About

The East-West Chamber Orchestra is the resident orchestra of the Yuri Bashmet International Music Festival and is made up of concertmasters from leading orchestras and competition laureates. On this, their debut recording, they celebrate the centenary of Mieczysław Weinberg’s birth. Weinberg’s Chamber Symphonies reflect his creativity and the dramatic times in which he lived – the formal lucidity and directness of the First and the elegiac Third – both derived from string quartets composed in the shadow of the Second World War.

Mieczysław Weinberg’s music was for a long time hardly known in the West, but recent years have seen it receiving a strong renaissance both in concert halls and on recordings. Naxos has played its part in this revival, and this new recording of two of the four Chamber Symphonies joins an ongoing edition of Weinberg’s symphonies, of which the 17th Symphony ‘ranks as one of the finest in Naxos’ admirable contributions to Weinberg’s recorded symphonic oeuvre’ (Gramophone on 8573565).
