- Sol Gabetta and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France,conducted by Mikko Franck, perform the Cello in d minor op.43 composed in 1958 by Mieczyslaw Weinberg (1919-1996). Excerpt from the concert recorded on 21 décembre 2018, live from de Radio France Auditorium.
Mieczyslaw Weinberg is a relatively little-known composer whose fate was intertwined with the tragic events of the 20th century. Born in Warsaw in 1919, Weinberg studied the piani with his father before joining the conservatoire. He was twenty years old when Poland was invaded and his entire family killed. The only survivor, he sought refuge in Belarus and moved to Minsk, where he studied composition with Vassili Zolotarev. When the Nazis eventually invaded the USSR, he fled yet again and moved this time to Tachkent, in Uzbekistan. Having caught the attention of Shostakovitch, he moved to Moscow in 1943 but was arrested in 1953, by order of Stalin himself, for suppsed sionist activities; the death of the dictator only a few weeks later facilitated his release.
The end of the 1950s marked the beginning of a growing recognition, aided by the help of Shostakovitch. Though his music was performed by many of the greatest Russian musicians, his final years were marked by growing confusion and material difficulties. He died alone and desperate, having converted to Christianity in extremis shortly before his death. Seven operas, twenty two symhponies, and seventeen string quartets are part of an immense catalogue of works whose abundance is comparable to that of Darius Milhaud, even if Weinberg only assigned an opus number to barely a third of his compositions.
His opera, The Passanger, completed in 1968 but premiered posthumously in 2006, has since been staged throughout the world. It tells the story of an old female Nazi jailer who believes to have recognised, on a boat, a prisoner from Auschwitz.
Weinberg is also the composer of countless works of chamber music. It is said that for over thirty years Shostakovitch and Weinberg exchanged works in order to provide feedback on each other's music. It would, however, be unfair to consider Weinberg imitator: his music is also the result of influences from central European composers (Mahler, Bartok), but also the music of other Russian composers (Prokofiev), and even Jewish traditions.
Weinberg composed seven concertos, including a Cello Concerto premiered in 1957 by Mstislav Rostropovitch and recorded seven years later, again by Rostropovitch and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Kirill Kondrachine. The work, in four movements, is of a meditative colour, sombre and tense, with an orchestra strangely deprived of its oboe and bassoons but afforded a bass trombone, which strengthens its menacing character. The solo cello opens the work with a dark and painful melody. The music grows gradually, then La musique prend peu à peu son essor, before falling yet again into a sense of despondency. The second movement, vehement and angry, is followed by an Allegro with an air of false joy on the brink of madness; several extremely high notes from the cello testify to the bitterness of Weinberg's music, with a hammering orchestra, reminiscent of Béla Bartók. The cadenza is in fact a moment of meditation before a final hectic Allegro, this time evoking the orchestral music of Shostakovitch.

Weinberg, such an amazing composer. His whole family were killed by the nazis. Shostakovich saved him from the gulag in Stalinist Russia. And a music so profound, so touching, full of textures and passsages. This piece in particular brings tears to my eyes. An impeccable and heart felt performance. ❤
Bravo à Sol Gabetta, à Mikko Franck et tous les musiciens pour ce concerto si touchant ❤❤❤❤
The most beautiful music I have ever heard is composed by Mieczysław Weinberg
It's just a privilege to listen to her, an even greater privilege to watch her. What a great musician.
Wonderful piece, great solo playing, orchestral playing and conducting. Not often you hear or see that combination. Thanks so much for posting
WOW! 3:44 The build-up! Dropping straight into that low C on the cello!
I think this might be the most beautiful piece of music I've heard in my entire life and the performance is breathtaking. Headphones on - defy you to be unmoved.

Came here to write that
Hi Paul. This is truly a masterpiece. There are the great concertos such as the Emperor but like Walton's Viola Concerto this one ranks with anything Beethoven or Brahms produced.
Listen to the Rostropovich version. It’s in a different universe of expression. This is an utterly prosaic reading of this masterpiece in comparison
This is the first time to hear this concerto
Really inspiration
Sol Gabetta brilha nesse concerto. Excelente interpretação. Parabéns.
Gabetta is fabulous but she is also great to bring Weinberg's music to the fore. His Symphonies are changing many composers and music lovers !
too good to be true. Excellent performance!!
This is 21st century World Music : everyone should know Weinberg's sad story and his wonderful music.
There was someone back in the 50s that carried the torch for MW, wiki has an extended article on this genius.
This is a beautiful concerto, and, as always, Sol Gabetta gives a beautiful performance!
Pauve homme, quelle vie atroce, quelle magnifique creation ce cello - il y avait t il une seule personne venue a son aide, a l'aimer...? Q'est ce que c'est un etre humain?
Szostakowicz was his friend, Unfortunately he lived in Soviet Union and if you don’t play the note with the government you suffer poverty . What a performance !!! Wonderful piece for Cello! Bartok and Mozart had similar fate.
*SHE IS PERFECT CELLIST!! BEST INTERPRETATION)))I WANT TO PLAY WITH CONCERT! THANKS A LOT!!* 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses relativ unbekannten doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit mildem doch gut artikuliertem Ton des genialen Solocellos sowie zurückgehaltenen und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Die Kadenz klingt besonders schön und echt künstlerisch. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester in gut phrasierten Tempi und mit sorgföltig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!
Sublime ❤
Excellent woodwind writing (and playing).
Très belle découverte musicale (pour moi) .... et le grand plaisir d'écouter/voir cette grande celliste Sol Gabetta...
Merci du partage !
D'accord....un découverte pour moi aussi…..Saludos desde México!
Extraordinario compositor. Me quedo con Bach, Poulenc y Él
Bravo!! Stamp! Whistle! Cheer! In the finest tradition of Casals, Rostropovich, Tortelier, Fournier, YoYo Ma, Maisky and other luminaries of the art, we see Sol Gabetta carrying the flag with the most consummately skillful artistry. Long may she continue to do so.
Fine work, exciting 'Allegro' and, after 8:00, some Romanian klezmer motifs, echoes of Minsk. BRAVI!
Fantastique!!!!!
Qu'y aurait-il à *ajouter* ? La partition est superbe, l'interprète profondément inspirée. L'écouter relève d'une expérience de profonde harmonie.
Шостакович Дмитрий особо выделял этого талантище...
Killer soul - there's harm in her eyes... LOVE her.
What a personality & beauty ; great woman !
yes, totally agree, just SO committed to every note!
Bravissimo!! Que bello concierto! Muchas gracias por compartirlo!
Excellente réalisation et découpage.
bravo!
Hermoso concierto y genial interpretación.
Es la primera vez que escucho este concierto y estoy gratamente sorprendido, especialmente por la fecha de su composición. La orquesta y la solista me eran conocidas y debí suponer que merecía la pena, como así ha sido.

Una novedad que no había escuchado con un sentido lógico en su desarrollo.
bravo! apparently shostakovitch was a friend... nice recording
Estoy conociéndole gracias a la Separata cultural de El País de España, Babelia,lo que escucho me gusta mucho!!
Hey, this is in C Minor, not D Minor - It's an excellent recording!
Good ear, you are correct
This is in C minor (not D minor), and written in 1948 (not 1958, as stated in the title above)
Beloved human being - how does one live a life such as his? Did no one love him, hold him near? Mankind! What a magnificent creation! There are geniuses whose works are not picked up on, the zeitgeist is not right. Another great victim was Hermann Broch who practically resolved the question of human alienation- violence. Of course, brutal men wouldn't want to know about that: they'd be no way to victimize human life.
wish she'd come to the states
@foxyjohnuk Criminal record??
@@arianasophia7630 Probablement s'agit-il d'un enregistrement incriminant la discrimination aux USA !
@foxyjohnuk what?
Who wants to go to this country full of morons an racists?
@@horsthornung2424 Trust me, Europe has its fair share of morons and racists.
Spread the word, there is another cello concerto equal to if not better than Elgar's.
2019 is Weinberg's 100th anniversary of the birth.
December 8. It's gonna be awesome with all the celebrations.
It is an interesting version, very different from Marina Tarasova, does anyone know where I could get the score?
I saw the score listed on IMSLP. there is a piano reduction on youtube....looks very playable
@@dgunde13gunderson78 I Will search!! A few months ago don't find it,
@@gerardoarcos9440 Hey there, thanks for response. Thinking back, I think it was one of the 17 Cello
Sonatas. not concerto. If you find pls respond, my 2 cellists and I are looking to. Then there's all
the viola pieces. many recorded by woman named Adler recently. All regards DG
composé en 1948

"Having converted to Christianity shortly before his death"- have read that before, wasn't aware there was evidence for it
Whether or not this happened, there is no question that Weinberg's work has a Jewish character. One doesn't have to be ethnically Jewish for this to happen: Prokofiev and Shostakovitch have it too.
Jesus couldn't save him either.
Hey they were connected thruout their lives. Many themes shared back and forth. They were near neighbors for years.
27 Sym, 17 st qt. ! so many unknown Russian composers lost to history!
wiki article questions/discusses the conversion. My intro to Jewish was going to music schools where most of musicians were Jews.
Of course, Russia etc. was full of them....
A more amazing story is that Bergson wanted to convert to Christianity but when the persecution of Jews began in Germany in the thirties, Bergson remained a Jew to keep faith with the persecuted. This is very 'Jewish'. Much Jewish thinking is based on such a 'sociality' - best expressed in philosophy by the work of Emmanuel Levinas. Of course, many Jews converted out of necessity throughout history, just as many Sufis claimed to be followers of Islam (Rumi, Hafiz) - just to survive. Tells us something about human beings.
Vous êtes sûr qu'il est en ré mineur ce concerto ?? En tous cas , le début est en do mineur.
Il serait bien en do mineur selon un autre commentaire.
@@mai-lan4222 D'après Wikipedia, son seul concerto pour violoncelle est bien en ut mineur
Unbelievably boring playing. The opening movement should be by turns weeping and ecstatic. The only way this could be lauded is by those who have not heard the history of cello playing, let alone this piece, and do not realise how much further there is to go. This masterpiece deserves so much better.
