Concerto pour violon Opus 67 Sonate pour deux violons Opus 69

Description

With 22 symphonies, 17 string quartets, 9 concertos, and 7 operas, Mieczysław Weinberg left behind a considerable body of work. Musically, one can hear the close relationship of the composer with Dmitri Shostakovich, although Weinberg's music is of a more lyrical and romantic nature. Nevertheless, the composer has long been forgotten, and his music has only been rediscovered in the last ten years. Gidon Kremer has dedicated himself to the rediscovery of Weinberg's music.
In February 2020, he performs Weinberg's Violin Concerto Op. 67 with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the musical direction of Daniele Gatti as part of a series of concerts in honor of the composer's 100th anniversary at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig.
