Arthur Grumiaux - J.S. Bach: Violin Concertos [1st press] (1987)

As many readers know, although Bach composed a number of violin concertos (and for other melody instruments), mostly during his years in Coethen (approximately 1717-1723), with respect to violin concertos, only the three represented here remain in their original form (Violin Concerto in A minor, BMV 1041; Violin Concerto in E major, BMV 1042; and the Double Violin Concerto in D Minor, BMV 1043). (The concerto for flute, violin and harpsichord in A minor, BMV 1044, not included here, also remains in its original form). The remainder of Bach's violin concertos are reconstructured from his harpsichord concertos to approximate what is believed to be their original form (all but one Bach's harpsichord concertos had originally been composed for melody instruments, such as the violin, and were later reconfigured by Bach into harpsichord concertos). In addition to the aforementioned three violin concertos, this disc also contains the concerto for violin and oboe in D minor (reconstructed from the Double Harpsichord Concerto, BMV 1060).
I cannot speak more highly of these performances. They are the best performances of these pieces I have heard, and I own the fine period performance sets by Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert (featuring Simon Standage) and by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, respectively. Although those performances are wonderful, this one is better. What truly sets this set apart is the absolutely wonderful playing of Arthur Grumiaux. He achieves such beautiful tone on the violin. The A Minor Concerto and the E Major Concerto are terrific performances. The Double Concerto in D Minor, with Hermann Krebbers on second violin, is absolutely stellar. The first movement will knock your socks off, and the second movement is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Grumiaux and Krebbers just sing to one another; it is simply moving.
