Classics Today:
Arthur Grumiaux's Mozart performances glowed, but his interpretations were always free of artifice and affectation, making his survey of the five violin concertos (it's seldom been out of the catalog) a prime contender even now. .. Their high quality is exemplified by the effortlessly graceful transition achieved in the sometimes unforgiving finale of K. 218. It's one of many passages that sort out the leaders from the also-rans, and with Grumiaux everything is perfectly balanced and controlled, so the shift from Andante to Allegro seems completely natural. In another example, there's tremendous sweep and power, but no loss of Classical poise in the much broader opening movement of Concerto No. 5 K. 219.

Gramophone:
These performances of the five standard violin concertos, the Sinfonia concertante and a couple of other pieces were admired when they came out on LP, and still earn praise for their crispness, lightness and eloquence. Grumiaux was also fortunate in his partner in the Sinfonia concertante, for Pelliccia is also an expert Mozartian and they give a performance of this beautiful piece that is expressive but still avoids self-indulgent romanticism. In the solo concertos, too, Grumiaux plays cadenzas that Suit the music in length and style.
