However, there is another orchestral arrangement of that quintet by Mathias Baier, recorded by Elisaveta Blumina and the Georgian Chamber Orchestra, which I find quite effective. I agree with the other reviewer here that the Kremerata Baltica performances are also very powerful but could have been better recorded their orchestral arrangement of the Piano Quintet does nothing to displace the original for me. 2 and 4 at least (where the composer’s name is given as Wajnberg, phonetically correct in Polish perhaps). For starters, I would certainly recommend to anybody either (or both) of his violin recordings of the irresistible Moldavian Rhapsody in both the piano and orchestra accompanied versions.įor the Chamber Symphonies, the East-West Chamber Orchestra CD is indeed wonderful, though I marginally prefer the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio in Nos.
I already own violinist Linus Roth’s CD reviewed here, along with his other Weinberg recordings, and they are all excellent and reward repeated listenings. The Berlin Philharmonic programmed the concerto last month … lucky Berlin! Petersburg Symphony for Naxos, is unable to get his own orchestra to program that concerto, or anything else by Weinberg for that matter. If only we could get more live Weinberg performances here in the USA! Even the trumpeter for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, who recorded the Trumpet Concerto with the St. All of this music is worth getting to know better (and that includes the sonata for two violins, not mentioned).
“Unstoppable master of intimated emotion” sums it up beautifully. Thanks very much for calling attention to these two recent Weinberg CDs.
