The third volume of the complete piano works focuses on the three sets of Children’s Notebooks, 23 charming miniatures written to meet the strong demand for music for children in the Soviet Union. Weinberg’s sets, however, were criticised for so-called inappropriate sophistication. The 21 Easy Pieces for Piano, Op 34 are mood pictures, less technically demanding than the Notebooks but certainly not aimed at beginners.


   




Review By Jerónimo Marín,Ritmo,June 2013

Weinberg (1919-1996) es uno de los grandes compositores del siglo XX, digan lo que digan las enciclopedias y libros al respecto. Nuestro poco conocimiento de su obra obedece a circunstancias políticas obvias. Coetáneo y amigo de Shostakovich, su producción es ingente y sólo ahora no está siendo dada a conocer. Dentro de la tradición rusa de componer obras destinadas a los niños que dan sus primeros pasos al piano se inscriben todas las obras de este discos: los tres Cuadernos de piezas para niños Op. 16, Op. 19 y Op. 23, con ocho, siete y siete obras que rara vez superan los dos minutos respectivamente, y que datan entre 1944 y 1947, o sea, recién instalado en Moscú en octubre de 1943.

Review By Gilles d’Heyres,ConcertoNet.com,November 2012

Pour le plus grand bonheur du mélomane en quête de raretés, le label Grand Piano poursuit son édition intégrale de la musique pour piano de Weinberg par Allison Brewster Franzetti. Après un remarquable volume 1 et un remarqué volume 2, la New-Yorkaise pose une nouvelle pierre à l’édifice pianistique de Mieczyslaw Weinberg (1919–1996).
