Sherban Lupu

Sherban Lupu is a Romanian violinist, conductor, and musicologist celebrated for resurrecting underappreciated classical works, particularly from Eastern European composers. A dedicated advocate for niche repertoire, he’s best known for projects like *The Unknown Enescu* albums, which unearthed forgotten pieces by George Enescu, and his ongoing mission to record Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst’s notoriously challenging violin works (check out his multi-volume *Complete Works* series!). Based in the U.S., Lupu blends scholarly rigor with expressive performances, often collaborating with labels like Toccata Classics to spotlight hidden gems. When he’s not reviving obscure Baroque or Romantic-era music, he’s likely teaching at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he’s shaped generations of musicians. Fun fact: His recordings frequently feel like time capsules, mixing technical precision with a passion for storytelling through overlooked masterpieces.
