Andrei Tudor (Romanian pronunciation: [anˈdrei tuˈdor]; (born Isaac Rozenzweig; August 31, 1907, Brăila - June 18, 1959, Bucharest) was a Romanian poet, translator and musicologist.[1][2]

Life

Tudor was born to a Jewish family in Brăila, the son of Mayer and Tony Rozenzweig. After graduating from the Nicolae Bălcescu National College in 1926, he attended law school at University of Bucharest.[1][2][4][5]
He was licensed to practice in 1930, though ultimately never pursued a career in law. Instead, Tudor decided to pursue a literary and journalistic career in the capital; allowing himself a more intellectually conducive environment in which he could write about his true interests.
In 1940, Romania legislated its equivalent of the Nuremberg Laws, at approximately the same time when Tudor’s career began to gain traction. Much like other prominent Jewish writers of the time, his name was suppressed from media.
While in Prague in 1959, he fell ill. He ultimately sought treatment in Bucharest, but shortly thereafter succumbed to his illness as a result of medical negligence while hospitalized.

Career

Tudor debuted his literary career in 1927 with a translation of French poet Francis Jammes. [6][Note 1] His first the poem, Trupește, [7] was printed in 1928. Tudor's poetry and prose appeared in avant-garde publications.[1][4][8][Note 2] Several newspapers and periodicals regularly printed his musical, theatre and cinema reviews.[1][8][Note 3] In 1935 his first and only poetry volume, Love 1926,[9] was awarded the poetry prize by Fundaţia Pentru Literaturǎ şi Artǎ "Regele Carol II".[Note 4] It was published in 1937. Along with other members [Note 5] of the Criterion group, Tudor was closely associated [2] with, the now defunct, Pro-Arte music conservatory.[10] After the war he translated Social realist poets from the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Korea.[1][Note 6] but his interests increasingly turned to music. He held lectures to popularize classical music before live audiences and on the radio. Tudor, an early Enescu scholar, curated [1] the newly (1956) established museum [2] dedicated to the composer. In May 1955 he wrote a proposal for an international Enescu festival [3]. The first edition of the festival took place in 1958. Tudor worked at several cultural institutions:

  • 1951 - 1952 editor-in-chief at Revista Muzica [The Music Journal] (official publication of the Union of Composers and Musicologists from Romania) [1][2] [4]
  • 1950 - 1959 professor at the Bucharest Conservatory [1][2] [5]
  • 1951 - 1959 director - Music History department, Art History Institute, Romanian Academy [1][2] [6] [7]
  • 1951 - 1956 professor at the Institute for Theatre I. L. Caragiale Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film[1][2]
  • 1955 - 1959 Editorial Committee member [1][2] [8] Studii și Cercetări de Istoria Artei [Art history: Studies and Research] (official publication of the Romanian Academy, Art History Institute)
