GEORGE ENESCU
His Life and Music
Noel Malcolm
Preface by
Sir Yehudi Menuhin 'The writing is straightforward, based on thorough research…Highly recommended'
D. G. Engelhardt, Choice 'Altogether an excellent piece of work'
Neue Zeitschrift für Musik
The Romanian composer George Enescu (1881–1955) is one of the neglected giants of the twentieth century. Prodigiously gifted, he became best known in America as a conductor (where he was considered as a successor to Toscanini in New York) and in Europe as one of the greatest violinists of the century. But he was first and foremost a composer; and, tragically, his mature works – works of extraordinary emotional depth and intricate beauty – remain virtually unknown outside Romania. This, the first full-length study of Enescu to be written in English, tells the story of his life and development as a composer. All of Enescu’s published compositions, and many unpublished works, are discussed. The book is intended for the non-specialist reader as well as for the musicologist. There is a detailed catalogue of Enescu’s compositions and a list of all his known recordings as conductor, violinist and pianist. 320 pp, Illustrated, 26 music exx.

The Romanian composer george enescu (18811955) has been a towering figure of 20thcentury music as a composer, violinist, pianist, conductor and pedagogoue.
http://www.uiuc.edu/ro/RomClub/Enescu/info.html
The Romanian composer George Enescu (1881-1955) has been a towering figure of 20th century music as a composer, violinist, pianist, conductor and pedagogoue. Together with Bartok (1881-1945), Szymanowsky (1882-1937), Janacek (1854-1928) and Stravinsky (1882-1971) he engineered the rebirth of the East European national schools thus creating the bridge linking the romantic era to the modern and contemporary language of music.
Towards the end of the fifth decade of the last century, Enescu was a regular visitor on the campus of the University of Illinois, being in residence for long periods of time.
He gave numerous masterclasses of violin, piano and chamber music, performed solo recitals and with orchestra and conducted the Sinfonietta and the School of Music Orchestra.
Beginning with 1948 through 1950 Enescu's presence would be an inspiration and a catalyst of music making and learning for students and faculty alike.
The present Festival is an attempt to revive those glorious moments in our School of Music's past and tradition and serve as an inspiration for our present and future generation of music students.
In addition, this event is connected to the American premiere of George Enescu's Trio for violin, cello and piano which has been revised into a new edition by the eminent Romanian composer and musicologist Pascal Bentoiu. This particular event will take place, in addition to the University of Illinois, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Central College, Iowa.

One of the most prolific composers of the 20th.century was actually considered incompotent during his studies at the Prague Conservatory. Bohuslav Martinu is the most important Czech composer after Janacek, though most of his compositions, including his 14 operas, were written while he was away from Czechoslovakia. Bohuslav Martinu 1890 - 1959
Vaclav Klicpera 1792 - 1859 Martinu's works cover a variety of styles, including the one-act jazz opera Les larmes de couteau , three radio operas, and several full serious works. His most well known work is the 1937 radio opera Comedy on a Bridge . Based on the play of the same name by Vaclav Klicpera, the opera has been successfully transfered to the stage. A comedy about the absurdities of war, it remains a favourite for student performance. A previous radio opera, The Voice of the Forest , with words by the Czech poet Vitezslav Nezval, was broadcast by Czech Radio Prague in October 1935. Nezval also wrote the words to the first segment of Martinu's Marian opera, The Plays of Mary

In its concise description of violinist Gidon Kremer, The Concise Grove Dictionary of Music quips that the 54-year-old Latvian violinist shows "a rare command of the concerto repertory and a sympathetic approach in chamber music." You have to love the Grove's command of understatement. Eight Seasons (which alternated each of Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons concertos with movements from Argentinean tango master Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires suite) and continued with last year's Grammy-winning After Mozart , which brings together the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (and his father Leopold) and works by 20th-century composers inspired by Mozart.

LEGENDARY
VIOLINISTS
OF THE PAST
A Guide to the Best of the Recent Reissues
by Edith Eisler
There has been a surge of interest in the great violinists of the past recently, as if audiences have tired of the undifferentiated, mass-produced–sounding performances often heard today and begun yearning for the "good old days" when players could be clearly identified by their tone and personality. The resulting flood of reissues on compact disc offers a fascinating look at the style and characteristics of the greatest violinists of the last century. In this selective report on the concerto repertoire, I hope to reclaim some less-known players and stimulate further explorations. The earliest violinist recorded here is Carl Flesch (1873–1944), who is remembered mainly as a great teacher but whose recording of the Beethoven and Brahms Concertos (

Lenuta Ciulei Acclaimed in 22 countries on 4 continents, the Romanian-born violinist Lenuta Ciulei started her brilliant career at the age of 9, appearing live on Romanian National TV. Her distinctive and imaginative style comes from a unique combination of violinistic traditions: the renowned artists and pedagogues George Enescu, David Oistrach, and Eugene Ysaye. She began playing violin at the age of 5 and studied with Stefan Gheorghiu, Andre Gertler, Raphael Druian, and Ruggiero Ricci. Mrs. Ciulei is a first prize winner of the famous N. Paganini (Genoa, Italy) International Violin Competition, the T. Varga (Sion, Switzerland) and M. Abbado (Sondrio, Italy) International Violin Competition. She has played at many prestigious festivals: the Bayreuth Festival (Germany), the Marlboro Music Festival, the Carmel Bach Festival, the George Enescu International Festival (Bucharest), the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival (Conn.), and the Grand Teton Music Festival. For her exceptional career she was awarded the 1994 Pennsylvania Council Of The Arts Fellowship Solo Recitalist Award and in 1996 with The Cultural Order "Rio Grande" by the President of The Federal Republic of Brazil. She performed in front of the U.N. Great Assembly at U.N. Palais in Geneva, in the Bartok Memorial House in Budapest, in the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, in Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, in Madrid for the Royal Spanish Family where the El Pais newspaper named her "one of the greatest European violinists of the younger generation", and in other major cities and capitals in Europe, Asia, North and South America as soloist with major orchestras.

The need to earn money, and the upheavals he experienced in Romania as a result of the two World Wars meant that he was better known as a conductor and violinist during his lifetime. But the enormous expansion of the recorded repertoire on CD means that his stature as Romania's greatest composer can now be more widely appreciated. BEGINNINGS Enescu was born in Moldavia, in north-east Romania. The only surviving child of twelve, he was fiercely protected by his mother, and wasn't allowed to mix with other children. He found an outlet in painting, and then, after he was given a violin at the age of four, in music, which he learned to play by ear. By the time he was five, he'd become proficient enough to impress the director of the Conservatoire in the Moldavian capital of Iasi. Two years later, he'd made sufficient progress to go to the Vienna Conservatoire. PRECOCIOUS CHILDHOOD In Vienna, the seven-year-old Enescu studied violin, piano, chamber music, harmony, counterpoint and musical history, and graduated at the age of twelve with the highest grade in all subjects. He had also began his performing career, at first giving recitals back in Romania during vacations, then in Vienna itself. He moved to Paris in 1895, principally to study composition with Massenet. During his three years at the Conservatoire, Enescu composed many student works, including four "School Symphonies", as he described them. But he also wrote the

Adelina Oprean/Justin Oprean Enescu: Violin Sonatas (Helios) The Romanian George Enescu was something of an all-round musical genius. Not only an excellent composer, he was also a first-rate violinist and conductor, and an accomplished pianist and cellist with a formidable musical memory. The three works on this excellent CD span almost 30 years of his career, but each one is as fascinating as the other in its own way, and Adelina Oprean and her brother team up brilliantly to meet each of their challenges. Sonata no.2 is a stunning early work, heavily tinged with Brahmsian sonorities and rhythms. Oprean captures the mood of the sinuous opening theme of the first movement and the wistful understatement of the Tranquillo slow movement beautifully, as well as playing the more impassioned sections with great command and feeling, before launching deftly into the spirited dance-like finale.

GEORGE ENESCU (1881-1955)
Violin Sonatas
Excerpts from the sleeve notes THE ROMANIAN COMPOSER George Enescu (1881-1955) is one of the neglected giants of modern music. His magnificent series of late chamber works, which starts with his Third Violin Sonata, includes pieces of striking originality, intricate beauty and expressive power which can be ranked with the finest chamber music of Ravel, Janácek or Bartók. Outside Romania, however, most of Enescu’s music is unknown, and the only pieces played at all frequently in the concert hall are his two early and far from typical Romanian Rhapsodies. Judging Enescu by those two pieces alone is rather like judging Ravel on the basis of Bolero and nothing else. Enescu was born to a fairly prosperous middle- or lower-middle-class family in the north-eastern corner of Romania, close to the Ukrainian border. He showed a precocious talent for both violin-playing and composition, and at the age of seven he entered the Vienna Conservatoire. There he encountered Brahms, and developed what was to be a life-long devotion to his music. In 1895 Enescu moved to the Paris Conservatoire, where his teachers included Massenet and Fauré, and his friends and fellow-students included Ravel and Alfred Cortot. Even before he left the Conservatoire in 1899, he had attracted public acclaim in Romania as a composer; up until the first world war, he was based mainly in Paris, but spent several months each year in his native land, where he was appointed court musician to the Romanian royal family. Major works of this period included his first symphony (1905); his second and third symphonies were completed in Romania during the war.
