Rémus Tzincoca has an interesting musical biography. Originally from Romania, he was incarcerated for a time during World War II. Arriving in France after the war (where he had once studied at the Paris Conservatoire), he became active in the Parisian musical scene, conducting orchestras and befriending various composers -- chief among them Florent Schmitt. He served as an assistant to Georges Enescu for some years. Later he emigrated to North America, working in New York City where he formed and led the Orchestra da Camara and also conducted the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in Florent Schmitt's "La Tragedie de Salome." His career ultimately took him to Canada, where he lived the final decades of his life in Montreal, teaching at the Conservatoire de Montreal and performing. He died in 2012 at the age of 97. This 1962 broadcast recording of Schmitt's technically challenging second suite from "Antoine et Cléopâtre" finds Maestro Tzincoca true to form, delivering equal parts orchestral color and drama.
