George Enescu is known to most music fans only as the composer of the Romanian Rhapsodies. And yet the work catalogue of this fascinating Romanian composer who spent most of his life in France includes numbers representing almost all the musical genres: chamber music, cantatas, songs, five symphonies, and the opera Oedipe, on which he worked for twenty-five years. We are now rereleasing Enescu’s only two String Quartets op. 22. The interpretation by the Quatuor Athenaeum Enesco comes with a special guarantee of authenticity inasmuch as its members are young Romanian musicians who have made Paris their musical home.
