Concertos

Firma Melodiya presents an album of Moisey Weinbergs instrumental concertos interpreted by the distinguished domestic performers. A symphonist by nature, Weinberg devoted much attention to the genre of concerto. The album features the composers most significant works in the area. The second edition of his large-scale Cello Concerto (1956) was performed for the first time by the legendary Mstislav Rostropovich. The Violin Concerto (1959), a sharply dramatic and at the same time full of virtuosic lustre, was dedicated to the prominent violinist Leonid Kogan. The Concerto for Flute and String Orchestra (1961) was written for the flutist Alexander Korneyev and the first ever Soviet chamber ensemble the Moscow Chamber Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Barshai. The recordings of Moisey Weinbergs concertos were made in 1961 to 1968.
