Label: NAXOS Catalog: 8572320-21 Format: CD Kalinovsky, Grigory; Goncharova, TatianaMieczyslaw Weinberg is now recognized as one of the outstanding Russian composers of the second half of the twentieth century. FĂȘted for his symphonies and string quartets, he also wrote a sequence of Violin Sonatas crucial to the development of his distinctive and elusive musical idiom. Shostakovich's influence is evident in the Third Violin Sonata, as are Jewish melodic elements, while the Fourth Violin Sonata is alternately somebre and hectic. His masterpiece is the Fifth Violin Sonata, symphonic in scale but subtle in form, and containing some of his most affecting writing. Price: $37.98 |
