| Konzert fur Violoncello und Orchester Op. 43 | Mieczysław Weinberg (1919 - 1996) |
| I. Adagio II. Moderato | |
| Marcus Ho, Cello | |
| Rhodri Clarke, piano | |
| Weinberg’s Cello Concerto is one of those products of the time of the Soviet Union’s 1948 anti-formalism campaign that went into the composer’s desk drawer, in this case only to emerge in 1957, four years after the death of Stalin. It’s a folkloric work rippled with Jewish themes, a first movement anticipating the motif of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto and a second movement that anticipates Fiddler on the Roof. In the thick of Soviet antisemitism, Weinberg shouted out his Jewishness. | |
