Title: Not very recommended - past was better
Review: Here is a second CD by two young Russian violinists, Ilya Gringolts and Alexandr Bulov. Their first CD was very good, with wonderful playing, interesting repertoirs, and exceptional sound quality by BIS. However, their second CD gives me some doubts. First of all, the choice of works on this CD is rather dull. Secondly, regarding Mr. Gringolts' and Mr. Bulov's violin playing itself - it has downgraded compared to the last CD they made, and it is quite a disappointment.Mr. Gringolts and Mr. Bulov are still under 20's, and one would obviously expect their playing would get better and better as the time goes. At least one would think it should stay at the same level, same caliber. However, it is not the case with this CD. Good work, but still, I look forward to hearing more about them and their future routes.
