RECORDING INFORMATION Recorded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland 1981/4 (K./KV 301, 376, 454); 1981/5 (K./KV 302, 304, 526);1981/9 (K./KV 305, 360, 377); 1982/5 (K./KV 296, 303, 378);1982/9 (K./KV 379, 380); 1983/9 (K./KV 306, 481). Arthur Grumiaux and Walter Klien offer playing with spring in its step and a lyrical yet unsentimental warmth in the slow movements, though that of K296 might with advantage have lingered a little more. These are stylish artists who are also eloquent in the unusually wistful Andante con moto of K380... Perhaps a touchstone for Grumiaux's qualities is the great slow movement of K454, where he is sensitive to the extraordinary harmonic design and yet over-reliant on the same tricks of tone-colour to project it. - The Gramophone Magazine
