(*1881 Liveni, Romania – †1955 Paris)
“In Enescu, music became the voice of humanity per se, a voice uttering what
cannot be said.” Yehudi Menuhin
George Enescu, far from being only Romania’s most important composer, is one
of the most colourful musical personalities of the twentieth century. A real citizen of the world
motivated by humanistic ideas and a patriot at the same time, he was born in the North-East of
his native country but educated in Vienna and Paris, where his extraordinary talent already became
apparent at a young age. Pablo Casals considered him “the greatest musical phenomenon
since Mozart”, and the Viennese press enthused about the “little Romanian Mozart”, who
was admitted to the Viennese Conservatory at the tender age of seven. Enescu’s genius unites a
great composer, an inspiring conductor, one of the most prominent violinists
of his time and a highly esteemed pianist.
