George Tomaziu Author

George Tomaziu was the godson of Romania’s most celebrated composer and musician, Georges Enescu, who was married to Princess Cantacuzino and lived in a palace. Nothing in his early life suggested the toughness needed to withstand abuse. On the contrary, his artistic spirit expressed itself in a voracious bi-sexuality and hunger for pleasure. At one point during the war, he was artistic director of the Odessa Opera; a year later, he was in Romania’s most notorious prison. He died in 1990.
