Weiner: Complete Works for Orchestra, Vol. 5

Hungarian composer Leó Weiner forged a distinctive synthesis between German and French Romantic traditions and the emerging Hungarian musical language at the start of the 20th century. His Ballade, long admired for its dreamlike lyricism, became one of his most celebrated works.

Weiner often turned to folk music as a refuge from the rising tide of modernism, and his Suite transforms dance melodies into a work of symphonic breadth and architecture. The Second Violin Concerto stands as a defiantly Romantic post‑war masterpiece, where darkness and light coexist in a powerful expression of humanity during an age marked by violence.
