Details: Amazon.caArthur 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
