Composer:
Mieczyslaw Weinberg

Artist(s):
Olga Kalugina
Svetlana Nilolayeva

Background: Mieczyslaw Weinberg (1919-1996), the Polish-born composer who spent most of his life in the Soviet Union, was a close friend of Shostakovich, with whose musical language his own has much in common. Weinberg’s vast output includes 26 symphonies, seventeen string quartets and some 200 songs. The three song-cycles recorded here date from across Weinberg’s career. They demonstrate his extraordinary ability to create atmosphere, often from just a handful of notes, and encompass a wide range of emotion, from wartime suffering, through playfulness and protest, to maternal love.
