Pablo Casals once described Enescu as "the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart". After listening to Oedipe this does not sound like an overstatement at all. Oedipe is without any doubt one of the greatest masterpieces of the 20th century. Why is not more often performed remains a mystery to me...I will not spend more time in describing how wonderful this recording is - others have already done it very well. I just want to mention here some of my other favorites of Enescu's works: his Symphonies nos. 2 & 3, Vox Maris (Symphonic Poem) and his Suites nos. 1 & 3 for orchestra. No serious classical music collection would be complete without these. Finally, for those of you that want to find more about this great composer I want to mention a wonderful biography that I just got from England: "George Enescu - His Life and Music" by Noel Malcolm published by Toccata Press in UK. The genius of Enescu is slowly but surely being (re)discovered.
