Info for Georges Enesco au Conservatoire de Paris (1895-1899)
Pupil of a pupil of the violinist Christian Ferras, early on Julien Szulman became fascinated by the figure of his mentor George Enescu. Composer, violinist, pianist, conductor: Enescu’s multiple musical talents make him an integral part of the history of music in the first half of the 20th century. For his Doctorate in Musical Interpretation – Research and Practice, which he is studying at the Conservatoire de Paris in partnership with Sorbonne University, he has focused specifically on the period that Enescu spent studying at the Conservatoire de Paris. A coherent body of works for piano and violin, composed by or for him, was the obvious choice for the programme of this recording: his first two Sonatas (1897 and 1899), and two pieces that were dedicated to him, André Gédalge’s first Sonata (1897) and a short piece by Martin-Pierre Marsick, Attente (1900). This programme reveals the strong personality of the young George Enescu and the musical environment in Conservatoire de Paris classes at the end of the 19th century.

Julien Szulman
began playing the violin at the age of five, going on to study music in Tours, and in Paris with Suzanne Gessner and Patrice Fontanarosa. He graduated with distinction with a higher degree from the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP) in June 2006. He then took up postgraduate studies at the CNSMDP with Jean-Jacques Kantorow and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, going on to study the Konzertexamen curriculum in Stephan Picard’s class and later becoming the class assistant at the Hochschule Hanns Eisler in Berlin. He is currently studying for a Music, Research and Practice doctorate (CNSMDP — Sorbonne University) on the violinist George Enescu. Winner of several international competitions – in particular the Geneva and the Long-Thibaud-Crespin, at the age of just 20 – Julien Szulman divides his time between concert performances with orchestra, playing chamber music, and his position as solo violinist with the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire (ONPL). A member of the Saito Kinen Orchestra in Japan, he has recently been invited to perform as solo violinist with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio-France and the London Symphony Orchestra. He is a teacher at the Seiji Ozawa Quartet Academy Okushiga in Japan and musical advisor with the Seiji Ozawa International Academy Switzerland.
