St Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Lande Weinberg is increasingly recognised as one of the outstanding composers of the second half of the twentieth century. His Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes is a concise medley of tunes that embrace folk influence, both melancholic and high spirited, culminating in a joyous and unstoppable dance. Scored for a very large orchestra and a children’s choir, Symphony No. 6 is a work of huge expression, anguished and dynamic, encompassing lament, circus gallops, burlesque, and a cataclysmic and heartrending slow movement. Weinberg’s friend, Shostakovich, was so impressed that he used it as teaching material in his own classes. “No possible reason to hesitate...you will find much to reward you here” International Record Review, May 2012 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
