements Grumiaux. strides energetically through Bach's sinuous solo lines, in inner. movements he tends them lovingly, never losing the opportunity to point. out to the listener something he or she may have previously missed, but. never lingering long enough to lose the plot. In the Double Violin. Concerto Herman Krebbers proves an ideal partner, the tone of the two. violins sufficiently differentiated but their interpretation perfectly. matched. In the Oboe and Violin Concerto there's a switch of orchestra. and conductor, with a discernibly larger-scaled result but with no lack. of momentum (the sublime duetting in the slow movement is exactly. that--sublime). It would be difficult to find warmer or more desirable performances than these. --Harriet Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant style and consumate artistry, 16 Jan 2003
The violin concerti by JS Bach have long been cornerstones of the repertoire. Countless recordings and come and many have gone. This one has stayed - and for good reason.

Arthur Grumiaux was Belgian and studied the violin there, joining a long line of distinguished performers who formed an important school of playing. The characteristics of that school were an unforced yet full-bodied tone production which is quite different from the super-charged New York school which seems to hold so much sway these days. By contrast the playing of Grumiaux et al seems to be redolent of a byegone, more civilised age.

What he brings to this music is a warm, vibrant tone completely at the service of the music. He retains throughout a poise which is at once both aristocratic in its bearing and human in its response to these fantastic pieces. The fast movements are characterised by a lively, italianate sensibility with a strong rhythmic sense. The slow movements are simply manner from heaven.

For this reviewer the real gem is the concerto for oboe and violin where Grumiaux is joined by the great swiss player, Heinz Holliger. The sheer accomplishment of the playing is breathtaking and there is a real sense of partnership, of two great musicians handing over ideas to each other.

At budget price this is a steal and should be in every music lovers collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comforting, as it should be, 12 Feb 2009
By J. Severidt "jornfin" (Rovaniemi, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Too much has been said about the clarity of structure of Bach's music. That's all true, but hardly the main characteristic, and - particularly in these works - it so easily traps the performers into over-doing it and turning the violin concerts into Prussian marches.
The main point of Bach's music is its humane, comforting nature. Born into a world still devastated by 30 years of continuous warfare and the following plague years, losing his parents as a child, and later on, 9 of his own 20 (...) children, Bach was - to quote Handel's Messiah - "a man acquainted with grief".
Unsurprisingly, about the first thing his music communicates, is comfort. To achieve that, one has to go easy on the outlining edges, and allow the music to flow; one has to allow for its inner warmth, its benevolence to shine through.
Grumiaux is just the man to achieve that. And not for the first time, either. Masterful to the point where virtuosity for display's sake becomes a thing of ridicule, he instead disappears entirely behind the music.
Above all, he infuses these concerts with emotional depth. The second movements of the concerts for violin solo in particular receive an emotional complexity that seems to preceed Beethoven.
I love these performances - because they don't feel like performances, but like immediate expressions of Bach's good intentions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most beautifully performed, 26 Dec 2007
By KazM (London) - See all my reviews
Arthur Grumiaux plays Violin Concertos No.1, BWV 1041 and No. 2, BWV 1042 most beautifully. He has an immaculate style and musicality. In the Concerto for Two Violins BWV 1043, he is joined by Herman Krebbers, another excellent violinist and the then concertmaster of the great Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam.

The orchestral support from Les Solistes Romands under the baton of Arpad Gerecz is very good but rather discreet.

In Concerto for Oboe and Violin BWV 1060, Grumiaux is joined by Heinz Holliger. This is another superlative performance, making this CD one of the best among Bach's concerto recordings.

The quality of recording is excellent, although in violin concertos the instruments are placed rather too forward.
