thank you for your comment. i don´t think the official prices of the Soviet Union wouldn´t necessarily mean having a prosperous, successful or happy life. besides that, to my information he received the prize of the USSR in 1980, not 1990.

​​@@linusroth650 This is a very hard and ambiguous matter to be studied, I'm noticing going through as much material and literature as I can: the actual reception in Soviet Union by his contemporaries, I really can't get to the bottom of it. He actually won the USSR state prize for the arts in 1990, specifically for the composition of Chamber music n1 and n2 (both composed in 1987). It was not easy to find on the internet the list of the laureates. As much as the memories of the people that met the composer are incredibly precious, they are inevitably imbued with personal thoughts and subjectivity, unable to reach historical truth. Thanks very much for sharing this video

i double checked, and yes, you seem to rigth it was in 1990. nevertheless his music wasn´t performed too much in the last 10 years of his life, at least by far not as much as in the 40s- mid 70s. none of the big soviet stars took his music to the west, but only performed it in the USSR ( Oistrach, Rostropovich, Gilels, Kogan ) . The next generation like f e Kremer concentrated on more avantgarde composers like Schnittke, Gubaidulina etc and never performed Weinberg until lately, when Weinberg´s "renaissance" started. after all it depends mainly on us performing artists if a composer gets played ot not...

Liebe Krina, wie schön von Dir zu lesen. Danke für den lieben Kommentar, ich hoffe, wir sehen uns spätestens im Sommer bei den nächsten Konzerten von www.ibizaconciertos.com wieder. Herzliche Grüße, Linus
