Weinberg / Kalnits / Yuzefovich- V4: Complete Works (CD)
In the past twenty years the Polish-born, Moscow-based Mieczyslaw Weinberg (1919-96) has been recognized as one of the major voices in twentieth-century music, equivalent in stature to his close friend Dmitry Shostakovich. This fourth and final volume of his music for solo violin, violin and piano and two violins completes the only survey to take all of these works into account. It presents music ranging from a startingly assured early score by the teenage Weinberg to works in which his personality is fully established and instantly recognizable.
