The Polish-born Weinberg was of Jewish origin and spent most of his life in the USSR. He is often ranked (along with Shostakovich and Prokofiev) among the most significant Soviet composers of the 20th century. His importance, however, is still being discovered, his oeuvre being popularized namely by the violinist Gidon Kremer, performer of many Weinbergs compositions. Ernest Bloch was also of Jewish origin; he lived alternately in Switzerland and in the USA, where he took refuge from the German Nazi regime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41013830582369,"sku":"8594155991624","price":14.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1808820_298643_jpg.jpg?v=1778232744","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8594155991624-piano-quintets","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
