Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

At the ripe old age of 19 Mozart wrote five violin concertos, and they represent his coming of age as a composer of orchestral music. From here on, it's basically one masterpiece after another. Though not difficult works, technically speaking, they partake in full measure of Mozart's uniquely sensual brand of melody. That means that successful performances must know how to spin out a singing musical line, while at the same time making the most of the rare opportunities for soloistic display. Taste and musicianship are more important qualities than virtuosity, and that makes these pieces ideal vehicles for Arthur Grumiaux's aristocratic temperament and technical polish. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars flawless mozart, 10 Jan 2003
By Neil Ford "Neil" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Grumiaux's accounts of the Mozart concertos are impeccable.Perhaps the real joy of these perfomances is their understated simplicity. Characterised by restrained nobility, flawless technique and a sense of line and phrasing of such refinement his playing is pure magic. Sound is excellent and accompaniment most tasteful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like listening to light, 22 Sep 2006
By S. Murphy (Worcester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a row which is ongoing with my friend Tomas who says that Mozart is 'too light'. Listen to these recordings with the cherubic Arthur Grimaux and you will hear that he is not 'too light' but 'like light'. It is like hearing sunlight. If that sounds a bit bipolar I apologise but this music is as near to an altered state as you can achieve without recourse to chemicals (which I would never. I am keeping myself pure for Wolfgang). I play it on my MP3 player whilst cycling to work, and in the autumn sunlight with mist on the canal, I can believe in angels and taste the next life. BUY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mozart, 25 Aug 2008
By Sid Nuncius "Sid Nuncius" (London England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I agree with the other reviewers here: this is a marvellous set, and a real bargain, too. Not only do you get all five of the Violin Concertos, but the sublime Sinfonia Concertante too, and all in impeccable performances.

Grumiaux was universally hailed as a truly great violinist and a wonderful interpreter of Mozart, and he shows why in this set. His technique is superb, he uses his virtuosity to show the music to its best advantage rather than to draw attention to the virtuosity itself and he has real feeling without ever slipping into schmaltz. For example, the well-known (perhaps over-exposed) Adagio of K216 is sublime, uplifting and heart-string tugging stuff without a hint of sentimentality; just sheer beauty, beautifully expressed. I have never come across recordings I prefer to these, and there are some very fine ones available so that's high praise indeed.

The LSO under Colin Davis and the NPO under Raymond Leppard produce the excellence you would expect from such fine conductors and orchestras, and the whole adds up to extremely fine music-making. The remastering of the recordings from the 1960s is excellent, producing a fine, warm, clear sound. The only minor gripe I have is that, as with all the Philips Duo releases, the packaging looks rather cheap and the notes are sketchy. The music more than makes up for this, though.

In short, you can't go wrong with this set. As I write it's available for well under a fiver so you've nothing to lose really and a wonderful musical experience to gain. Recommended in the strongest terms.
