More Info

Mieczyslaw Weinberg has emerged at last as one of the leading Soviet composers of the post-Shostakovich generation, following decades of almost scandalous neglect in the music world. This prolific composer’s works retain the unabashed post-romantic candor of Shostakovich, but evolved in a unique and inimitable style as his career progressed.

For the first time, three world premiere recordings featuring the composer himself and several of his closest colleagues are available together on one disc: Weinberg teams with the Borodin Quartet in a recording of his Piano Quintet, and with David Oistrakh in the first recording of his colorful (and inexplicably near-unknown) Moldavian Rhapsody., Leonid Kogan, another giant of Soviet-era music, is the soloist in Weinberg’s G Minor Violin Concerto, performed here with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Krill Kondrashin.

All of the recordings have been newly remastered.
