This release showcases the exceptional violin performances of Arthur Grumiaux, renowned for his interpretation of Mozart's repertoire. Regardless of Philips' signature semi-homogenized orchestral sound, they highlight Grumiaux's exquisite violin tone and finely tune the balance between soloist and orchestra. Colin Davis provides excellent accompaniment, serving as a fitting backdrop for the string players.
