Cantacuzino Palace was built at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Romanian architect Dimitrie Berindei, French academic style, rococo with a little Art Nouveau, at the request of one of the richest Romanians principle twentieth century - the former prime minister, the conservative politician, Gheorghe (George in English) Grigore Cantacuzino, nicknamed the Nabob. Well, this Grigore the Nabob had two children, of whom the eldest was named Miguel Mihai or English. Well, Mihai and Miguel married Princess Maruca Rosetti. In 1929, Mihai, the son of the Nabob Grigore and Ling's husband died. At 8 years after the death of her first husband in 1937, Rosetti Maruca Cantacuzino married George Enescu '- the largest Romanian classical music composer. George Enescu, a former child prodigy as a child was 3 years younger years Maruca. He did not live in this great palace, but in the rooms of the servants, who are behind the palace. How could I write now on this great composer George Enescu? How could write a paragraph about the cares of this composer to transcend himself, to become rich by their own forces, their inferiority complex opulence and arrogance of his wife Ling? No, I can not write about this and I will not write. Because the composer George Enescu can you, the readers of this text on my blog, understand just listening to her music, listening to the Romanian Rhapsody Ia and II-a Romanian Rhapsody, listening to the Opera Oedipa King, whose music he wrote.
George Enescu was born August 19, 1881 in the village Liveni, Department of Botosani, North of Moldavia and was the thirteenth child and the only survivor of the 13 children in the family of Orthodox priest of the village and school teacher from the same village of Liveni. In other words, represented the intelligentsia of a village in northern Moldova. George Enescu was supported, after his father discovered his musical talents, shortly after 7 years old, by the royal family of Romania, respectively, by Elisabeth Neuwied, wife of the first German king of Romania "- Karl Hohenzollern. The patio at Peles Castle in Sinaia - the royal summer residence of the kings of Romania - when he was 18 years old, he saw for the first time to Maruca Rosetti, at that time was 21 years old. The saw and she fell in love with yourself promising that is going to marry her when he's going to grow. And he married her when she had gone through a marriage, a widow, had two grown children and had been abandoned by a lover 13 years younger than her, by the philosopher Nae Ionescu. But it was not happy with her because she was cheating on him several times.
After coming to power in Romania, the communist regime in 1947, George Enescu got away in France and settled in Paris, where he died 4of May 1955. Among the students of George Enescu named Christian Ferras, Ivry Gitlis, Arthur Grumiaux and Yehudi Menuhin. His wife - Maruca Cantacuzino, he survived 13 years after his death.
