Description:
GRAMMY® Award winning conductor Cristian MÄ?celaru, Artistic Director of the George Enescu Festival,
and his Orchestre National de France are the perfect ambassadors for the symphonic works by Enescu
(1881â??1955).
Enescu, composer and violin virtuoso, was teacher of Yehudi Menuhin, lived in Romania, the US and
France. Inspired by the musical heritage of his home country he created a completely unique oeuvre.
And while the Romanian Rhapsodies (especially No.1) included here are much loved, the three
symphonies are yet to be discovered as truly centre pieces of the symphonic repertoire. -
