Enescu plays Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto (live, 1937)

[@pavelchiriac5155]

Enesco plays with such a feeling intensity which makes people cry . His expressiveness is soo powerful ,soo deep, soo sincere . Indeed He is the 20th century greatest genial musician.

[@正弘網野]

75年前のライブ！古い演奏なのに心震えるのは何故でしょうか⁉︎素晴らしい演奏です。

[@JohnMartin-ux2rm]

Enescu must have been the greatest musical genius of the 20th Century .

[@xDMrGarrison]

Yup. It's a damn shame we don't have more of him. On the other hand, we are INCREDIBLY lucky to have what we do have :) His recording of the Bach sonatas alone is so precious, it's a treasure.

[@jeanghika7653]

Correct! He was it indeed.

[@raduradu2015]

just imagine how he played violin in his prime around 1900 ...

[@mihailfrunza1349]

Asa e, incontestabil, daca ne permite dna Angela Gheorghiu...

[@ioana938]

The sustained intensity of his interpretation is breathtaking -- and likely closer to the original intent than the lyrical ones we have grown to love. My mind is blown...

[@gs637]

Sublime would be an understatement for what I have just witnessed here.

[@yakshaver1]

WOW!! What a sound! What nuance and power! And that inimitable vibrato! Amazing!!!! T

[@TK-wm5vw]

Music from heaven!

[@strad1704]

great playing - many thanks for this! Very interesting to hear him play when he was 56 years old (1881-1955).

[@catalina_mihai2014]

❤ the best interpretation! The glissando from introduction it is so smart! What a frazing ... Thank you

Джордже ЭНЕСКУ - жил и творил по заветам недосягаемого ПАГАНИНИ - чтобы сильно играть, надо сильно чувствовать. Вот как раз этот постулат он всей своей жизнью и дерзнул воплотить - и ведь в итоге воплотил !!! Вот за что ему величайшая благодарность в веках !!! - неподражаемый тон его скрипки оставил миру величайшую КРАСОТУ МУЗЫКИ !!! СПб, рабочий, 61 год.

Interpretare extraordinara a genialului Enescu!

[@robertlancaster4538]

“La perfection, qui passionne tant de gens, ne m’intéresse pas. Ce qui importe, en art, c’est de vibrer soi-même et de faire vibrer les autres.” -Georges Enescu “Perfection, which is the passion of so many people, does not interest me. What is important in art is to vibrate oneself and make others vibrate.”

[@cornelmicut1093]

Cornel Micut and of course Ginette Neveu ☺️

He was a stunning pianist, and also a professional-level cellist. And a tremendous conductor as well, who had most of the standard repertory memorized. There are youtube videos of him playing the violin part of of his 3rd Violin Sonata with the great Dinu Lipatti. There is another of him playing the piano part of his sonata with Serge Blanc on the violin, and Enescu's piano playing surpasses that of Lipatti. I would claim that he was the greatest musician of the century. I certainly think that he was one of the supreme composers of the century.

[@robertlancaster4538]

@@franklincox9508 Thank you for comment, franklincox9508. [John Sunier ] "In a conversation with grand master cellist Janos Starker, I asked him which musicians gave him the most pleasure to read and to perform. “If you ask me what I read for pleasure, then I say any of the chamber works of Brahms,” he replied. “But if you ask me who was the most ‘complete’ musician, then I say Enescu.”

[@robertlancaster4538]

@@franklincox9508 " Richard Strauss recalls performing with Georges Enescu: In 1906, in Paris, Enescu played my Sonata for violin and piano. I was accompanying him myself with a feeling of satisfaction and, at the same time, awe. So much greater as, at one of the rehearsals (we only had two!), he had replaced me at some point at the piano and had played the entire sonata without notes, humming the violin part with a most astonishing accuracy. In fact, artists of genius have this wonderful gift of taking in the music in its entirety, of assimilating it in all its details until it becomes, in a sense, a constituent part of their thinking and feeling, as if they were the authors of the piece they interpret. Accompanying him in that unf orgettable concert in Paris, I had the rather unusual feeling that I was detaching myself from my composition, and that I was listening not to a sonata written by me, but one written by Enescu. When, after the concert, I told him that, he looked at me seriously and said: 'But this is perfectly natural. Once I grew fond of your sonata, it became mine to the same extent to which it is yours. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to play it the way you felt it…' (Cronica, Iaşi, 2, no. 31(78), 5.08.1996)
