Ion Voicu was a legend in his own country, Romania, and in the profession at large and appeared in most major musical centres. Yet he was not as well known in the English speaking countries as he should have been. The long cold war and the dictatorial regime in his native land were mainly to blame for this state of affairs, but fortunately Voicu was able to make a few precious recordings on visits to the west. Ion Voicu died in Bucharest on 24 February 1997. 'He was an outstanding violinist with a superb technique,' says his Romanian successor Sherban Lupu. 'His performances of the Paganini First Concerto were spectacularly memorable. I grew up as a small boy with him as a model for me, an aspiring young student. He was a very pleasant man. I got to know him better in 1974 when he was a member of the jury at the Carl Flesch competition in London and I was a prizewinner.' His Decca recordings ranged from the popular Mendelssohn and Bruch Concertos, a favourite coupling in the LP era to the highly discriminating. This collection, bringing together his three recordings for Decca, include several twentieth-century sonatas for violin and piano with Monique Haas and Voicu's compatriot Victoria Stefanescu.
