Two classics and Weinberg's Sinfonietta
Decades before the Shoah, Mieczysław Weinberg's family had already been
violently decimated by anti-Semitic pogroms. Weinberg's father Shmuel,
mother and sister were murdered by the National Socialists. This was
followed by anti-Semitic reprisals in Russia. The shocks that pervade
Weinberg's biography can be heard in many of his musical works,
including his Sinfonietta No. 1 op. 41: after a penetrating tremor of
the entire orchestra, an activating motif emerges from trills that
inimitably grips us and, above all, makes us listen! In addition to this
work, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Julian Rachlin,
performs two classics: Peter Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony and Max Bruch's
Violin Concerto in G minor, which is one of the most popular Romantic
works in this genre. Violinist Nikita Boris-Glebsky will perform solo.
