Impressions - Music of Georges Enesco

Georges Enesco was a remarkable composer and violinist. This recording brings together his best known sonata with two previously unrecorded works (the "Piece sur le nom de Faure" and "Aubade"). The music is influenced by French Impressionism and saturated with Romanian gypsy music.

The music for violin and piano on this recording is performed by the Orfeo Duo - Vita Wallace, violin and Ishmael Wallace, piano. Of this remarkable brother and sister duo, Richard Goode says, "They are a remarkable duo, with qualities of serious musicianship and interpretive depth that are very rare these days."
