Arthur Grumiaux was among the most elegant and refined violinists who ever recorded. This doesn't preclude his playing the famous Chaconne with lots of power, which he does. But it means hearing Bach with all technical difficulties minimized to give you a clear view of the music. Sometimes, as in Joseph Szigeti's late recordings (Vanguard Classics OVC 8021/2), there is a sense of struggle between the violin and the music that for more dramatic Bach. Grumiaux allows you to hear everything Bach put into the music, and it all sounds beautiful. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Grumiaux and Bach.......2006-08-31

I originally ordered Heifetz playing Bach's sonatas and partitas because I was learning the Chaconne, but because it was going to take a month to arrive, I ordered Grumiaux in the meantime. I have been so pleased with Grumiaux' smooth tone, his vibrato (never too much), his flawless chords, and his near perfect intonation, that although my Heifetz recording has since arrived, I still listen to Grumiaux much more.

5 out of 5 stars My old favourite.......2006-06-28

These works are, for me, the highest possible achievement of violin music, and rank alongside the Cello Suites and the Well-Tempered Clavier as Bach's most meditative, introspective and spiritually profound works. They take you through a whole range of emotions and moods, and probably not coincidentally, like the Cello Suites, they end on a bright note, almost like the light of heaven shining down on you. Listening to the fugal movements is like being in a private cathedral of sound. And I say this without being a religious person in any way - this music is more personally spiritual, without being necessarily 'religious', like so many of Bach's vocal works.

I first heard these works performed by Menuhin (like Grumiaux, a student of Enescu), and though I retain a fondness for his recordings, I think Grumiaux's version is, all around, the best. I do agree with some of the other reviewers that Milstein can give a bit more passion, and I particularly like how the lower parts of the counterpoint are often more audible in Milstein (for instance, in the beginning bars of the D-Major section of the Chaconne - which is less accented in the Grumiaux), but I personally don't like Milstein's steely tone that much, and Bach sometimes sounds too much like hard work in his versions. In contrast, Grumiaux's tone is much warmer, I find, though he can put on the power very well whenever it's needed, and his playing is so effortless, one is able to really appreciate the beauty and profundity of Bach's works.

I'm very partial to period interpretations normally, and having now acquired Rachel Podger's recordings, I prefer those in many aspects; but on the whole, I find Grumiaux better than the other 'authentic' performance I've heard, that of Kuijken. Grumiaux IS old-fashioned, but he avoids the excesses of most of the others of his generation (even Menuhin takes some movements - like the third of the G-Minor - so slowly, it's impossible to remember it's a dance-movement!), and plays something that seems, to me, to be very much something in the spirit of Bach, even if not entirely 'authentic'. As Manze has said, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with playing Bach on modern instruments - the music is truly universal! Even though on a few points here and there I do prefer other recordings, overall, I find Grumiaux's is simply the best - and I think definitely the best introduction to this awe-inspiring music.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential.......2006-01-24

This is one of those recordings that belongs in everyone's classical collection from the beginning. It is without a doubt one of the most heartfelt, achingly beautiful, and totally masterful recordings ever made. There is simply nothing more to say.

Anyone who has it knows- and everyone who doesn't needs to.

3 out of 5 stars A somewhat clinical, "perfect" Bach.......2005-05-17

These sonatas and partitas are among my favorite Bach works, alongside the Goldberg Variations. I've heard most of the great recordings of these suites by the great violinists, including this version by Grumiaux. My favorite rendition remains the 50s EMI survey by Nathan Milstein (not the DG version from the 1970s).

Now, Grumiaux stands tallest with me for his recordings of the Bach violin concertos and the famous double violin concerto, as well as his sublime version of the six violin/harpsichord sonatas (this is my favorite Grumiaux recording, and a "desert island recording" for me...an absolute must-have for anyone). For those, Grumiaux is unmatched in my opinion. But, in those cases, he has accompaniment that he must interact with. In these unaccompanied violin works, he has a subtle detachment. For an example, listen to the opening Grave movement from Sonata 2, and especially the Andante (movement 3) of Sonata 2. Grumiaux's technique is flawless, and he is almost at that magic threshold. Then, listen to Milstein play that Andante from the EMI 50s recording. You will hear exactly what I am talking about, something a bit too ineffable to put into words, but something you can hear. Given the fact that Grumiaux has recorded my favorite versions of Bach's other violin works, as I've mentioned above, this criticism was difficult for me to make.

I'm not suggesting a bombastic, romanticized account of these suites. Milstein finds the perfect balance (in his 50s version) between reverence of Bach and technical mastery. You feel every note of the music as it comes from Bach, and the depth of insight is extraordinary. Grumiaux captured that with his other recordings that I've mentioned above, but in these solo suites, there is a depth of feeling that is lacking. He's obviously more concerned with perfect form and cleanliness of line than he is with probing the music for its innermost secrets. Milstein achieves this, but on the EMI set from the 1950s, not the DG set from the 70s, where I think that Milstein also fell short.

It IS possible to have perfect form and cleanliness of line without sacrificing feeling. Milstein found that magic compromise in the 1950s on EMI. The words I always use after hearing the 50s Milstein are "intimacy" and "insight." His insights are so profound. Grumiaux's survey has impeccable sound quality, played on a gorgeous instrument, with flawless technique in the elegant style. Still, it doesn't get to the heart of this music. It's "perfect," but it doesn't speak to me.

5 out of 5 stars I remember...........2005-05-16

One of those CDs you grow up listening to -- introducing one's soul to the beauty that is Bach. I remember buying this CD on a whim since it was so cheap the summer before heading to High School at a Sam Goodies -- it totally just restructured everything I knew about music. There is nothing like this recording out there. Seriously, buy it for your kids, and introduce them to "true love". It is what anyone if they listen carefully to this CD will realize is the essence to Arthur's playing.

5 out of 5 stars Every listen brings a smile.......2007-06-06

Whilst there's no definitive solo violin Bach recording - and there never will be - RP is an absolute must have to anyone wishing to explore the mystics of Bach.

So frequent are the timbre adjustments within each phrase, in every solo - I can't help but wonder how long Rachel pondered how she wanted these recordings to sound - was it years or decades.

Whilst it is true that the baroque violin (equiped with gut strings) provides an unexpected resonance - within a minute, i'd forgotten the different violin sound - and was mesmorised by how easy Rachel makes these solos sound. a beautiful interpretation that one no classical music lover should go without.

5 out of 5 stars Fine Performance of a Great Work.......2007-05-25

There is little I can add to the glowing reviews already posted. I think Rachael Podger a very fine fiddler and I own a number of her recordings.
Here I feel that she plays Bach with love and a deep affection, it is much more than a demonstration of technical ability. I have never been able to get that feeling with Grumiaux's version which I find harsh and mechanical, whereas I find his playing of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, in particular their chamber music, excellent. Ms Podger and her baroque violin are superb; 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Bright, articulate and intelligent.......2007-02-02

This is a powerful performance. Rachel Podger's sound as recorded with crystalline brilliance here, paints a multi-layered yet clear, colorful and flowing landscape of these beautiful pieces. Her equal attention to the depth and width of her sound as manifested in the care given to every clearly-phrased note to create a cohesive whole, is what I imagine would have made Bach himself stand up and take notice of her intelligent, well-rounded interpretation. Rachel Podger is reminiscent of Glenn Gould in her ability to flesh out Bach's genius with a technique that relies mainly on precision and clarity to create a soulful, playful but knowing sound that is a delight to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars The Ideal Version .......2006-12-17

I have bought a few other versions of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas, including two period-instrument versions, but none has satisfied me as has Rachel Podger's. I am struck first of all by the immense beauty of her 1739 Genoese violin, which is especially mellow and rich in the D and G strings. All the elements of her interpretation - the variety of articulations she employs, her feeling for polyphony and for the logical flow of Bach's ideas - are bathed in a beautiful, sweet, silky tone, free from the astringency of some baroque players; it is almost as if she is the baroque violinist for listeners used to a more "traditional" approach. The startling commendations I had heard about this release ("the finest recordings of these works I've ever heard" - National Public Radio) made me want to order it. I can now say that after a long time searching for the perfect version of unaccompanied Bach, I have finally found it. It is the only version that now sits on my CD shelf.

5 out of 5 stars Simply incredible!.......2006-10-10

Miss Podger is showing her incredible virtuoso here that actually provokes the intellectual depth of JSB's music. Plus, the sound is of premium quality here. Itzhak Perlman will too be amazed if he'd hear this.

Rachel Podger's growing reputation among early-music enthusiasts is buttressed by this set of Bach's sonatas for violin and continuo. Her intonation is always on target, her tone sweet but not cloying. While she shares the understated interpretive stance of so many historically informed performers, she allows the emotions to shine through in, for example, the opening Largo of Sonata No. 5. And where the dancelike elements are to the fore, as in the Allegro of No. 6, she shows she can swing with the best. She's aided immeasurably by harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock, whose alert playing is enjoyable throughout. When Bach gives the continuo player his moment in the sun, as in the solo third movement of No. 6, he cuts loose with shapely playing that almost steals the show. So fans of current styles in early-music performance will enjoy this set, though they'll find more excitement in Andrew Manze's Harmonia Mundi set and in Fabio Bondi's on Opus 111. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars An unexpected delight.......2005-08-10

Within the first minute of listening to this CD, one is immediately captivated by Rachel Podger's gorgeous tone and intonation - a truly mellifluous sonority that ranks with the finest. Her subtle phrasings, gentle-but-sparing vibrato and deft bowing technique combine to produce a sound that is effortlessly cantabile, highly refreshing and never tiring to hear. She shapes her melody lines with great artistry and elegance - producing a sonorities of pure delight. Plus, her intonation sounds superbly "in tune" - which sometimes cannot be said about some violin music (especially that with a period violin). You hear all of these fine artistic qualities too in her Bach solo violin partitas/sonatas recordings (Channel) - complex pieces of music that are not only very difficult to play but even more difficult to make sound beautiful. Rachel Podger makes all this music of Bach sound not only easy but unusually beautiful - where you can listen to the entire CD without feeling it is too much.

Equally adept at this music is the ever-competent Baroque master, Mr. Trevor Pinnock, who not only provides interesting accompanyment to Podger but especially shines in the spotlit keyboard runs and solos. In these he maintains a spirited progression and crisp articulations throughout that keeps one in rapt attention. His cembalo solo in the #6 allegro (track 3) is downright sexy and can make one want to jump up and dance. His harpsichord sound is exceptionally warm and inviting (as harpsichords go) and not "clancky" as some can be. I surprisingly loved it. This is important for listening to an entire CD featuring that instrument! If you normally do not warm to the sound of the harpsichord, you may be pleasantly surprized that you like Pinnock's harpsichord here. Both musicians maintain an ideal balance between them with a delightfull interaction throughout the music that never seems labored or monotonous. Not an easy task for such music featuring only two instuments over two CD's.

Sometimes it is hard to define what exactly makes a fine performance but you know it when you hear it - and this is one of those. This duo's playing is completely in synch and makes the music come alive in a very natural and enjoyable way. Together, they bring out more of a carefree exuberance and lyrical depth in this music that others might not plumb. Also, the sound quality is sparkling and realistic - really superb. This CD was highly rated by Gramophone and Penguin Guide who give high marks for this duo's marvelous performance. The other performance that gets high marks from many guides is the lively version by Biondi & Allessandrini on Op. 111 done with Biondi's characteristic Italian expressivity and panache ... but it is a hard CD to find. In short, this beautiful recording - one of Podger's finest - is a gem not to be missed by the Baroque lover.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Stirring.......2004-06-13

Pinnock and Podger play wonderfully together. I never tire of this CD. Many joyful moments and many lovely, expressive moments. How does Podger do it? I could listen to her playing all day.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Sonata Recording.......2001-05-08

Two CD collection of Bach's Sonatas for violin and harpsichord. I have always been a great fan of the harpsichord, and here Pinnock is outstanding in is chamber music capability.

The resonance of Podger's instrument is wonderful, so full and throaty and lyrical. I especially like the spirited Allegro to Sonata No. 6, and Pinnock's harpsichord solo on the Allegro of that opening Sonata.

The complexities of Bach's composition are here richly interpretated with good tempo and balance. The Cantabile is wonderfully charming.

A great Bach collection.

5 out of 5 stars Words should fail me.......2001-03-02

but here they are. I bought my first copy of Bach's Violin and Harpsichord Sonatas after seeing the movie Tom Jones in about 1964. The sound track of the film features some lively harpsichord playing and I wanted to hear more. Unfortunately (I thought) the only lp of harpsichord music available had violin in addition, as well as viola da gamba. The version of the Bach sonatas by Menuhim, Malcolm and Gauntlett has been out of print for years, but it was a hum-dinger. It seduced me. I have bought other versions since then and always been disappointed until now. Podger, Pinnock and Jonathan Manson have done an amazing job.

Caution: if you buy this, close the curtains before playing. Otherwise your neighbors might get to see you dancing around in ecstacy. This stuff is refined rock and roll.

4 out of 5 stars Podger gets better and better.......2001-01-13

Rachel Podger, concertmaster of Trevor Pinnock's The English Concert, is a fresh and winning violinist. Her sound is warm and accurate, and this recording can be recommended. She is more straightforward and natural in these marvelous sonatas than Andrew Manze, who was not at his best in his recent HM version. But my numero uno choice still is Fabio Biondi and Rinaldo Alessandrini in OPUS111. The Italian dream team play like gods, and the superior OPUS111 sound make their version the most desirable of all.

As in his set of Bach's unaccompanied violin music, Arthur Grumiaux plays this music with effortless mastery and a fine sense of Baroque style. You can count on this great musician to avoid letting any mannerisms or inappropriate romanticism intrude on the music, leaving you with pure Bach played with great refinement. The programming here is comprehensive, including alternate movements and a questionable work or two. Christiane Jaccottet makes her presence felt as an equal , and the recording still sounds excellent. It's hard to find better performances at any price, so as a "twofer" this is a great bargain. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars simple, not simplistic.......2007-02-09


The musical genius of Bach can be savored in any number of configurations. But you'd be hard pressed to find Bach speaking more exquisitely than via these compositions for violin and keyboard.

From here you cannot even see the outline of the Romantic Period. Rather, the pure, intertwined Baroque simplicity of two instruments instructs the soul that simple does not mean simplistic. Simple can be intricate, fugal, agile, or reflective.

Each of these modes is a format in which Bach and these two interpreters excel.

Then comes Philips with its fabulous 'Duo' series to make it all oh, so affordable.

Simple. Beautiful. Bach.

4 out of 5 stars borderline.......2007-01-25

These CDs are a re-release of recordings made in 1978-80 by the great Arthur Grumiaux,i.e. they were made just prior to the time it became generally accepted that Baroque music should be played in a Baroque style. This makes it a bit difficult to write a review now, as a recording made in the style of the 60s, it is very good, as a " baroque" interpretation, well it isn't one. It is very easy to listen to, and I don't mind too much that there is lots of vibrato, but I don't like the way that it is played as violin sonatas with harpsichord accompaniment, as the main works, BWV 1041 to 1019, are realy trios with the harpsichord's right hand playing the second melody, and its left the bass line. So as a 1978 recording it give it 4. If you are looking for a recording in the baroque style try the version by van Dael & van Asperan on Naxos.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Interpretations.......2001-07-25

I have known this recording for a long time, and it has lost none of its initial appeal. Throughout there is playing which is notable for its poise and effortless beauty. Even though I enjoy and often prefer original instrument performances, the Grumiaux/Jaccottet rendition of these sonatas is my favorite. This reissue on CD is a true bargain.

5 out of 5 stars Purity in quality, sound and execution.......2001-04-18

Grumiaux is one of the greatest violinists from the Old School of Senofsky and others who emphasized not only clarity of technique but also passion of musical opinion. I can't say enough good things about this CD. Grumiaux captures traditional Bach with power and ownership. You can tell that each piece has his "Grumiaux thumbprint." Unliked his other recordings such as the piano trios, this CD has a strong, pure sound and sustains its clarity even when a car stereo is blasting on its highest volume. The purity touches all ages, from my toddler to advanced violin students to even carpoolers never exposed to Bach partitas. This CD also makes a great gift for young kids to adults, to your friends who are music experts. Another must-have that you shouldn't just burn from a friend.

3 out of 5 stars Not Baroque style.......2001-04-05

I was disappointed to hear this CD when I received it, having acted on the highly complimentary reviews I'd read and the competitive pricing. However, the violinist does not use a Baroque style violin and the performance is not in the Baroque style. For example, a good deal of tremolo is used. I note that the original copyright dates are 1979 and 1981.

I suppose the quality of the performance is good, but I'm now so used to hearing Baroque style performances of these sorts of pieces on original style instruments that I can't get past the lack of these things.

I confess to having only listened to the first work. However, nothing indicates that the others would be any different.

    It is so vivid music that my physical reactions has excessed normal catagories known to me induced by any music! as if had been drugged with aphrodisiac.I wish my favourite musician J S Bach could hear these CDs! first the acoustic quality is excellent and the violinist Usula Bundis plays with formidable charm that actually serves me as ultimately perfect model of baroque aestheticism: colourfulness,expressiveness,precision and strickness and virtuosity ,volubility. and the both harpsichord continuo and solo playings are also sensitive,standard but vivid in a moderate sound . there are more presentations of works by Bach and other composers from this ensemble which are good choices and insight into the vague but fabulous & sensible M.A.R.

    The recording of the Bach trio sonatas by the unusually rich combination of Rampal, Stern, Parnas and Ritter reminds us of why Bach has--against storms and tides--survived to enlighten, deepen, settle, and delight us.
