from Oannes *

Ο ζόφος δεν αποτελεί “προνόμιο” της σύγχρονης μουσικής, ούτε καν εκείνης της εποχής του ρομαντισμού. Ιδού ο Christoph Willibald Gluck [1714-1787], προαναγγέλλων μεταξύ άλλων τον …Μότσαρτ, στο ζοφερότατο Χορό των Ερινύων από την μεγαλειώδη όπερά του Ορφέας και Ευριδίκη. Ο Leopold Hager διευθύνει τη Munich Radio Orchestra.

Gloom is not a “privilege” of contemporary music, not even of the one of the romantic period. Here‘s Christoph Willibald Gluck [1714-1787], anticipating …Mozart, among other things, in the gloomy Dance of the Furies from his magnificent opera Orpheus and Eurydice. Leopold Hager conducts the Munich Radio Orchestra.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. 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!
