ECHO classical music winner Olga Scheps and the Kuss Quartet are convincingly committed to the piano quintet of Mieczyslaw Weinberg, whose 100th birthday will be celebrated in December 2019. In recent years, Mieczyslaw Weinberg has received the attention due to the long-unknown Soviet composer, who lived from 1919 to 1996 – with performances of his operas at renowned festivals and the inclusion of his instrumental works in the repertoire. A central composition is his piano quintet, which was composed in Moscow in 1944, during the Second World War. Weinberg was a close friend of Dmitri Shostakovich, but this sometimes proved to be a career hindrance, as he was perceived as a kind of Shostakovich in miniature
Olga Scheps, ECHO Klassik winner and the renowned Kuss Quartet have long been committed to Weinberg’s unjustly neglected oeuvre – and this commitment also characterizes her passionate, almost relentlessly urging interpretation, which adequately confirms the singular rank of this work.
