Composer of the Week

George Enescu (1881 - 1955)

3/5. First World War

Enescu's belief that music could attain an uplifting of the spirit and a transformation of the soul was formed during the First World War in Romania, where after 1916 he was playing to wounded and dying soldiers almost every day.

As well as making a huge contribution to making the war bearable for his fellow countrymen, Enescu composed several works which often seem removed from the destruction around him. Presented by Donald Macleod.
