Info for Mieczysław Weinberg: Cello Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2, Solo Cello Sonata No. 1 & String Trio (Remastered)

Little known in the West and victim of anti-Semitic ostracism in the former USSR, the name of Mieczysław Weinberg, the third great “Russian” composer of the 20th century, after Prokofiev and Shostakovich, seems to be slowly emerging from the shadow of the latter, his protector and friend. Far from being an epigone, he is rather, by his temperament as a symphonist and the importance of his chamber music, the spiritual heir. This part of his vast catalogue, not written to put food on the table, includes 17 quartets, the most experimental body of his work along with his sonatas, those for cello, written with Rostropovich in mind, being henceforth consecrated.
