from Oannes *

Ακούμε δυο μέρη από το Οκτέτο Εγχόρδων, Op. 20, το συγκλονιστικής ωριμότητας έργο που ο τιμώμενος συνθέτης μας γι’ αυτό το μήνα έγραψε σε ηλικία 16 ετών. Θεωρείται δικαίως ένα από τα “μουσικά θαύματα του 19ου αιώνα”.

✻

We hear two parts of String Octet, Op. 20 the amazingly mature work our honored composer for this month wrote at the age of 16. It is rightly considered “one of the musical wonders of the 19th century”.

* 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!
