Horia Andreescu

Permanent Conductor

For many years director of the Radio musical ensembles, founder of Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra in Bucharest, Horia Andreescu is now the main conductor of the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra. If you listen to Eroica, Enescu's Symphony No. 3, Haydn's symphonies and misses, Lutoslawski's Chain 1 and Chain 2, or Mahler's Symphony No. 6, you can find out how wide the artistic inclinations of Horia Andreescu are. You find out with how much fervour he seeks the truth of a musical piece and how he reaches it thanks to his talent, fertile imagination, knowledge and strength of mind. Indeed, he has the strength of mind to approach in a lively and fresh manner, through his musical perception, even such well-known tunes of the universal repertoire as the above mentioned.
