GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor Cristian Măcelaru, Artistic Director of the George Enescu Festival, and his Orchestre National de France are the perfect ambassadors for the symphonic works of George Enescu (1881-1955). The "Romanian Rhapsodies" contained on this album (especially No. 1) achieved great fame and are considered key works of Romanian classical music. Enescu, a multi-talented composer and violin virtuoso, was a teacher of Yehudi Menuhin, among others, and lived in Romania, the USA and France. Inspired by the musical heritage of his home country, he created a completely unique oeuvre. Pablo Casals called him "the most amazing musician since Mozart".
"The youthful splendor of the Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 heralds the artistic development of this great genius and my personal hero, George Enescu." - Cristian Măcelaru
The Romanian Rhapsodies Nos. 1 and 2 conducted by Cristian Măcelaru are being released for the first time on high-quality 180 g vinyl. The set also includes an art card in vinyl format signed by Cristian Măcelaru, limited to 150 copies.
