Mozart ① Violin Sonata No. 42 in A Major, K. 526 ② Violin Sonata No. 29 in A Major, K. 305 ③ Violin Sonata No. 35 in G Major, K. 379 ④ Violin Sonata No. 25 in G Major, K. 301 Arthur Grumiaux (Violin) Walter Klien (Piano) Recorded: 1981-1982, Switzerland This collection of Mozart sonatas was Grumiaux's last and only digital recording, and one of his specialties. With Walter Klien, the renowned Austrian pianist also known for his Mozart performances, as his partner, they deliver to the listener a blissful time, based on an orthodox sense of style, celebrating the joy of "making music." This is one of Grumiaux's irreplaceable legacies that should be passed on to future generations. These four recordings are all that exist of Mozart performed by this duo. All the major pieces you want to hear are included. This is an album that makes you understand that the so-called beautiful sound is, for example, the tone that Grumiaux produces. It's fresh and flowing, like a clear stream winding through the mountains. Perfect for Mozart. Walter Klien, a great accompanist, also supports the melody with a soft and accurate touch. There is no violinist more suited to playing Mozart than Grumiaux. The rhythm is neat and the phrasing is flowing. In their performance, Grumiaux plays freely and brings out the best, while Klien is somewhat restrained. As written in Hidekazu Yoshida's "Mozart on Record," it is indeed a good performance. This well-balanced performance by the two, with a mix of passion, intellect, and a little resignation, is undoubtedly a timeless masterpiece. It's music that makes you feel very calm and forget the unpleasant things in your head. It's really pleasant and comfortable to listen to. After all, a genius is different. How about the profound melodies, as if guided by inspiration from the god of music? It's perfect for background music, but it's also high-level music that's enough to immerse yourself in the sound world by listening intently.
