Description
This album presents two poignant works from the 20th-century repertoire: Mieczysław Weinberg's Piano Trio Op. 24 and Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Trio Op. 67. Both composers, contemporaries and friends, shared ideas and navigated the complex cultural landscape of the Soviet Union. Weinberg's trio, composed during a period of intense creativity, is a work of emotional depth and technical sophistication. Shostakovich's trio, written during World War II, is a haunting reflection on the tragedies of the time. The album also includes Alexander Weprik's "Three Folk Dances Op. 13 B," adding a touch of folk-inspired charm. Performed by violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky, cellist David Geringas, and pianist Jascha Nemtsov, this recording offers a compelling interpretation of these significant compositions.
