Acting Prime Minister Catalin Predoiu sent a message of condolences on Tuesday to the family of Moldovan composer Eugen Doga, emphasizing that, for Romanians on both banks of the Prut River, the maestro will remain 'a true legend of music.'
'Today we lost Eugen Doga, a genius composer who transposed into music the beauty and soul of his native Moldova and the essence of Romanian spirituality. He offered universal culture the waltz recognized by UNESCO among the musical masterpieces of the 20th century, as well as numerous creations of great value. For Romanians on both banks of the Prut, Eugen Doga remains a true legend of music. Through creations of rare sensitivity and unparalleled artistic refinement, he enriched the cultural heritage and stood out as a prominent contemporary ambassador of Romanian culture in universality. In these moments of pain, we convey our sincere condolences to the bereaved family, loved ones and all those who loved and cherished him! His musical legacy will always remain alive, inspiring entire generations,' Predoiu said, according to a post on the Government's Facebook account.
