Not so long ago, Mieczysław Weinberg's music was known to only a handful of specialists. It is thanks to the commitment of several cultural institutions, musicians, and particularly the enthusiasm of the audience that the Polish-Soviet composer’s compositional oeuvre is finding a greater place in our awareness today – and along with it, the echo of an entire century. The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden would also like to contribute to remembering the musical legacy of Dmitri Shostakovich's legitimate successor.
