Description
This album Weinberg Sonatas for Violin and Piano was created on the initiative of violinist Michal Kowalczyk and pianists Dagmara Niedziela and Mateusz Rozek.
The focus of the artists' interpretative vision is the multidimensionality of the composer's sound language, resulting from both the composer's tragic life experiences and him being rooted in three different cultural traditions. Each of the sonatas featured on the album seems to fully resonate with the events that were accompanying its creation in terms of emotional expression. The recorded works, although they have just begun to make a regular appearance in concert programmes, are undoubtedly a staple of the 20th-century chamber music.
"Responsible for a number of pioneering Weinberg recordings in recent years, DUX's new release revives three of the six violin sonatas. This powerfully wrought, emotionally intense music is major repertory material, comparable with Shostakovich or Prokofiev, if not occasionally better." – International Piano
