Soulful Weinberg from Sol Gabetta and the BBCSO

Prom 25: Stasevska/ BBCSO

Royal Albert Hall, 6th August 2019

The resurgence of interest in the music of Mieczysław Weinberg continues apace. His harrowing opera The Passenger is becoming more widely appreciated; Gidon Kremer has been banging the Weinberg drum for some time now; and Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla has programmed his music enthusiastically in Birmingham. Sol Gabetta recently joined the ranks, performing his Cello Concerto with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France last year, now bringing it to the BBC Proms for the work’s London premiere.
