Violinist Arthur Grimiaux, accompanied by pianist Istvan Hajdu, plays his best-loved encores including works by Mozart, Gluck, Granados, Vivaldi, Beethoven, and more for the first volume of the 2 part series.

"The good Arthur Grumiaux was in a very sentimental mood when he chose the twenty-nine works for this pair of discs. The prevailing pace is andante, the prevailing mood one of heavy sweetness... a Mozart Rondo is bright, articulate, and well planned : Granados' Danza espanola N° 5 (Andaluza) is warm and compelling, with its minor major cadence as magical as ever : Kreisler's Schon Rosmarin is beguiling". - High Fidelity
