from Oannes *

Η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία της Φινλανδίας είναι αυτόνομη αρχιεπισκοπή του Πατριαρχείου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως – το ποίμνιό της αριθμεί 60.000 πιστούς, το 1% περίπου του πληθυσμού της χώρας.
Το Arctic Light : Finnish Orthodox Music είναι μια συλλογή θρησκευτικών έργων όχι ιδιαίτερα γνωστών Φινλανδών συνθετών – ανάμεσά τους ο Peter Mirolybov [1918-2014]. Ακούμε το Eksapostilario, πρώτο από τους Τέσσερεις Ύμνους του για την Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου. Αποδίδει η Cappella Romana υπό τη διεύθυνση του Ivan Moody.

The Orthodox Church of Finland is an autonomous archbishopric of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople – its flock numbers 60,000 believers, about 1% of the country’s population.
Arctic Light : Finnish Orthodox Music is a collection of sacred works by little-known Finnish composers – one of them is Peter Mirolybov [1918-2014]. We hear Eksapostilario, first of his Four Hymns for the Dormition of Virgin Mary. Performed by Cappella Romana under the direction of Ivan Moody.

* 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!
