Violinist Arthur Grumiaux performs 12 Fantaisa for Violin Solo by Telemann.
For this recording from 1970, violinist Arthur Grumiaux chose the 12 Fantasies for Solo Violin by Georg Philipp Telemann. He presents the demanding works with his usual perfection and captivates the listener's attention.
The remaster for this 180-gram LP with 33 rpm was done by Rainer Maillard at the Emil Berliner Studios. The pressing was made at Pallas in Diepholz.
"Telemann's invention is fresh and his idiom varied and I often felt while listening to these pieces that they offered more of interest to the performer than his violin concertos... For the most part Grumiaux plays the Fantasies with the sympathy and insight which we expect. Purists will be bothered from time to time by the presence of a vibrato which would have no place in a strictly ‘baroque’ performance; just occasionally, too, I was aware of an awkwardness of phrasing and of insecure intonation but these did not prevent me from enjoying a recital of some less familiar music by a composer who is a great favourite of mine. A most interesting release." - Gramophone
