Gidon Kremer got infected. Not from the miserable corona virus, but from a fever that has been rampant in the international music world for much longer. It’s “vineyard fever”, a fortunately completely harmless form of enthusiasm that goes viral in a different way, for a composer at that. It is named after Mieczysław Weinberg, a friend and protégé of Dmitri Shostakovich who was born in Warsaw in 1919 and died in Moscow in 1996. Today, Kremer is the most important pioneer for a renaissance of Weinberg’s gripping music.
