The 2022 George Enescu International Festival.

The George Enescu International Festival has been held in Bucharest, Romania since 1958 to honour and celebrate the memory, the music and the personality of Romanian composer, pianist, violinist and conductor George Enescu, considered 鈥渢he greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart.鈥� This week there are chamber music performances from some of the many leading musicians who came to Bucharest last September to take part in what is now one of the world's leading music festivals. Today's programme starts with a student work by Ravel whose better-known second violin sonata was premiered by Enescu who, like Ravel, was a former pupil of Gabriel Faur茅 at the Paris Conservatoire. Also today, Chopin from the Argentine-born pianist Nelson Goerner described as: 'A master goldsmith of the piano.'
