“My opinion may be biased based on my fondness for this composer’s music, but I believe these two works for Cello and Orchestra should command the same support and attention as Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei and the Cello Concertos by Dvorak and Elgar. Due to the tragic misfortunes and hardships that Mieczyslaw Weinberg endured throughout his life, there’s a genuine intensity within his music that always comes to the surface and pulls you in. Once you’ve heard the final notes of the Concerto you will know what I mean.” (Jean-Yves Duperron, classicalmusicsentinel.com)
