Musicians performing Weinberg

To quote the violist Viacheslav Dinerchtein, Can a true work of art – here, a piece of music – rely on its own merits to find its place? For as much as we wish it were otherwise, the answer seems to be ‘No, it cannot. Not until the work in question is experienced by others’, and even the Picasso signature – here, Weinberg's blooming recognition – is helpless for as long as the score is lying on the shelf. Great music being performed with talent, insight and humility, by a single musician or a group of musicians, is always something special. Since its rediscovery in recent years, an increasing number of musicians all over the world have begun to champion and perform Weinberg's music. Some examples (in no particular order) include:

• In Latvia, Gidon Kremer and the chamber ensemble Kremerata Baltica.
• In the UK, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO); Raphael Wallfisch; and Yuri Kalnits.
• In Poland, Anna Duczmal-Mróz along with the Polish Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio; and the Silesian Quartet.
• In Belgium and Switzerland, Quatuor Danel and Sol Gabetta, respectively.
• In Germany, Thomas Sanderling and Linus Roth.
• In Russia, Vladimir Lande with the Siberian State Symphony Orchestra and Dmitry Vasiliev with the Siberian Symphony Orchestra.
• In Canada, the Canadian Artists of the Royal Conservatory (ARC) Ensemble.
• Among many other wonderful soloists, chamber ensembles, conductors and orchestras, who are allowing Weinberg's music to be heard and appreciated in concerts and recordings.
