Little known in the West and victim of anti-Semitic ostracism in the former USSR, the name of Weinberg seems to be slowly emerging from the shadow of Shostakovich, his protector and friend. His chamber music includes 17 quartets, the most experimental body of his work along with his cello sonatas, written with Rostropovich in mind. Ongoing collections of his works are now appearing:Toccata's song cycle, a symphony cycle on Bis and a string quartet cycle for CPO, all of which have been enthusiastically received.
