Description: The 1990 Third is a reworking (rather than a transcription - the fourth movement is new entirely) of Weinberg's String Quartet No. 5 with the expected echoes of Shostakovich but also of Mahler while the 1992 Fourth is completely newly composed, a four-movement, 33-minute work (in form and length just like its discmate) and was the composer's last completed work, notable for its predominantly gentle and elegiac tone with a particularly beautiful last movement which fines away into silence. Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra; Thord Svedlund.
