Russian (sort-of Russian) violin concertos on Naxos

[eschiss1]

an upcoming? Naxos recording contains not another recording (already one on the same label) of Weinberg's violin concerto but rather what is advertised- correctly I believe? - as the premiere recording of Weinberg's violin concertino (with string orchestra, 1948), opus 42 together with relatively better-known works by Conus and Arensky (to us, anyway. But to a wider audience I hope, if well-performed, a good introduction to all three composers...!
At the price I might make it one of my rare CD purchases because of the Weinberg premiere- and I don't think I have the Conus, anyway Just for myself!) Expected to be released today some places, actually...
See MDT.
(Russian Violin Concertos is their (tentative?) title, said three times. Will you accept Russian-and-Polish-Soviet? ... no?... (a biographical connection, that last, between Myaskovsky and Weinberg on their other CD, at that, though Myaskovsky, I think, was only briefly in Poland at that part of his life.))

Thanks a lot for the comment! I noticed the recording, but just read "Weinberg" and did not thought it could be anything else than his violin concerto. So now I already ordered the CD! Thanks for mentioning it here!

Best,
Tobias

That's what I thought too, and Naxos has recorded the same work, even lesser-known works, twice with different performers (sometimes the first recording was on Marco Polo originally, as with the Szymanowski symphonies, sometimes it's their two sets of Mendelssohn quartets- which judging from representation as a complete cycle qualify overall as "lesser-known"... etc.- or their re"printing" some Delos recordings recently which conflict with recent recordings of their own, e.g. of Hanson's symphonies) - so it could have been!...
