Anastasia Kobekina plays Weinberg

Anastasia Kobekina and the Berne Symphony Orchestra play Fantasy for Cello and Orchestra by Mieczyslaw Weinberg, a largely forgotten figure in 20th-century Russian music.

BBC New Generation Artists: Anastasia Kobekina plays the Cello Concerto by Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Once seen, along with Shostakovich and Prokofiev as one of the big three of Soviet music, his music has until recently been largely forgotten figure. The young Russian-born cellist made this recording to mark the centenary of Weinberg's birth last year.
