Two of Enescu's scintillating sonatas are included here, and in his compatriot, the Romanian-born violinist Remus Azoitei, he finds an ideal interpreter.

In a hypnotic account of the Third Sonata, Azoitei and Stan demonstrate complete empathy with the quasi-improvisatory nature of the writing. Superb playing also in the Brahmsian First Sonata.

Remus Azoitei, a distinctive player whose sound world echoes Enescu's own. No need to look any further: this is a first-rate collection.

Rare and elegant Enescu. A superb performance, alive to the music's every nuance.
