Within his extended discography, Neeme Järvi has explored the work of some magnificent Eastern European composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, recently including Suchon and Scharwenka.
He here reveals the delightful, witty Hungarian style of Leo Weiner, who found inspiration in the music of Bartok, his near contemporary, and taught such great figures of the Hungarian musical scene as Solti and Dorati, but also Kurtag.
While 'Hungarian style' had been defined by Brahms and Liszt, Weiner gave it a personal slant with his clarity of scoring, featuring characterful solos for woodwinds and trumpet that have led commentators to register the influence of Bizet.
Throughout these recordings of the five Divertimentos and the Serenade, some of the works new to the catalogue, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor encapsulate the freshness and fluidity of engaging, yet too rarely performed compositions.
