Enescu, George (1881-1955)

Description:

Jorge Enescu is a Romanian composer. While being an excellent violinist, he also wrote many works. Many of his early works, which show the influence of Brahms, Wagner, and Fauré, with whom he studied in France, are fluent and well-written. This album contains the Piano Quartet No. 1, written in 1909, and the Piano Trio, composed in 1916 but unknown until 1965. Compared to the Piano Quartet, which was written in a simple style, the Piano Trio, which is compact but has a more complex style, shows that Enescu had been carefully developing the work from his youth. The Piano Trio is a compact piano trio in a more complex style than the Piano Quartet, which was written in a simpler style. Naxos Japan
