george enescu memorial house

184gabriella

After you listen his amazing operas, after you know that he was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, after you see that George Enescu was living in a modest house surrounded by the sound of the nature, you realize that George Enescu was geniuses of International music. If you want to increase your knowledge about his music, go to George Enescu's festival, visit his memorial house, and tell your friends your experience!

The house of the great classical composer is a little gem.Build next to the train line at the request and following the designs of the composer (a big train traveler at his time), the home is preserved as it would have looked when inhabited, with some memorabilia tacked in display cases in the small guest rooms under the attic.A very lively place, often went there and stayed at Piatra Soimului next door to catch a concert...

Pablo Casals described Enescu as "the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart". The Enescu memorial house is a quite place, with well conserved instruments / furniture and friendly rooms. Actually if you spend a while there, alone, you can "feel" the atmosphere which took place 100 yrs ago. I recommend.

Incredible setting and atmosphere, serene and charming. A venue for classical music concerts in September, during the George Enescu Festival.

Ok, the house is not very exceptional, but let you understand better the life of George Enescu, a real genius. The guide was very very helpful, giving us lots of information, answering our questions. We could feel that she really loves to speak about George Enescu and share all this information with us.

Nice to see but not scintillating. We were in town so we chose to visit. Wouldn't make the trip for this attraction.

Ticket price 6lei (1.3euro) is cheap but there is a 30lei fee for taking pictures or filming. In my opinion the photo tax is not worth the money being the same with Peleș castle photo tax. The exhibition is rather small, there are not many things to see. Still if you are in classical music then is fine. Enescu was a great artist, internationaly acclaimed. Do not forget to check the balcony which is big and has a nice view. They do not have any cd to buy with Enescu's music, only some dvds with a documentary about him.Overall the tour of the house takes maximum 20 mn so if you're in the area I recommend to have a quick look but don't set your expectations too high.

More could be done to keep alight the memory of our greatest composer. We liked the exhibits on offer but a bigger collection would bring extra value

I was impressed! I've felt like I was entered in Enescu's heart... I recommend it for all music lovers.

The place shows Enescu's house and personality. A thing that I noticed is that he lived in a small room with a little bed while his wife was sleeping in a huge room with a huge bed.Also he liked trains very much so the villa is close to the railroads.The museum is nice to visit. They give you and audio guide which is very interesting and practical.

This is one of the first museums in Romania where we took an audio guide.The house is very interesting, quite modest and brings you closer to the life of the great composer.Neighbourhood is also quite nice for a walk.

We had an English audio tour around the house. This was helpful and interesting but sometimes rather fast. Overall, it was an interesting house to visit in terms of its architecture and interior.

If you want to see why the brilliant minds are ever joint by modesty and good sense and balanced representation, than you have to visit the house where the famous artist leaved and created.The presentation can be listen individually using the specific device (I don't remember exactly its name).The 2 level house has a splendid view (Cumpatul that in Romanian language even means Balance).Located at the same distance as the Castle, but in the opposite side, this Memorial House represents a particular moment to spend while visiting Sinaia.

WerGeorge Enescu und seine Musik kennt und liebt kann einfach nicht an dieses haus vorbeigehen ohne herein zu schauen. Der berühmte Komponist hat dieses Hause besonders im Herzen geschlossen. Viel von der Einrichtung zeugt von der Persönlichkeit dieses Mannes.
