Interpretationsforum - Lecture Recital: George Enescu - Genius and dignity of soul between the popular and the innovative

A journey into the world of an ‘incandescent’ musician, a brilliant mind who could never forget what he heard, a composer, conductor, teacher, a man full of humour and, as his dearest pupil Yehudi Menuhin described him, ‘the most generous, altruistic and extraordinary human being’ he had ever met. In this lecture we will try to get more in touch with the music of George Enescu, still too little known, with his personal history and his origins: his relationship with Romanian folk music and his extremely profound and emotional way of being and composing.
