Notes

Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s Eighteenth Symphony is the centrepiece of his symphonic trilogy On the Threshold of War, which focusses on the traumas of the Soviet Union in World War II and stands as one of the most significant creations of his later years. Using texts by important Soviet poets, the work reflects on war with eloquent expressive power. The Trumpet Concerto is amongst Weinberg’s most substantial and diverse works from the 1960s. Ranging in effects from pointillist modernism to the grotesque and sardonic, it was described by Shostakovich as a ‘symphony for trumpet and orchestra’.

Reviews

Vladimir Lande and the St petersburg State symphonywith the St Petersburg State Symphony with the St Petersburg Chamber Choir here maintain the standard od their previous Weinberg recordings, which is to say that the septh of sound and the dramic intensity of their Soviet counterparts are rarely matched David Fanning - Gramophone magazine - August 2014

"The performances in both works are top-notch. Trumpeter Andrew Balio plays with incredible feeling and technical skills, and the orchestra in both works delivers excellent work under the masterful leadership of Vladimir Lande. The St Petersburg Chamber Choir and the four vocal soloists sing splendidly in the symphony as well. The Naxos sound reproduction is vivid and powerful. Strongly recommended—and I anxiously await the next issue in this marvelous series. Robert Cummings - Classical Net -July 2014

Performances (Trumpet Concerto) **** (Symphony No 18) *** Recording **** The present performance [of the Trumpet Concerto] boasts a compelling contribution from Andrew Balio, who revels in the witticisms of the Finale while also encapsulating the darker undertones of the wistful central movement. The St Petersburg State Symphony offers strong support" Erik Levi - BBC Music Magazine - June 2014

" another major addition to the Weinberg discography, and it can be recommended without hesitation. Martin Anderson - International Record Review - July/August 2014
