Irina Shostakovich and Alexander Raskatov - a conversation about Mieczysław Weinberg

In April 2015 the International Weinberg Society (http://www.weinbergsociety.com ) filmed this conversation of Irina Shostakovich and composer Alexander Raskatov about the life of Mieczysław Weinberg.

The International Weinberg Society was founded to promote the music of Mieczysław Weinberg (*1919 in Warsaw; † 1996 in Moscow), to bring attention to his works, to encourage musicians to perform his music and make him known to a wider audience.

Its mission is to organise concerts, lectures, exhibitions and multidisciplinary events which are focused on Weinberg´s music and life, his close connection to Dimitri Shostakovich and his importance to classical music in the 20th century.

One of the Society´s objectifs is to contribute to the financing of recordings of his music, as well as the publication and translation of articles and books about his life.
