The Whole Note‘s Terry Robbins reviews Ilya Gringolts and Dmitry Kouzov’s Eisler, Ravel, Widmann Duos album in their December 2019 issue:
“The central work on the disc is the two-volume 24 Duos for Violin and Cello from 2008 by the German composer Jörg Widmann. … the double stopping and special effects present technical difficulties that bring brilliant playing from Gringolts and Kouzov in music that is challenging but always interesting. With Widmann himself saying “Sensational!!! You understand every fibre of my music” about the performances, these world-premiere recordings can be considered definitive. A fine reading of Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello from 1922 completes a fine CD.”
