{"product_id":"books-george-enescu-by-noel-malcolm","title":"George Enescu","description":"First full-length study of the composer George Enescu [1881-1955].  The Romanian composer George Enescu (1881-1955] is one of the neglected giants of the twentieth century. Prodigiously gifted, he became best known in America as a conductor (where he was considered as a successor to Toscanini in New York) and in Europe as one of the greatest violinists of the century. But he was first and foremost a composer; and, tragically, his mature works - works of extraordinary emotional depth and intricate beauty - remain almost unknown outside Romania. This, the first full-length study of Enescu and his music to be written in the West, tells the story of his life and development as a composer. All of Enescu's published compositions, and many unpublished works, are discussed, and there is a detailed list of Enescu's compositions and a list of all his known recordings as conductor, violinist and pianist. The book is intended for the non-specialist reader as well as the musicologist.   NOEL MALCOLM, the historian, philosopher and journalist,  is the leading authority on Enescu.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510340477201,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780907689331.jpg?v=1778173943","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-george-enescu-by-noel-malcolm","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
