I am 73 years old, and I do think this is the very first time I have heard this masterpiece. Thank you for uploading this work. The local classical music station, KUSC, regards Enescu as a one-work composer. Indeed, I listened to it twice in a row. What a magnificent work.

Hoe is het mogelijk dat zo een groot talent vergeten is in de wereld van de klassieke muziek ?

[@gabi.coroian]

Ik huilde toen ik naar deze muziek luisterde, en ik ben van Roemeense afkomst.

[@carolasandrakaty]

I am amaized by the maturity Enescu had, he was only 16 years old when he composed this masterpiece. It cuts so deep into the soul...

[@threske1]

Deze prachtige muziek van Enescu maakt dat ik uitkijk naar de uitvoering van Christina Popa van Grootel piano met zang van Evert van Grootel!

[@WetHandkerchief]

I have been looking for this particular piece for years! The Enescu collection on KZbin is growing, it seems... Thank you very much, finding this has brightened my morning!

Reminds me of the "Well-Tempered Clavier"

[@alexandrugheorghe2236]

ben falk; silviuuno : It reminds you of Bach because during his staying in France at the Conservatoire, they (the students) were banned (literally, by the staff) to use Bach's work on Contrapuntal composition. This kind of played an interesting influence because he was very attracted of Bach. At 17 years old, George Enescu was under the protection of Queen Marie of Romania, she gave him a lot of the opera works of Bach (Bach-Gesellschaft edition) which he memorized during his life time. In fact, his memory was so good that everything (in general) that he wanted to play he would just sit at the piano and play from memory. And he only memorized those that he liked, nothing without reason. So most probably he devoured Bach works when he got to them eventually. Too bad the communist regime kept him a "nationalistic" (strictly) composer and not allowing recognition for him as a good composer in general, inside the country. Of course, outside the country he was known, his studies were from little child in Europe even if he could have stayed in the country. His parents were very inspired to give him for studies in Vienna. A prodigy indeed... and he understood the Romanian folklore very well (see Romanian Rhapsody, i.e. Celibidache in Bucharest: (1978) - Enescu: Rapsodia Română n°1) Hope this info helps on the Bach subject.

Alexandru Gheorghe Actually, he was under protection of Queen Elisabeta, wife of H.M. Carol I (1866-1914)

I fell so blessed to wear the George Enescu's last name. :X

The last part is a real gem! Beautiful!

This adagio here really reminds me of Bach's BWV 645. So calm and peaceful.

Geweldige en tijdloze muziek Gabriel

[@maximana3102]

Foarte frumos

[@SEBANOWITZ]

A comparer avec la version de G Enescu lui même au piano. Très bien.

[@OurSeaBee]

16:50 - OH YES!

[@SuperMelvyn]

WHEN was it recorded? ... a way into Bach and an interesting tribute for those who have already found their way.

[@vincentstuart3148]

underrated master as usual, to hell with Serialism!!!!!!!!!!

[@vincentstuart3148]

Henry If I get heaven I will say hello! I like some of their music ie Mantra for two pianos but I love Tonality

[@natthidasw]

can someone please elaborate this war against serialism? im new to music. what does one battle against serialism with?

[@natthidasw]

and why?

[@TheMelopeus]

Because some people think it is stupid and ugly.

[@klop4228]

Look, I love Enescu as much as the next guy, but there's no reason to wish Serialism to hell. You may not like the sound of it, but a number of people do enjoy it. Even if not for the sound, for the thought behind it.

[@incognitomysterium8405]

who is the performer ? thanks.

[@alexakay4648]

Aurora Ienei, Romanian pianist.
