Rare Weinberg photos

Here are a few photographs of Weinberg, all of them found from various sources online. I have reproduced any information included with the photos - but many of them are a mystery. I welcome any input from readers.

(The following photo comes from a page of reminiscences by Adele Tsodikova, a relation of Weinberg's: link).

 1948. L-R, Rahling, Gorodinsky, Khrennikov, Kabalevsky, and Weinberg.

Portrait of Weinberg.
(Unknown year/origin - early 1950s? Appears to have been 'brushed-up' also).

(Unknown year/origin - mid 1960s?). 

The pictures above and below come from the archive of the RGALI library - and were posted on the DSCH facebook group page. 

1968. Rehearsal of Shostakovich's Violin Sonata. L-R, Shostakovich, Oistrakh, Pikaisen turning pages, and Weinberg accompanying.  


As mentioned above, please feel free to comment/email if you have further info about any of these images. And please do get in touch if you have any other rare photographs of Weinberg.
