Mieczysław Weinberg flourished as a composer despite working amidst political and personal setbacks. He gained the admiration of Shostakovich, and was championed by the leading Soviet musicians of the day. The soulful Cello Concertino with its Yiddish overtones and melodic eloquence was discovered posthumously, and is effectively a preliminary version of the more elaborate and intense Cello Concerto. The potent Romantic nature of the Concerto has made this one of Weinberg’s most performed large-scale pieces. The Fantasia is an appealing early work – expressive and spontaneous.

“My opinion may be biased based on my fondness for this composer’s music, but I believe these two works for Cello and Orchestra should command the same support and attention as Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei and the Cello Concertos by Dvorak and Elgar. Due to the tragic misfortunes and hardships that Mieczyslaw Weinberg endured throughout his life, there’s a genuine intensity within his music that always comes to the surface and pulls you in. Once you’ve heard the final notes of the Concerto you will know what I mean.” (Jean-Yves Duperron, classicalmusicsentinel.com)
