absolutely breathtaking!! thank you for reminding the world about these 4 fantastic Romanian musicians !

[@eric_lander]

An excellent performance of a captivating composition by the genius Enescu.

[@MrDjango1953]

Much more beautiful than any modern recording ive heard!

[@harryandruschak2843]

Wonderful music that I have never heard before. Our two local classical music stations regard Enescu as a one-work composer

[@CeciliaLucretiaBadea]

Nice evocative work

[@MegaCirse]

Nous n'écoutons pas Enescu sans investir un peu de réflexion et de temps à sa philosophie et son inspiration, pour pouvoir respirer les parfums de son architecture musicale prodigieuse !!!

[@didierschein8515]

C'est bien dit. A chaque écoute d'une même oeuvre; nous faisons de nouvelles découvertes.

[@richarddrake2111]

What Cecilia, shisbirth, Raluca, and Ronnie say (and doubtless what many others think): mulțumesc foarte mult.

[@bowiebeau]

Thank you!

[@StanimirLeca]

@bowiebeau You're welcome.

It has to be said that this isn't the best of Enescu. The first two movements are all rather shapeless and meandering and the third lacks memorable material ... (The recording shows its age, too.) Listen to his Octet for an altogether different experience: magical, thrilling life-affirming ... Thanks for posting, though. Always interesting to explore and discover.

[@deandusk]

Joseph Laredo Yes, well, "meandering" could easily describe a great part of his work. Not in a negative way, mind you. From what I've heard, clarity of structure was not Enescu's main concern. On the contrary, I feel a sort of "stream of consciousness"-like quality about his music that gives it its unique charm.

@@DeSolaun Totally agree.

[@fennelleastman8816]

what nonsense! you don't know what you're talking about -- this is beautiful music and the playing is magnificent.
