The greatest short work for orchestra ever composed! Enescu was a rare genius...

this perfect rapsody I could hear day and night all the time

Mmmm ce frumos, ce minunata muzica!!! God bless all the Romanian people and beautiful Romania!!

Enescu is the best 😍 I love his rhapsodies, of course, but also his concert piece (as I am a violist). He's a genius- the youngest person to go to the Vienna Conservatory. :)

No one dislikes this. Let's hope it stays that way!

Cine este nevolnicul care a dat ”unlike” acestui „masterpiece”?... Să-i dea Bunul Dumnezeu ce merită!... Who is the idiot who gave ”unlike” to this masterpiece???... Good Lord to give him what he deserves!

[johnalce]

Superb! Thanks for sharing it.
PS Surprised how such a small number of viewers for such a perfect piece. But this is the way it

[michaelcweissman]

Bravo Raluca! Ceea ce faci tu este de nepretuit. Urmaresc cu mult interes.

what a precious document!! thank you so much and you are a wonderful pianist, Raluca Stirbat!
great quality recording by the way

Having watched the clip with Celibidache in Bucharesti several times, I thought a French orchestra might sound too perfunctory. Enescu really got them to hurl themselves into the music.

It would be interesting to learn more about the photo of Enescu at Sinaia. I'm tempted to imagine him being somewhere in Pelișor Castle.

Cette musique est exceptionelle, je l' écoute journellement ;
est-ce que quelqu' un pourrait me donner un conseil parce que je voudrais acheter une photo
de George Enesco ou Enescu (selon quel programme internet on regarde !) pour la mettre dans mon salon à coté de poètes et autres musiciens
Merci.

Let's see... Worth hearing are Conta, Celibidache and Enescu. IMHO. Celibidache is the most dance and fire, Enescu is the most classical, elegant and concert, Conta is the most in between very musical. The rest... however good, beautiful, masterful, all lack some special insight to light the fire...
