About
This double CD contains some beautiful and highly accessible music. CD 1 is a collection of settings of Greek poetry. “Poetry written in Greek constitutes the longest uninterrupted tradition in the Western World. From Homer to the present day not a single generation of Greeks has lived without expressing its joys and sorrows in verse, and frequently in verse of outstanding originality and beauty. It is Greek poetry which has given the world the various poetic genres in which Western man has expressed his emotions and so many of his thoughts to the present day; and in many of these genres - the epic, the lyric and the dramatic - the achievements of the Greeks have yet to be superseded.” (Professor C A Trypanis in The Penguin Book of Greek Verse).
CD 2 features a collection of pieces for a variety of combinations of chamber musicians, all inspired by the history and natural beauty of Cyprus – among them Mount Olympus, or Chionistra as it is known locally.
