Το πιο γνωστό από τα Concerti Grossi του Arcangelo Corelli, έργα κεφαλαιώδη για την εξέλιξη της μουσικής για έγχορδα, είναι το op. 6 No 8, στην παρτιτούρα του οποίου ο συνθέτης έχει σημειώσει: “fatto per la notte di natale” [“φτιαγμένο για τη βραδιά των Χριστουγέννων”]
Το ακούμε από την Südwesrdeutches Kammerorchester υπό την διεύθυνση του Gunter Wich.

The most well known among Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerti Grossi, a collection of woks essential in the evolution of strings music, is the Op. 6 No. 8, the one that bears the inscription: “fatto per la notte di natale” [“made for Christmas night”]
We hear it from Südwesrdeutches Kammerorchester conducted by Gunter Wich.

* 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!
