Arthur Grumiaux was one of the 20th century's great violinists, and this recording of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor pairs him with the Wiener Symphoniker under conductor Rudolf Moralt. Mendelssohn's concerto is one of the most beloved works in the violin repertoire—a Romantic masterpiece of lyrical beauty and virtuosic brilliance. Grumiaux approaches it with refinement and sincerity, his tone warm and cantabile, his technique flawless. Moralt conducts with sensitivity, giving Grumiaux the space to sing while the orchestra provides sympathetic support. The chemistry between soloist and orchestra is evident throughout. Philips captured everything beautifully, with the violin sitting naturally in the mix. This is a classic interpretation that rewards repeated listening.
