FANTASTIC REVIEWS FOR NEW ONYX RELEASE
Schumann Violin Sonatas 1-3!
Sunday Times 4th July 2010 Classical CD of the Week ****
‘they (Gringolts and Laul)have an intimate rapport and innate feeling for the undemonstrative yet deeply emotional content of this glorious music, providing three of the most live-withable accounts of these masterpieces in recent recording history’.
Daily Telegraph 3rd July 2010 ****
‘Gringolts and Laul show the music is charged with passion, as id the D minor Sonata with its forceful opening, yearning introspection and robust scherzo. Schumann's F-A-E Sonata is not a patch on the D minor, but Gringolts and Laul at least embrace its strangeness with flair’
Guardian 2nd July 2010
‘Ilya Gringolt's dark, smoky violin tone suits the introspection of the three works perfectly’
