Romanian Rhapsody




"Romanian Rhapsody" composed by George Enescu
Conductor: Sergiu Celibidache


From Wikipedia: 
"In 1923 he made his debut as a conductor in a concert given by the Philadelphia Orchestra in New York City, and made frequent visits to the United States subsequently. It was in America, in the 1920s, that Enescu was first persuaded to make recordings as a violinist. He also appeared as a conductor with many American orchestras, and in 1936 he was one of the candidates considered to replace Toscanini as permanent conductor of the New York Philharmonic.[1] In 1935, he conducted the Orchestre Symphonique de Paris and Yehudi Menuhin (who had been his pupil for several years starting in 1927) in Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major. He also conducted the New York Philharmonic between 1937 and 1938. In 1939 he married Maria Rosetti (known as the Princess Cantacuzino through her first husband Mihail Cantacuzino), a good friend of the future Queen MarieBucharest, Enescu lived in the Cantacuzino Palace on Calea Victoriei (now the Muzeu NaĊ£ional George Enescu, dedicated to his work)."
