Review by Lucas Hallel

A Heartfelt Dive into Grumiaux’s Masterpiece: Violinkonzert E Moll Op.64 & Violinkonzert Nr.1 G Moll Op.26 Let’s cut to the chase—this album is a stunner. Arthur Grumiaux, with his violin singing like it’s got its own soul, teamed up with Bernard Haitink and Das Concertgebouw Orchester Amsterdam for something truly unforgettable. It’s not just classical music; it’s Romantic-era storytelling at its finest. You feel every note deep in your chest, like Mendelssohn and Bruch are sitting right there, whispering their secrets into your ear. The first track that grabs you by the heart? Konzert Für Violine Und Orchester E-Moll Op.64. Right from the opening bars, Grumiaux makes the violin sing so sweetly, you almost forget it’s an instrument. The Adagio section feels like a quiet moment on a stormy day—you’re safe inside but still caught up in the chaos outside. And then comes the Allegro Molto Appassionato—it’s fiery, alive, full of yearning. I swear, this part sticks with me because it’s like watching someone run after something they’ll never quite catch. Bittersweet brilliance. Then there’s Konzert Für Violine Und Orchester Nr.1 G-Moll Op.26. This one hits different. From the very first notes, it’s raw emotion wrapped in perfect technique. The Allegro Energico crashes over you like waves during a thunderstorm, all power and no apologies. But what really gets me is the Andante. It’s tender, almost fragile, like holding a memory you don’t want to let go of. When Grumiaux plays those soft passages, time slows down. You find yourself holding your breath without even realizing it. What makes this album special isn’t just the technical perfection (because, yeah, Grumiaux could play circles around most people). It’s how human it feels. Every bow stroke, every crescendo, tells a story. Even the orchestra under Haitink sounds like they’re living each phrase alongside him. Together, they create this lush, cinematic experience that stays with you long after the last note fades. And can we talk about the design credit going to Helmut Baumgart? Whoever said classical albums have boring covers clearly hasn’t seen this one. It’s simple yet striking—like the music itself. Reflecting on this album, I realized something odd. Listening to these pieces felt less like admiring art and more like eavesdropping on history. These composers poured their souls into these works, and here we are centuries later, connecting with them through sound. That blew my mind a little. Oh, and here’s the kicker—I listened to this while stuck in traffic once, and suddenly being late didn’t seem so bad anymore. Go figure.

Classical violinist (born 1921 - died 1986). Arthur Grumiaux was one of the greatest exponents ever of the Franco-Belgian school of violin playing. Born to a working-class family in Villers-Perwin, Belgium, in 1921, he was urged by his grandfather to study music and began his musical education at age four. By age eleven, he gained first prize in both violin and piano from the Charleroi Conservatory of Music and went on to study violin in Brussels with Alfred Dubois, who was a student of Eugène Ysaÿe. In 1939, he was awarded the Henri Vieuxtemps and François Prume prizes and was given, in 1940, the Prix de Virtuosité by the Belgian government. Grumiaux studies included substantial training in counterpoint and fugue, which he pursued  along with further violin studies  with the violinist George Enesco in Paris.
