Symphony no. 18 : War - there is no word more cruel

"The present performance [trumpet concerto] boasts a compelling contribution from Andrew Balio, who revels in the Finale ... this performance [Symphony] is disadvantaged by the uneven singing of the St Peterburg Chamber Choir".

"Lande and the St Petersburg State Symphony with the St Petersburg Chamber Choir here maintain the standard of their previous Weinberg recordings, which is to say that the depth of sound and the dramatic intensity of their Soviet counterparts are rarely matched".

"This is then, another major addition to the Weinberg discography, and it can be recommended without hesitation".
