Music of Alexander Krein & Mieczysław Weinberg

Alexander Krein and Mieczyslaw were both Soviet composers of Jewish origin.  Both left behind substantial bodies of excellent work.  Weinberg was particularly prolific, leaving behind more than one-hundred and fifty published works, including seven operas, twenty-two symphonies, seventeen string quartets, and twenty-eight instrumental sonatas.  Born in Kiev, pianist Anastasia Seifetdinova is deeply steeped in this literature.
