Enescu / Stirbat,Raluca Complete Works For Piano Solo CD

George Enescu (1881-1955) is mainly known as a legendary violinist; yet he was not less known as an exceptionally gifted pianist, one who had been admired and worshiped by his colleagues for his musicality. His expressive and elaborate compositions for piano remain underrepresented on compact disc. Rumanian pianist Raluca Stirbat, one of the most outstanding representatives of the young generation of Romanian pianists, has closed this surprising and inexplicable gap with this release of Enescu's works for piano from h?nssler classics, complete on three CDs.
