How is the balance, though? I once owned a recording of the Grumiaux Bach
sonatas for violin and keyboard, and although I have forgotten the keyboard
player, I can tell you the balance was terrible. It ought to sound like a
trio. It sounded like a violin solo with a distant accompaniment. Sure
the violin playing was great. After all, it WAS Grumiaux.
