Zun Mit a RegnZun mit a regn (Sun and Rain) is a metaphor for 'laughter and tears' and a fitting motto for a program dedicated to the three Russian composers and friends Mieczslaw Weinberg, Veniamin Basner and Dmitre Shostakovich who supported each other even in the worst of times. World war Two and the reign of terror in the Soviet Union had a deep impact on the composers. The horrors of war were important themes in their work and the music of the persecuted Jewish people was a source of inspiration for them. At a time when Jewish culture was taboo and open pronouncements could have fatal consequences, this was an act of courage. It was often years before the works could be premiered, some scores never left the composers desk drawers or remained buried in archives. This recording includes unknown scores by Winberg and Basner.
Performed by the Sovali Consort: Soprano, violin, cello and piano.
Tracks:
Weinberg: Jewish songs first cycle; sonata for cello solo; Jewish songs second cycle; Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue no 8 in F sharp minor for piano; Four songs from 'From Jewish Folk Poetry'; Basner : Poem for violin and piano; Three fragments from the musical 'Jewish Luck' for voice and piano trio
