| |  | Ernst - Violin Music
Ilya Gringolts (violin), Ashley Wass (piano) As virtuoso violinist, the Moravian Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst was a legend in his own lifetime. He died before the era of sound-recording, and his personal wizardry and magnetism can only dimly be recaptured in the written testimony of his contemporaries. Yet to a significant extent it lives on in his own works for his instrument: for he was a composer who significantly extended the boundaries and meaning of bravura technique. Unfortunately Ernst has long been the preserve of violin specialists only—unjustly, considering his quality as a musical thinker. As a composer Ernst combined the reckless virtuosity of Paganini and Liszt with a sure instinct for musical substance, putting transcendent violin technique at the service of something more than mere display.
The brilliant Russian violinist Ilya Gringolts, acclaimed for his technical brilliance and inspired interpretations of a range of repertoire, is the ideal performer of these dazzlingly difficult works. He has made many distinguished recordings for Deutsche Grammophon and BIS; this is his first recording for Hyperion. He is partnered by fellow former BBC New Generation Artist Ashley Wass. Ilya Gringolts once again stakes his claim to stand alongside the best of the new batch of violinists with his deeply involved and irresistibly involving playing here. He is actually standing alongside the fast-rising pianist Ashley Wass, who proves an able foil. - Gramophone Magazine “The Erlkönig Caprice and 'The Last Rose of Summer Variations' (last of the Polyphonic Studies) stretch violin technique to its very limits. Ilya Gringolts surmounts each hurdle with the brilliance and confidence of an Olympic champion.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 **** “The highlight of the disc, however, is surely the Six Studies. Gringolts's technical command, beautiful intonation and exciting, deep involvement with the music make for a great listening experience.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
