George Enescu: Strijkoctet / String Octet in C gr.t. op.77

[igorgetmeabrain]

I love the crazy Schubert Quintet homage in the closing bars. Glorious performance as always from Janine and friends!

[MegaVicar]

Great textural variety from an octet that is all strings! Enescu is shamefully underrated.

[EastWest]

An outstanding (and intense) performance! I have been a fan of Georges Enesco since I was 19. A brilliant composer.

[handle]

I have been a orchestral violinist and an avid chamber music player for over forty years, and i thought i new it all. But like most things in life the older you get the less you really now.
I have never heard Enescus octet before, its a great work, and Janine and friends play beautifully.

[pascalify]

And Enescu wrote this at age nineteen...

[IvanGreindl]

What a brilliant performance! Thank you so much, Mrs. Jansen and friends.

[lmfviolet]

I swear I cry every time I watch Janine Jansen, she plays with such intensity and delight. It's glorious.

[ArtVandelay]

Exquisite. Enescu is one of the finer of the fine Romanian 'cultural products' :)

[breakpoint]

OMG! this is a masterpiece, brilliant! Outstanding performance and the piece of a genius! Enescu impresed me to tears....I have already listened the symphonies, rapsody, ....and many others and now I am dealing with Oedip Roi, his opera masterpiece. I am stunned! What a brilliant composer...!

[debbieprokop]

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of this composer! I had to Duck Duck Go him to find out more about this amazing Romanian composer! Thank you AVROTROS Klassiek for uploading something I'd never heard before! And enjoyed immensely!

[arpeggione]

Performers: Janine Jansen (violin), Boris Brovtsyn (violin), Julia-Maria Kretz (violin), Alexander Sitkovetsky (violin), Amihai Grosz (viola), Julian Rachlin (viola), Maarten Jansen (cello), Jens Peter Maintz (cello)

[MegaCirse]

Bon Dieu! C'est juste la représentation d'une brillante et épique pièce de musique. Le dialogue ici est comme si nous parlions de l'interprétation correcte de l'Écriture. Ce que nous avons ici est une performance flamboyante, bien exécutée, bien pensée et émotionnellement sensible.

[palcsibankschuler]

I have listened to this three times now today; It seems to get better and better. This work has kindled an interest in me to hear more Enescu. I really was only familiar with his two Romanian Rhapsodies.

[notaire]

Energische und zugleich lyrische Aufführung dieses anspruchsvollen Streichoktetts mit perfekter Synchronisierung aller Streicher. Einfach wunderschön!

[notaire]

Energetic and at the same time lyrical performance of this challenging string octet with perfect synchronization of all the strings. Simply beautiful!

[IvanLuza]

I love this piece so much! THank you SO Much for the upload!!!!

[breakpoint]

And Brilliant Janine.& colleagues....brilliant!

[PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Dit is erg mooi muziek! Ik van hou Enescu! Geweldig!!!

[andreseduardomostajomichel]

In minute 29:50 we can see real viola power, bravo!

[ArianSadrayi]

One of my favorite "power" endings, along with Beethoven's 5th symphony and Shostakovich's 7th symphony. Also both in C major!
