Wainberg?
It used to be Vainberg, then it was Weinberg. Now we have something new!
it says Weinberg in big letters in that picture…
The correct English spelling is Weinberg. In Polish, Wajnberg. “Wainberg” is incorrect.
He lived most of his life in USSR, so it’s Моисей Самуилович Вайнберг
This is good news. Thanks
The name is also spelled as “Vainberg” but why all this discussion about how it’s transliterated into English? The point is, this is a 20th century composer of genius, whose music has been unjustifiably neglected and is finally starting to receive the attention it deserves
Perhaps Mr. Lebrecht might consider hiring a proof-reader, before we end up with “Whineberg”.
