Com a publicação desta série de cinco CDs 💿 do quarteto Arcadia dedicados à música do compositor russo Weinberg, ficam a faltar os quartetos de cordas 10, 12 e 17. Possivelmente só em 2026 sairá o CD 💿 que falta.
Vou perguntar à inteligência artificial 🤣

Eis a resposta:
O CD que falta da série dos Quartetos de Cordas de Weinberg, interpretados pelo Arcadia Quartet na editora Chandos, é o Volume 6, que deve ser o último para completar o conjunto de 17 quartetos.
O lançamento do Volume 5 ocorreu em maio de 2025, o que sugere que o lançamento do volume final ocorrerá numa data posterior, ainda não confirmada publicamente.
A editora Chandos tem lançado um novo volume por ano (Vol. 1 em 2021, Vol. 2 em 2022, Vol. 3 em 2023, Vol. 4 em 2024 e Vol. 5 em 2025), pelo que uma data provável para o Volume 6 será em 2026.
The album Weinberg: String Quartets, Vol. 5 by the Arcadia Quartet was released on April 25, 2025, by the Chandos label. It features String Quartets Nos. 3, 9, and 14, along with the short pieces Improvisation and Romance.
Program Details
This volume is part of an acclaimed series recording Mieczysław Weinberg's complete string quartets, presenting works from contrasting periods of his compositional development.
String Quartet No. 3, Op. 14: Composed in 1944, this three-movement work is considered by some to be the first "mature" quartet.
Improvisation & Romance: These short pieces from 1950 are also included on the album.
String Quartet No. 9, Op. 80: Dating from 1963, this work comes from the composer's "starry decade," when his music was championed by notable performers.
String Quartet No. 14, Op. 122: Composed in 1978 after the death of his friend Dmitri Shostakovich, this quartet reflects a time of artistic questioning and renewal for Weinberg.
Expert Opinion
Reviewers have praised the Arcadia Quartet's technical artistry and commitment to Weinberg's music, describing their interpretations as "excellent and exciting". The recording is noted for its "exquisite pianissimo passages and superbly calibrated phrasing and dynamics". This volume is considered an essential addition to what has become a "definitive survey" of these works.
A separate, earlier Volume 5 in a different Weinberg string quartet series was released by the Quatuor Danel on the CPO label in 2011. The 2025 release features a different selection of quartets.
