Continuing a series of the recordings that composer/violinist/conductor George Enescu (Enesco) made for the Remington label circa 1952 . . .
Here is an example of Enescu conducting his own music, in this case his greatest hit, the first Romanian (Rumanian) Rhapsody. It's a fine performance, to be sure, but in somewhat hectic sound - and hoo boy those Remington pressings!
Remington coupled the Enesco with a good version of Liszt's Les Preludes from George Singer and a thin-sounding Austrian Symphony (actually the Tonkünstler orchestra, per Michael Gray, who suggests the recording took place in 1951).
Addendum: my remastering sounds much better than the original transfer.
