About

Gringolts Quartet’s debut recording on Orchid Classics follows on from Ilya Gringolts’ very successful recording ofPaganini’s Caprices (ORC100039) which was a Gramophone Editor’s Choice.

Their previous recording (of Schumann’s complete string quartets / piano quintet) was exceptionally well-received.

Awards and reviews

September 2014

There's so much sensitive give and take between the four instruments here, so much intimacy and subtle variation of colour, that the feeling is that these are Romantic chamber gems comparable with Schumann's three Quartets.

August 2014

These highly accomplished players achieve a near-perfect blend of sound, effortless precision and unanimity of style. The slow movements of the quartets are notable for their beautiful sonorities.
