Un voyage sonore en Roumanie : A travers les temps et les mondes (2022)

Synopsis

From Bucharest to the remote villages of the Carpathians, from the national composer Georges Enesco to his contemporary heirs, a journey in the footsteps of Romanian musical traditions. “Romanian popular music forms an imposing whole, a precious treasure from which our composers draw their inspiration,” said Georges Enesco, trained on the violin by a Gypsy teacher. Punctuated by quotes from the composer and interpretations of his works, this documentary sets out in search of a treasure of many nuances, which continues to liven up village festivals and influence the young Romanian scene. From the scores of Dan Dediu, one of today's greatest composers, to the folk songs of the Maramures, a journey to discover this fascinating mosaic of musical cultures.
