Janine Jansen and Friends: Enescu Strijkoctet op.7 Meer klassiek op klassiek.avro.nl Opgenomen 28 december 2009 in Vredenburg Leidsche Rijn, Utrecht. George Enescu: Strijkoctet / String Octet in C gr.t. op.77
I have been a orchestral violinist and an avid chamber music player for over forty years, and i thought i new it all. But like most things in life the older you get the less you really now. I have never heard Enescus octet before, its a great work, and Janine and friends play beautifully.
Bon Dieu! C'est juste la représentation d'une brillante et épique pièce de musique. Le dialogue ici est comme si nous parlions de l'interprétation correcte de l'Écriture. Ce que nous avons ici est une performance flamboyante, bien exécutée, bien pensée et émotionnellement sensible.
I have listened to this three times now today; It seems to get better and better. This work has kindled an interest in me to hear more Enescu. I really was only familiar with his two Romanian Rhapsodies.
I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of this composer! I had to Duck Duck Go him to find out more about this amazing Romanian composer! Thank you AVROTROS Klassiek for uploading something I'd never heard before! And enjoyed immensely!
OMG! this is a masterpiece, brilliant! Outstanding performance and the piece of a genius! Enescu impresed me to tears....I have already listened the symphonies, rapsody,....and many others and now I am dealing with Oedip Roi, his opera masterpiece. I am stunned! What a brilliant composer...!
Az Enescu octetjei a Roman klaszikus zenemüvek gyöngyszemei,kellemes hangzásu és megnyuktató jellemü ,a zenei tájkertészetben való barangolásra késztett.
Great perfomance ! ( Tale il furore e la veemenza dei temi Allegro che i violisti e i violoncellisti non riuscivano a stare fermi coi piedi : mai visto nulla del genere ! ). Bravi, anzi bravissimi. (Va, altresì, ricordata la giovanissima età). Ancora, bravissimi.
A wonderful piece, wonderfully performed. ( IMHO, and if the composer had asked me, an added double bass would have aided the balance. I fell the same about the Brahms sextets, and the Schubert Quintet.)
It's interesting that you say that, because Enecue (I believe) proposed himself that this could be played by a string orchestra with solos added in where the group decides they are appropriate.
I wish I could share the enthusiasm of the audience and the endorsement of the comments listed, but most of the time I felt as though I was in a whirlpool of noise brought about by an overloading sound layers moving in random directions. But I will try again at a later date.
