Mieczyslaw Weinberg: Piano Quintet, Op. 18 by Olga Scheps & Kuss Quartett

Echo-Klassik Award winning young pianist Olga Scheps and one of the best chamber music ensembles in Germany, the Kuss Quartett, have recorded Mieczyslaw Weinbergs Piano Quintet Op.18. Mieczyslaw Weinberg (1919-1996) is one of the most important Russian composers who has been overlooked in Western music culture for decades and has been rediscovered in recent years. Weinberg has an interesting and moving biography that is reflected in his work; this year the composer would have turned 100 years old.
