George Enescu plays Bach

George Enescu is still considered the greatest of all Romanian composers. While he is widely known for just one famous opus, he was in reality a very imaginative, highly skilled composer of music possessing great depth and subtlety, as well as being one of the great concert violinists of his time. For appearances in the West he adapted his name to a form that would prompt the French to pronounce it correctly: Georges Enesco.

enescu is amazing, i didnt appreciate bach much until I heard these recordings. Too many people butcher Bach, but maestro Enescu was a true master violinist

[gaugin1903]

Enescu not only plays the music of Bach, but also speaks it, sings it, crys with Bach, loughs with him and tells us old legends spoken by Bach through his music.

Divine Enescu for whome Divine Bach lived another life.
