Info for Enescu: Symphonie concertante, Op. 8 & Symphony No. 1, Op. 13

The final release of the George Enescu (1881–1955) symphony cycle includes two neglected masterpieces: the 1st Symphony filled with youth fulenergy and the poetic and lyric Symphonie concertante for Cello andOrchestra. The soloist of the Symphony concertante is the award-winning cellist Truls Mørk.

Enescu wrote both of the works at a relatively young age: the Symphonie concertante was written at the age of 20 and the 1st Symphony was premiered when the composer was 25 years of age. Even so, Enescu had already created himself an impressive career as a composer with several large-scale works.

The Ondine recordings with Hannu Lintu and the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra have proved to be extremely successful. The first release of the Enescu cycle received Gramophone Awards Nomination 2013. Hannu Lintu and the orchestra also received GRAMMY nomination for their recording of Rautavaara's Kaivos Opera.
