5.0 out of 5 stars Grumiaux's the man!, October 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mozart: String Quintets (Audio CD)
Sometimes I prefer Mozart's chamber music to all of his other music, but I always prefer Grumiaux. You don't want to buy the String Quintets by any old ensemble, no no... I think it will be quite some time before we hear these pieces played as well. I also love Grumiaux's handling of the Violin & Viola Duos. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This set is essential, September 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mozart: String Quintets (Audio CD)
The string quintets are without a doubt masterworks, and Grumiaux et al. show how they're supposed to be played for all time. Amen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touch of the Master's Hand, February 27, 2001
This review is from: Mozart: String Quintets (Audio CD)
Being a young musician tackling the c minor quintet in my senior year of high school, you always search for recordings of the masters to hear their interpretations of certain pieces. By an act of the supernatural, I stumbled across this one. Sheer excellence, wonderful phrasing, and awesome lyricism filled the studio when there musicians got together. The chemistry that was between them is definately felt as you listen to these quintets. I am not a big Mozart fan but these quintets are some of his finest works next to his sacred works. Grumiaux was a wonderful violinist and interpreter of the masters. This recording gave me and my quintet wonderful insight and tons of inspiration as to how these pieces should be played. Truly, those pieces were touched by the hands of the masters as they performed and recorded these works.
