About

Since his death in 1996, the music of Mieczysław Weinberg has been discovered by musicians and listeners all around the world. He had a remarkable life story. Born in Warsaw in 1919, his early musical experiences were as pianist and ensemble leader at a Jewish theatre where his father was composer and violinist. In 1939 he fled before the Nazis, ending up in Moscow where he lived for the rest of his life.

His vast output includes 26 symphonies, seven operas, seventeen string quartets and much other chamber music, plus some 200 songs.

His style has much in common with Shostakovich: fluent contrapuntal skill, an acute sense of drama and a keen feeling for melody, often inflected with Jewish cantilena.

Moscow-born violinist Yuri Kalnits studied at the Gnessin Institute and moved to London to study at the Royal College of Music. There he met Cs疣yi-Wills, who also composes and works as a recording producer for Toccata Classics, among other labels.
