Enescu: Symphonies Nos. 1-3; 2 Romanian Rhapsodies

Description

GRAMMY-winning conductor Cristian Macelaru, artistic director of the George Enescu Festival, and his Orchestre National de France are the perfect ambassadors for the symphonic works of George Enescu (1881-1955). While the "Romanian Rhapsodies" on this album (especially No. 1) have achieved greater fame, the three symphonies remain to be discovered as true masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire. Enescu, a multi-talented figure, was a composer and virtuoso violinist, among other things a teacher of Yehudi Menuhin, and lived in Romania, the United States, and France. Inspired by the musical heritage of his native country, he created a completely unique body of work. Pablo Casals called him "the most astonishing musician since Mozart."
