Mieczyslaw Weinberg - Weinberg Plays Weinberg: Piano Quintet /Moldavian Rhapsody / VC CON Condition:New dealing with themes of love"the Piano Quintet does full justice to the densely packed chords and widely spaced spread of sound which Weinberg avowedly learnt from his mentor Shostakovich. It is engaging, expertly written and played with great address by the composer himself To survive so much terror and retain such creative energy compels admiration. The Quintet may seem more rewarding for the surprising range of invention (eg. Wild Irish fiddle). The performance is admirable.
