George Enescu (1881-1955) is still remembered today, fifty years after his death, as Romania’s greatest classical composer. He was also a virtuoso violinist. His many works in numerous genres remain largely unknown outside his native land except for the immensely popular Romanian Rhapsodies, but they deserve wider circulation in view of the beauty of their melodies, their brilliant orchestrations, and their strong characterization and originality. This recording offers two of Enescu’s orchestral suites in addition to the beloved Rhapsody No. 1. Dancing vivacity and colorful instrumentation are characteristics of these effervescent orchestra pieces. The Romanian Philharmonic Society was founded in 1868. Its conductors have included significant figures in Romanian music not to mention Enescu himself, whose name the orchestra incorporated into its title in 1955 as the George Enescu Bucharest Philharmonic. The current conductor is Cristian Mandeal, who studied with both Karajan and Celibidache. He has conducted numerous major orchestras and more than forty world premieres.

Summary: Good recording
Comment: I bought this cd mainly because it was a CD with only the music of Enescu, and I wanted to hear some more of his orchestral music and it had a Romanian group performing the 1st Romanian Rhapsody. This recording is very good for the most part, nice tempi and execution of the Romanian folk charateristiques. My only complaint is that in some sections, there are some intonation issues mostly noticable in the clarinet part (and the horns), which isn't bad but it sticks out and draws attention away from the good performance it is. There seems to be a slight blance issue between the winds and strings in some parts, which might correlate to the location the microphones when the cd was recording. This is a good recording, and the price makes this cd worth the purchase. It is good to hear a Romanian orchestra playing this beautiul work. Toata Buna!
