Description
Orchestra simfonica a Filarmonicii "George Enescu" Director - George Georgescu Label - Electrecord, Romania From sleeve notes: "George Georgescu's recordings date back to the end of the 50's. They stand proof to this day for the great skills deployed by the conductor in order to highlight the meanings of the musical pieces he offered the large public; and this, beyond the recordings' technical limits, inevitable at that time. The present CD brings together two of the greatest personalities of Romanian music. Two outstanding personalities, who had a perfect friendship - to the benefit of our culture. I was fortunate enough to see them in the concert halls of Bucharest: George Enescu between 1941 and 1946, when he left the country for good, and George Georgescu between 1942 and 1964, the year of his dramatic departure from this life... George Georgescu's career looked very much like a fairy tale in which the hero was doomed to be put to more and more difficult trials, which he overcame successfully, every time conquering new heights. Though a virtuoso cello-player, he had, after suffering an accident that stopped his calling as an instrumentalist, the lucidity and courage to reconvert his great musical gifts into a brilliant conductor's technique. At 31, he began a glorious career under the careful guidance of great Arthur Nikisch, at the Berliner Philharmonie. He became quickly known in Germany and when he came to Romania, two years later, his performance was considered simply amazing. He arrived at the beginning of 1920 for two concerts, but he practically conducted during the whole season. The call of his homeland was irresistible, so he decided to stay.
