Format: CD

Announcing a Major Musical Discovery! A romantic piano concerto, lost for more than half a century, is brought to life in this world premiere recording! Weinberg's dazzling virtuoso second piano concerto, inspired by the dream of a Jewish national home in the Land of Israel, incorporates familiar synagogue tunes as well as a stirring folk melody made famous by the early Zionist pioneers. This is a wonderful and immediately appealing addition to the piano concerto repertoire. Further showcasing Weinberg's mastery are premiere recordings of his String Quartet op. 55 and Shabbat Ba'aretz (Sabbath in the Holy Land). Rediscover the music of one of the 20th century's most engaging romantic composers.
