To My Friends: Arthur Grumiaux Plays His Best

Audiophile 180g Virgin Vinyl LP! Mastered From Original Masters of Universal Music! Pressed at Pallas! Violinist Arthur Grimiaux, accompanied by pianist Istvan Hajdu, plays his best-loved encores including works by Mozart, Gluck, Granados, Vivaldi, Beethoven, and more for the first volume of the 2-part series. 'The good Arthur Grumiaux was in a very sentimental mood when he chose the twenty-nine works for this pair of discs. The prevailing pace is andante, the prevailing mood one of heavy sweetness... a Mozart Rondo is bright, articulate, and well planned: Granados' Danza espanola No. 5 (Andaluza) is warm and compelling, with it's minor -major cadence as magical as ever: Kreisler's Schon Rosmarin is beguiling.' - High Fidelity
