Ο Θεοδωράκης μελοποιεί Τάσο Λειβαδίτη. Το ελαφρώς γκροτέσκο της ερμηνείας επιτείνει, εδώ ειδικά, το μεγαλόπνοο της υποθέσεως.
Εν πάση περιπτώσει, ένα απ΄τα τραγούδια του ΜΘ που ακούω σε στάση προσοχής.

Theodorakis puts Tasos Leivaditis’ poetry to music. The composer’s own interpretation, slightly grotesque, somehow maximizes the grandiosity of the moment.
In any case, one of MT’ s songs I listen to standing at attention.

Enjoy!

and

Stay Safe!


As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the song !

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
