[Haskill, Clara. (1895 - 1960) ] Grumiaux, Arthur. (1921-1986). Signed Photograph. Signed halftone photograph of the masterful Belgian violinist, who has signed boldly in blue ink to the cover of a memorial concert program honoring the great pianist Clara Haskil, the cover of which depicts them together. Printed concert program from a performance given 10 years to the day from her death, 7 December, 1970. 3 pp, signed additionally to the program listing page by the other performers: Koji Toyoda, Georges Janzer, Gerard Ruyman, Eva Czako, and Esther Nyffenegger. Central horizontal crease, else fine. Grumiaux is very rare in signed photographs, this is a particularly interesting example. 8.5 x 11.75 inches; 21 x 30 cm.
Grumiaux is considered by some to have been "one of the few truly great violin virtuosi of the twentieth century". He has been noted for having a "consistently beautiful tone and flawless intonation". English music critic and broadcaster, Edward Greenfield wrote of him that he was "a master virtuoso who consistently refused to make a show of his technical prowess". He was also a pianist and during concerts, he and Haskil would occasionally switch instruments!
