Working amidst political and private setbacks, Mieczysław Weinberg (1919–96) flourished as a composer, admired by Shostakovich and championed by the main Soviet musicians of the day. His demise in Moscow in 1996, nevertheless, went largely unnoticed. Extra fortunately, his intensive catalogue has lately secured an growing variety of performances and recordings, witness this Naxos launch of his full music for cello and orchestra, works written largely in the course of the earlier a part of his maturity. Raymond Bisha introduces the Cello Concertino, the Cello Concerto, and the Fantasia for Cello and Orchestra.
