Lande, Vladimir

Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s 26 symphonies are seen today as a substantial continuation of the Russian tradition. Symphony No 19 marks ‘Bright May’ as the month in which the Great Patriotic War came to an end, but expressed with ominous apprehension as well as celebration. The Banners of Peace subsumes traditional and revolutionary songs to create an extrovert work which avoids the bombast of propaganda. Gramophone has acclaimed the ‘understanding and fervour’ of Vladimir Lande’s ‘greatly superior’ conducting of Weinberg’s Symphony No 6 (NX 2779).

"...The performances and sound are excellent..."

Roger Hecht - American Record Guide - March/April 2013

"The opening perfunctory declamation, with its cold, stoic and “official” countenance, quickly makes way for some very expressive and poignant writing by Weinberg, as if holding back the tears of desperation behind the facade of joy. All the material of the first segment of the work, as all three movements flow seamlessly from one to the next, will serve the whole symphony very well, and bind it together.At the present time, this seems to be the only available recording of Weinberg’s No. 19. If you are always on the lookout for new, unchartered music to listen to and add to your collection, you can’t really do much better than this..."
