Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great performances (no skips on disc 6)
Michael Richman noted in his review that he had problems with disc 6. I purchased this set in February, 2008 and had no skips on disc 6 - or on any other disc.

The sound quality overall is very good given the wide range of recording dates. Only on the 1955 recordings (Bach Concertos 1 & 2) is there any type of issue - there is some scratchiness in those two pieces.

The performances are excellent. Highly recommended.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The aristocratic refinement

Artur Grumiaux was gifted by the Gods with a fabulous sense of mercurial skillfulness, powerful vibrato, slender lyricism and sheer expression which made of every piece he played an unusual fact to listen.

Born in 1921, his fame just began at 18 when he won the Francois Prume and Henri Viextemps, his musical maturity allowed him to experience and enhance with his frequent appearing in Prades, to become one of the most eloquent, elegant and mesmerizing virtuosi of this beloved ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Good Grumiaux, But Beware CD6!
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 ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Historic, and sometimes great
This is a mixed batch of recordings, from the mono Bach concertos from the 50's to his last Tchaikovsky concerto. I bought this mainly because it is the only way I could find to get the Handel Sonatas. And they are absolutely fantastic. It was worth the price to get those to replace my old LP. Of the other recordings (except the Bach), I'll only say that you get the famous Grumiaux sound and a lot of music for the price.
