Following the performance of all six Mozart string quintets at the Heidelberg Spring Festival, Ilya Gringolts explained to us what attracts him to historical instruments and why the Gringolts Quartet will continue to play on gut strings more frequently in the future.
Passionate, intense, balanced, multi-faceted, intimate: the Brahms CD by the Gringolts Quartet, released in June, was chosen by BBC Music Magazine as Recording of the Month.
The new CD by the Gringolts Quartet received outstanding reviews and was awarded a Diapason d'or.
In the FAZ, Ilya Gringolts is portrayed as a musician with enormous stylistic range and unwavering integrity.
