About This Item
The Athens State Orchestra is the oldest symphony orchestra in Greece. On the occasion of Mikis Theodorakis' 100th birthday, GENUIN evokes the spirits of his homeland and of classical antiquity in three symphonic works by Greece's most famous composer-works that played an important role toward the end of his life from the early InchSinfoniettaInch in a new version, through the folk-inspired InchRhapsody for Guitar and Orchestra,Inch to the equally moving nine-part InchRhapsody for Cello and Orchestra,Inch Theodorakis's last orchestral work. The young, rising Kornilios Michailidis leads Greece's premier orchestra with verve, while the album's soloists contribute at the highest standard of playing to these remarkable recordings!
