Synopsis

Album Description
This new album from Virgin Classics features two pieces by legendary Romanian composer and violinist George Enescu: his stirring, late-romantic String Octet in a new orchestration by conductor Lawrence Foster; and his rhapsodic, folk-influenced Violin Sonata No.3, played by up-and-coming violinist Valery Sokolov. Sokolov's intense, impassioned interpretation of the Sonata No.3 inspired acclaimed director Bruno Monsaingeon to record a documentary for Virgin Classics about this young, award-winning soloist, entitled Natural Born Fiddler.
