Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla & Orchestre Philharmonique De Radio France – Weinberg: Aria, Op. 9

Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla launched her Deutsche Grammophon recording career in 2019 with an album devoted to Mieczysław Weinberg’s Symphonies Nos. 2 and 21, released to tie in with the centenary of this neglected composer. Among its many accolades, it was named Gramophone’s Recording of the Year and won Gražinytė-Tyla the Opus Klassik Conductor of the Year award. Now she continues her mission to broaden awareness of the Warsaw-born composer’s music with Weinberg: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 7 and Flute Concerto No. 1. Weinberg’s compositional style is influenced by Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Myaskovsky, Bartók and Mahler; his works are often based on a programme, largely autobiographical in nature, and they reflect on the fate of the composer and of humanity in general. The imagery of many of his works is connected with his memories of his childhood and of World War II, and consequently themes relating to the destruction of childhood (and, by extension, purity, serenity and stability) are central to his aesthetic and are frequently symbolized by the musical material. Despite this, Weinberg strove for a reflection of a philosophy of universal harmony and unity by means of neo-classical, rationalist clarity and proportion. For all the importance of the word, the programmatical nature of many works and the occasional Slavic and Jewish thematic materials, his music has an absolute – even abstract – quality.
