Very very bad recording

"The music is beautiful, the interpretation is certainly pleasant, but the CD is so badly recorded that it destroys the quality of the work. I'd love to find another one."

A fine recording

"I prefer this interpretation to that on the Arte Nova issue, recorded in Munich. It is more relaxed and more idiomatic, not surprising as the artistes come from Romania, where Enescu's music is known and played more often than elsewhere. The music is beautiful and the first sonata is easily accessible. I found the second sonata needed aeveral hearings, as usual with Enescu's later works, but also very rewarding.



The sound balance between the two instruments is good, as is the atudio acoustic and technical quality.
