Bach is not idiomatic keyboard music, but an imitation of voices, instruments, or ensembles. - Ralph Kirkpatrick

Grumiaux with Bach Sonatas and Partitas
Another performance of Bach's works for solo violin.
This is a very special performance, by a favorite violinist. It is one of the two recordings of this work I mark "Best Performance." It was made in 1960-1961 and released on CD in 1994.
Review of a new release in January 2006 which includes 2 of the 6 violin and harpsichord sonatas.
Short biography of Arthur Grumiaux.
