Vlad:Ndr Chor:Ruzicka - Enescu: Symphony 5

These two works by the Rumanian composer Enescu defy classification and exist only in particella form. During the 1990s Pascal Bentoiu completed them and instrumented them in such a way that he might well qualify for consideration as their coauthor. In Isis, a symphonic poem for female choir and orchestra, the euphonious female voices are integrated into the orchestra in the manner of instruments. Enescu's fifth symphony calls for a full complement of musicians lending it a powerful sound quality and is of folkloristic coloration.
