"George Enescu was one of the most prodigiously gifted musicians of the twentieth century,"; according to noted biographer Paul Banks, "a great violinist and composer, a distinguished conductor, an accomplished pianist, able cellist and a famous violin teacher who numbered Christian Ferras, Arthur Grumiaux and Yehudi Menuhin among his pupils. His musical memory was phenomenal, a fact that contributed to the loss of some of his own works which he composed but never wrote down."

George Enescu's Bucharest residence (Cantacuzino Palace) is now a museum and home to Romania's Association of Music Composers. Designed in 1899 by architect I.D. Berindei, the Cantacuzino Palace is a fine example of Art Nouveau architecture. It now includes three exhibit halls, two concert rooms and spectacular ballroom.
Among the items displayed is George Enescu's first violin, presented to him at age four.
