16 Francs 1996 - Arthur Grumiaux
Added by Bart Perdieus
General Description : Arthur Grumiaux (21 March 1921–16 October 1986) was a Belgian violinist who was also proficient in piano.
His playing often brought comparisons to another great Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe and also to Pablo de Sarasate of Spain. His reputation and renown among violinists themselves was such that his legacy is felt by hearing elements of his unmistakable style and standards present in several new generations of violinists.
Grumiaux's successful performance career led up to royal recognition, and in 1973 he was knighted baron by King Baudouin for his services to music.
