MIECZYSLAW WEINBERG (1919-1996)

String Quartets Vol. 1

 

String Quartet No. 4 Op. 20

String Quartet No. 16 Op. 130

 

Quatuor Danel

 

Weinberg composed string quartets throughout his life. While the Shostakovich cycle today forms part of the standard repertoire, the Weinberg cycle has been sadly neglected.

 

This outstanding new recording featuring the Quatuor Danel should go some way to reaffirming Weinberg’s place in the pantheon of great twentieth-century composers.
