for chamber orchestra

Adrian Enescu was a composer before his time and his talent and personality surely deserve more attention in today’s musical world. It’s safe to say that his music, powerful and emotional will survive the test of time!

He was a very recognized public figure because of his pop songs and for his film music.

Quoting Dumitru Staniloae, his musical voice and the movie/play had been united in the most intimate and mysterious way and fulfilled them both. His numerous discs were issued in Germany, USA and Romania. …
