Sarah Walker introduces more performances from the 2022 George Enescu International Festival.

The George Enescu International Festival has been held in Bucharest, Romania since 1958 to honour the composer, pianist, violinist and conductor George Enescu, a man who played for Brahms, studied composition with Faur茅 and Massenet and was a friend of some of the greatest composers of the twentieth century, amongst them, Isaac Alb茅niz. Enescu's pupil, Yehudi Menuhin described him as "The Absolute, by whom I judge all others." It is to honour his memory that many leading musicians come to Bucharest to take part in what is now one of the world's leading music festivals. Today, Nelson Goerner brings his exquisite touch to Alb茅niz's impressionistic masterpiece and the Sitkovetsky Trio rejoice in one of Beethoven's most cheerful works.
