Josu De Solaun - George Enescu: Complete Works for Solo Piano

This set of George Enescu�s solo piano music traces a fascinating musical arc from his precocious years in Vienna and Paris, where he absorbed Brahmsian and French late-Romantic influences, notably in the Impromptus, to the brilliantly mercurial Piano Sonata No. 3. Whether in the Pi�ces impromptues, eloquent character pieces, or in the oceanic Piano Sonata No. 1, Enescu remains, in Pablo Casals� words, 'the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart', his unique musical language embracing Bach as well as the abiding vitality, and melancholy, of his native Romanian folk music.
