Also available on YT, but this is the complete concert in a better source
(very good for a live recording of the late 40s).
Beethoven's Concerto, performed with extreme freedom and intensity,
not only highlights the musicality but also the humanity and even the fragility
of an immense musician perhaps still underestimated as a composer.
Maybe it helps us understand why Menuhin, despite his relationships
with Elgar, Bartók (!), Furtwängler - and many others - considered Enescu
to be the greatest musician he ever met.
