Respighi / Enescu / Roctet - Changes - String Octets - Music CD

Roctet proposes two String Octets both composed in the same year, 1900. The 18yo Enescu brings fragments of his Romanian background and Viennese and French musical upbringing together into a unity and thus draws us into his inner world. The 21yo Respighigoes the other way: he becomes the filmmaker with the dramatic flair of capturing beautiful images in music. Roctet has already released a Mendelssohn/Afanasyev Octets disc (CC 72822). Diapason:Roctet certainly does not play lukewarm, Lively and full of energy!
