180-gram vinyl
Mastered from the original masters of Universal Music
Pressed at Pallas in Germany
Violinist Arthur Grimiaux, accompanied by pianist Istvan Hajdu, plays more of his best-loved encores including works by Beethoven, Kreisler, Elgar, Faure, Albeniz, Dvorak, and more for the second 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 its minor -major cadence as magical as ever: Kreisler's Schon Rosmarin is beguiling." — High Fidelity
