Szymon Krzeszowiec; Bartlomiej Niziol; Elzbieta Mrozek-Loska; Adam Krzeszowiec - Mieczyslaw Wajnberg: String Music

Violinists Szymon Krzeszowiec and Bartlomiej Niziol, violist Elzbieta Mrozek-Loska and cellist Adam Krzeszowiec selected chamber works by Mieczyslaw Wajnberg for the program of their latest album. The disc includes two Sonatas (for Violin Solo and for Two Violins) and world premiere recording of the complete four-movement version of the Trio for Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 48. All the works contained on this album were composed in Moscow or its environs and premiered there. One might almost say it was a testament to the vitality of Russian musical culture, except that neither the composer nor any of his 'creative inspirers' were Russian. Weinberg was a Pole and a Jew, a refugee from Warsaw. The violinists were Jews from Ukraine, primarily connected with the city of Odessa, where Weinberg's father had worked as a violinist at a theatre many years before. Danuta Gwizdalanka transl.
