"Grumiaux's high reputation has been enhanced by numerous recordings including unaccompanied Bach sonatas, famous sets of Mozart and Beethoven sonatas in partnership with Clara Haskil, Mozart concertos, and Beethoven string trios performed by the ensemble he formed with Georges Janzer (viola) and Eva Czako (cello). His playing combined purity, strength and classical elegance with a disciplined fire." Robert Crichton in Grove Music Online
