that there is a recording released - video or audio, I wouldn't be particular.

Okay; I could handle that. But I don't want to have to wait!

Also, coincidentally, Weinberg (or Vainberg, if you ever want to look him up at a library) was mentioned just a couple of weeks ago in my music bibliography class. It was the first time I had heard of him.

I'd heard of him, but only because of the opera. I've never heard any of the music.

(Hey, Wikipedia tells me his family was from Bessarabia. So was some of mine. I very much doubt there is any connection.)

Speaking of people connected to Shostakovich: Kurt Sanderling.
