Enescu - Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 1 in F minor, Op. 26 (1898) [1] Allegro molto moderato [2] Allegretto scherzando 14:30 [3] Molto andante 22:09 [4] Presto 34:16 Andrei Csaba (cello) Dan Grigore (piano)
Enesco's music is all just wondrous and so poetic and full of drama. You can feel the man's soul. This is a very long sonata at 40 minutes!! Long enough to be a *long* concerto, in fact! I remember talking to one of my teachers - I am a violinist - about Enesco many years ago. He said that Enesco was very popular during his time as an eccentric musician. He mentioned that he was a violinist but also played the cello and piano competently. How many people can do that?! My teacher may have met him, I wish I could remember. Enesco was a genius, there is no question of that. Thankfully many of his pieces are here for free listening on RU-vid.
Acest sonata de marele George Enescu este cu adevărat remarcabil, şi artiştilor interpreţi sau executanţi sunt minunat. Multe multumiri, si salutari din Tokyo.
Atunci când lumea se înclină în jurul ei înșiși, când structurile unei civilizații falteră, este bine să ne întoarcem la ceea ce nu se îndoaie în istorie, ci, dimpotrivă, recuperează curajul, adună pe cei separați, pacifica fără vânătăi. Merită amintit faptul că geniul creației este, de asemenea, la locul de muncă într-o istorie din ce în ce mai devotată distrugerii
Thank you so much for this, Stanimir! I, like so many of the other commentators, had no idea of Enescu's work beyond the Rumanian Rhapsody n. 1 -- which I have loved since childhood.
You are most welcome. And thank you for taking the time to comment. If you liked this you might want to take a gander at the other Enescu works posted on my channel.

Meravigliosa sonata, molto emozionante e profonda. Grade compositore. in alcuni momenti lo associo alla sonata per violoncello e pianoforte di Poulenc... sarà che entrambi misero l'anima nei loro capolavori...
ah teus olhos ciganos, destas terras fundas do mundo, destas terras fundas do medo, esses olhos negros como a morte, abertos como a vida, que pasma e alumbra, ah tua pele de carne , tua boca de mulher, teu aspecto de cem eras, a barbaridade de teus cabelos, tua indefinição que se ferra no corpo mais remoto, que te escuta, que tem tua cor sombria e multicolorida, teu ouvido sou todo eu, e ele te vê, tempestade de areia em que espeto um cravo.
I know it’s pretty late to tell you this, after 6 years, but calling Romanians as gipsies, especially him, is nothing less than an insult to him and his entire nation. We should not be compared to the ones belonging to a nomad tribe, travelling from the northern part of what’s nowadays India, seeking a patch of land to call home, because no-one wanted to host peoples of a tribal statute and who act with full greed even while befriending others. They don’t belong to Europe, or to any modern society. They are not Romanians, and we are not gipsies, I hope I made myself clear, and wish you a good day sir!
Enesco belongs to thois generation of composers who believrd that the flokloric music of their native country could be a fresh ane renewed source of inspiration. Thois concpt is a bit limited oce the first expériences made. These composers were challenged by Bartok, who went far beyond this flokloric inspiration to create a new language. Eneco belongs more or less to this family of compoers. His inspiration is rather postromantic with contrapunctic episodes, as shown in this piano/cello sonata. It is not a great mastrwork to be fully honest, but it is quite pleasant to hear.

At two minutes in I wanted the march-like theme to change. Commenting on below, Mozart indeed composed at a young age but did not write much of emotional weight until the violin concerti of 1775 (I think). Not like Enescu or Mendelssohn whose youthful works are deep. This cellist is often out of tune. Guess I wish there was more positive to observe here.
