Enesco

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani discusses George Enescu mainly in the "Musicosophie" series (2020-2021). He presents him as a musician who is too little known, whom he calls "immense", and first of all as Dinu Lipatti's teacher1. He links him to the question of national schools and the awakening of nationalities in music, citing the Romanian Rhapsodies as an example of music that draws on folk heritage23. He comes back to this connection in 2022, in a session on Nietzsche, listing Enescu among the emerging national schools4. He also treats Enescu as a representative of the Eastern European violin tradition5 and recommends his sonatas for violin and piano6. Speaking of Clara Haskil, he recalls that Enescu stepped in with the Romanian state to fund her studies7. For him, Enescu thus stands for the link between performance, teaching and national musical identity.
