Violinists Szymon Krzeszowiec and Bartłomiej Nizioł, violist Elżbieta Mrożek Loska and cellist Adam Krzeszowiec selected chamber works by Mieczysław Wajnberg for the program of their latest album. The disc includes two Sonatas (for Violin Solo and for Two Violins) and world premiere recording of the complete four-movement version of the Trio for Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 48.

“All the works contained on this album were composed in Moscow or its environs and premiered there. One might almost say it was a testament to the vitality of Russian musical culture, except that neither the composer nor any of his ‘creative inspirers’ were Russian. Weinberg was a Pole and a Jew, a refugee from Warsaw. The violinists were Jews from Ukraine, primarily connected with the city of Odessa, where Weinberg’s father had worked as a violinist at a theatre many years before.” Danuta Gwizdalanka transl.
