Vladimir Cosma belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Vladimir Cosma as Romanian-French Composer, violinist and conductor (born 1940).
Vladimir Cosma was born at Bucharest in 1940. His recorded nationality is Romania. He trained at École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot and National University of Music Bucharest.
Broadcast radio, the LP and the touring circuit made this the first era in which a musician could reach a mass audience without ever meeting it.
He worked as conductor, composer and violinist.
The instruments recorded are violin.
His work is classed as opera, symphonic music and jazz.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour, Order of Cultural Merit, Grand Officer of the Order of Cultural Merit and Officer of the Legion of Honour (2023).
That the work came out of Romania shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
