In case anyone else does notice.
This guy is aka Moishei Vainberg
WHY Weinberg on the Chandos disc.?
The reason is very simple: Weinberg is correct, all other spellings are wrong! Weinberg grew up and spent his first twenty years in Poland, where the Latin alphabet is used, and he and his family spelt the name exactly this way. Its origin is German/Yiddish. Any other spelling in the Latin alphabet must thus be avoided!
The variety of (wrong) spellings is due to the circumstance that various people believed that the original spelling of the name was the one of the Russian alphabet. They then transliterated the name into the Latin alphabet, according to various rules (an ironical detail being that Soviet scores -- of all! -- used the correct spelling Weinberg!). But now Weinberg is becoming increasingly accepted. The New Groves, the famous dictionary, used the English transliteration "Vaynberg" some years ago, but in the Internet edition they have now corrected this into Weinberg.
I am at present writing a biography in English which is scheduled to appear in 2005 at Toccata Press in London; there I of course am using the correct spelling Weinberg!
Per Skans Uppsala, Sweden"
both the spelling appearing on Olympia CDs (Vainberg), and the composer's own spelling (Weinberg) synonymously. This is done to avoid confusion, however, I hope that over time the correct spelling, as explanied above, will become the accepted one.

This is a lovely disc. Four very accessible concertos from the second half of the twentieth century, played three principals from the Gothenberg orchestra.

In any case there are not much SACD's to be found with Oboe, Flute, Clarinette, Bassoon and Trumpet concerto's.

You've got to go back to the Baroque and Classical eras. Then, you'll find lots of them.
But.. Have you heard this one... Weinberg: Concertos - Svedlund??
I have been enjoying it very much as well.
Well indeed Brett, this is absolutely fab. The first piece immediately wins you over. The last one however, you have to let it grow onto you, but then you enjoy it too.
And I don't get bored of it. Listened about 20 times now, the more I listen, the more I want to hear it again. This did'nt happen to me often before.
Thank you very much for the tip.
All the other Weinberg SACD'S are definitely on my wish list now.

I am very happy to hear that! They are all exceptionally beautiful pieces. The clarinet concerto is a bit dark, but its andante has become my favorite piece on this disk.
If you are interested in flute music for small ensembles that's a little more esoteric, then Takemitsu: Itinerant - Kudo is very good, too. The playing time is kind of short.. 47:23. But, it's a superb DSD recording. Stereo SACD and Multichannel SACD layers only. No CD layer. The booklet is in Japanese and English.
Here are some samples:

I suppose I should post this on its thread as well.

I personally prefer the Cello concerto,but yes very easily digested melodic music indeed.
And apart from much too forwardly balanced even "huge cello" with orchestra in the background in the concerto the SQ from the Gothenburg hall is good too.
Quite likely another DSD recording from Chandos.
Regarding more interesting music by Takemitsu,there is an interesting early pure DSD recording from BIS with hauntingly beautiful works for chamber orchestra.
Thanks for the youtube samples!
