Yesterday evening, on the stage of the Romanian Athenaeum, a recital-event took place from the "Heirs of Musical Romania" series, initiated and carried out by Radio România Muzical along with Rotary Club Pipera, Artexim and the Cultural Foundation "Remember Enescu" with the aim of promoting the Romanian laureates of the "George Enescu" International Competition.

Two young and valuable musicians were on stage: Maria Marica, the violinist who won in 2022 the First Prize at the "George Enescu" International Competition, and the pianist Daria Tudor, a semi-finalist of the same competition.

Cristina Comandașu, manager of Radio România Muzical, presented yesterday's event, and in the opening of the program, Robert Schumann's Piano SonataNo. 3was performed. Next, the two musicians transposed us into a story full of fantasy through the Five Melodies op. 35 encore by Sergei Prokofiev, to finally shine in the well-known Sonata in A major belonging to the creation of César Franck.

The intense and harmonious collaboration between Maria Marica and Daria Tudor was long applauded and appreciated by the audience at the Romanian Athenaeum.

Among those present was Cristina Uruc, the manager of Artexim: "It was an extraordinary recital! Both Maria Marica and Daria Tudor are incredible instrumentalists. The program was very well chosen, very beautiful, it connected wonderfully and the Sonata by Cesar Franck was a delight, which in places also has some sonorities from Enescu and makes us think of him, and Maria was incredible in this sonata... as in the entire repertoire, by the way, as was Daria."

Here are other impressions collected from the audience:
