Summary
Following early uncertainty, Weinberg’s return to Poland was confirmed by August, as Shostakovich wrote to Boris Tishchenko, but it is not clear what happened with the proposal to perform his Eighth Symphony. Kondrashin did perform with the Moscow Philharmonic and Mstislav Rostropovich, but the programme appears either to have been altered at the last minute or to have been excluded from the official booklet for the festival.
