About

George Enescu (1881–1955) is one of the great composers, although the world has yet to realise the extent of his achievement.

Enescu’s small published oeuvre of 33 opus numbers belies the amount of music he produced: he composed prolifically but, as he was both a perfectionist and a busy performer, much of his music is still unknown.

This CD reveals solo, chamber and concertante pieces featuring the violin, played by Sherban Lupu, who understands Enescu’s idiom like few other musicians.

First recordings of Sarabande, Prelude and Gavotte, Airs dans le genre roumain, Fantaisie concertante and Nocturne ‘Villa d’Avrayen’. First recording in this version of Pastorale, Menuet triste et Nocturne and Aria and Scherzino.
