Music of Alexander Krein

Alexander Krein and Mieczyslaw were both Soviet composers of Jewish origin. Both left behind substantial bodies of excellent work. Weinberg was particularly prolific, leaving behind more than one-hundred and fifty published works, including seven operas, twenty-two symphonies, seventeen string quartets and twenty-eight instrumental sonatas. Born in Kiev, pianist Anastasia Seifetdinova is deeply steeped in this literature.
