Product Description

Arthur Grumiaux was among the most elegant and refined violinists who ever recorded. This doesn’t preclude his playing the famous Chaconne with lots of power, which he does. But it means hearing Bach with all technical difficulties minimized to give you a clear view of the music. Sometimes, as in Joseph Szigeti’s late recordings (Vanguard Classics OVC 8021/2), there is a sense of struggle between the violin and the music that for more dramatic Bach. Grumiaux allows you to hear everything Bach put into the music, and it all sounds beautiful. –Leslie Gerber

The performance are simply the best available!
The recording is a fantastic snap shot of a truly great artist at the top of his game. The Lp version is a bit more lush in terms of overall sound. I wish someone would remaster this to 180 gram vinyl. This set is a wonderful opportunity to experience music playing beyond belief! …more info

Wonderful
This is a superb recording of a series of masterpieces. Grumiaux’s performance is splendid and the quality of the recording is outstanding. This is one of my favorite recordings and can/should be listened to over and over. Due to the glut of older remastered and often superb recordings, classical music CDs are often relatively inexpensive. This one though is an incredible bargain, even at the usual retail price….more info

Absolutely transcendental
I stumbled upon this recording gem as college student needing to find a recording of the Ciaccona for a class paper. There are no other words to describe this interpretation other than utterly and completely beautiful. Over the years, I have studied other recordings of these masterpieces by other violinists, but – as many have testified before – this is the one recording I have always returned to. A true expression of a musical offering from a composer deeply devoted to God exacted to perfection by an artist who realizes this devotion….more info

Superb renditions of truly exquisite quality..
This set by Grumiaux of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas is truly magnificent. The recording quality is great and words cannot express the beauty of the music and the artistry of Grumiaux’s performance.

If you like solo violin this set will take you to new heights. The sheer beauty and harmony of the pieces will thrill you to no end. Even if you don’t particularly care for classical music this set deserves your attention. If you even remotely like music you will be hooked. What a bargain!

Very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!…more info
