‘The late Arthur Grumiaux is reserved, stylish, infallible in technique, and also ready at moments to lift the heart of a listener by some magical turn of phrase, or by a momentary fall of light on his most beautiful tone.’ (Saint Saëns) Gramophone
‘Grumiaux is […] classical in style: unhurried, with carefully shaped phrasing; and, as always, with his marvellous tone showing everything at its best’ Gramophone
‘Everyone’s fortunate to have these recordings available’ Fanfare
‘Eloquence have another well-filled winning bargain on their hands’ MusicWeb
‘The Violin Concerto No. 3 by Saint-Saëns is a work that comes magnificently to life in the skilled hands of Grumiaux’
