Sherban Lupu (violin)

George Enescu (1881–1955) is one of the great composers, although the world has yet to realise the extent of his achievement. Enescu’s small published œuvre of 33 opus numbers belies the amount of music he produced: he composed prolifically but, as he was both a perfectionist and a busy performer, much of his music is still unknown.

This CD reveals solo, chamber and concertante pieces featuring the violin, played by Sherban Lupu, who understands Enescu’s idiom like few other musicians.

“Throughout the disc Lupu's playing is truly idiomatic, with something of Enescu's own elegantly expressive manner.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2012

“Lupu has arranged several of the pieces in various ways and he also conducts the small ensemble at the University of Illinois that bears Enescu’s name. It’s clearly a labour of love for the Romanian fiddle player.” MusicWeb International, December 2012

Remus Azoitei (violin) & Eduard Stan (piano)

Hannsler Classics is proud to present to conclusion to the series of the complete works for violin and piano of George Enescu. This recording contains the 1st and 3rd Violin Sonatas in addition to several shorter works and two world premiere recordings.

“…Azoitei and Stan combine temperament, mastery of idiom and executive elegance in a very special way. They shape the music beautifully, so that what in some hands sounds like mere extended improvisation (a desirable attribute admittedly) also parades discernable form.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2009

“In a hypnotic account of the Third Sonata, Azoitei and Stan demonstrate complete empathy with the quasi-improvisatory nature of the writing. Superb playing also in the Brahmsian First Sonata.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 *****
