“Mieczyslaw Weinberg transcribed three of his quartets for chamber orchestra. The East-West Chamber Orchestra, founded less than five years ago by conductor Rostislav Krimer, consists of young concertmasters and soloists playing famous instruments. Together they make the two works blossom in vividly colourful performances. If their playing still shows some deficiencies in the culture of a fine nuanced interplay, they compensate this with energy and intensity.” ****
