Music reviews of Vieuxtemps: Violin Concetros Nos. 4 & 5

Music Review: Poetic justice
Rating: 5 Stars

This review is in reference to his recording of the wonderful Vieuxtemps Concerto 4, of course Grumiaux's poetic style does justice to this fantasticly lyrical concerto once described as a symphony with violin solos. Indeed the amazing Vieuxtemps had a severly advanced talent for orchestration and developing melodies with undeniable purity.

I have heard Heifetz and Markov play the Vieuxtemps Concerto 4 but this recording outshines all others and is the finest available. I feel so lucky that this recording is available as an import because I treasure it immensely.

In addition to the Concertos 4 and 5 listed as the CD title, Mr Grumiaux also plays the phenominal "Ballade et Polonaises", a wonderful piece for violin and piano that is rarely played. This recording is one that I completely treasure.

Of course I give this recording my highest recommendation, so much emotion and beauty to be heard here.
