One of the greatest chamber works of all time, without a shadow of a doubt.

Great textural variety from an octet that is all strings! Enescu is shamefully underrated.

And Enescu wrote this at age nineteen...

I love the crazy Schubert Quintet homage in the closing bars. Glorious performance as always from Janine and friends!

I have been a orchestral violinist and an avid chamber music player for over forty years, and i thought i new it all. But like most things in life the older you get the less you really now. I have never heard Enescus octet before, its a great work, and Janine and friends play beautifully.

An outstanding (and intense) performance! I have been a fan of Georges Enesco since I was 19. A brilliant composer.

Exquisite. Enescu is one of the finer of the fine Romanian 'cultural products' :)

Performers: Janine Jansen (violin), Boris Brovtsyn (violin), Julia-Maria Kretz (violin), Alexander Sitkovetsky (violin), Amihai Grosz (viola), Julian Rachlin (viola), Maarten Jansen (cello), Jens Peter Maintz (cello)

Bon Dieu! C'est juste la représentation d'une brillante et épique pièce de musique. Le dialogue ici est comme si nous parlions de l'interprétation correcte de l'Écriture. Ce que nous avons ici est une performance flamboyante, bien exécutée, bien pensée et émotionnellement sensible.

What a brilliant performance! Thank you so much, Mrs. Jansen and friends.

I swear I cry every time I watch Janine Jansen, she plays with such intensity and delight. It's glorious.

I have listened to this three times now today; It seems to get better and better. This work has kindled an interest in me to hear more Enescu. I really was only familiar with his two Romanian Rhapsodies.

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of this composer! I had to Duck Duck Go him to find out more about this amazing Romanian composer! Thank you AVROTROS Klassiek for uploading something I'd never heard before! And enjoyed immensely!

OMG! this is a masterpiece, brilliant! Outstanding performance and the piece of a genius! Enescu impresed me to tears....I have already listened the symphonies, rapsody,....and many others and now I am dealing with Oedip Roi, his opera masterpiece. I am stunned! What a brilliant composer...!

This is amazing music...:-)

Energische und zugleich lyrische Aufführung dieses anspruchsvollen Streichoktetts mit perfekter Synchronisierung aller Streicher. Einfach wunderschön!

I love this piece so much! THank you SO Much for the upload!!!!

Az Enescu octetjei a Roman klaszikus zenemüvek gyöngyszemei,kellemes hangzásu és megnyuktató jellemü ,a zenei tájkertészetben való barangolásra késztett.

If you liked this,try the Decet(dixtuor) and the Chamber Symphony.There is a recording(on youtube) of the Dixtuor conducted by Enescu

And Brilliant Janine.& colleagues....brilliant!

I Love this Great Song!

Superb,,thx for upload!

One of my favorite "power" endings, along with Beethoven's 5th symphony and Shostakovich's 7th symphony. Also both in C major!

Me encanta el solo de viola en el minuto 15:21 asombroso!!!

In minute 29:50 we can see real viola power, bravo!

Energetic and at the same time lyrical performance of this challenging string octet with perfect synchronization of all the strings. Simply beautiful!

Dit is erg mooi muziek! Ik van hou Enescu! Geweldig!!!

Great perfomance ! ( Tale il furore e la veemenza dei temi Allegro che i violisti e i violoncellisti non riuscivano a stare fermi coi piedi : mai visto nulla del genere ! ). Bravi, anzi bravissimi. (Va, altresì, ricordata la giovanissima età). Ancora, bravissimi.

... Janine and Friends, octeto in C gr.t. op. 77, ¡sensacional! ...

really great! besides the fantastic performance you have the opportunity to see Janine's killer face at 16:05 :))

Excelent.

Thanks!

A wonderful piece, wonderfully performed. ( IMHO, and if the composer had asked me, an added double bass would have aided the balance. I fell the same about the Brahms sextets, and the Schubert Quintet.)

when these people play together , they always Synchronize their vibratos......

Wow! 😮🤩🤯😱

nice

Can someone list the players besides Janine Jansen? Would love to know the names of the individual musicians

Bravo!!! La Divina JANINE!

Was für eine Komposition... ... ...

Mooier dan dit wordt niet , Bravo .

God.

anyone know the names of the 'Friends'? Thanks.

I wonder if anyone else thinks that the 3rd movement of this octet sounds a lot like the 2nd movement of Brahms' 4 symphony.

Esa mujer... O.O jeje

Geilllllll...!!!!!!

it's weird to see janine sitting down! she can barely contain herself. love that ardent expression!!

names?

*****!

I wish I could share the enthusiasm of the audience and the endorsement of the comments listed, but most of the time I felt as though I was in a whirlpool of noise brought about by an overloading sound layers moving in random directions. But I will try again at a later date.
