from Oannes *

Ένα από τα πεδία στα οποία διέπρεψε ο τιμώμενος συνθέτης μας ήταν το της φωνητικής μουσικής, με τη μορφή θρησκευτικών έργων [ορατορίων, καντατών κλπ.], αλλά και τραγουδιών – μελοποιήσεων ποιητών όπως ο Γκαίτε – ο Σοφός της Βαϊμάρης θεωρούσε τον Mendelssohn αγαπημένο του συνθέτη.
Ολοκληρώνουμε το αφιέρωμα στον FM με ένα podcast από 6 lieder. Όσοι δεν ενοχλούνται από την “τραχύτητα” της γερμανικής γλώσσας, θα βρουν σ’ αυτά τα τραγούδια ένα θησαυρό μουσικού συναισθήματος.

✻

One of the fields in which our honored composer excelled was the one of vocal music, in the form of religious works [oratorios, cantatas etc], but also songs – based on poets like Goethe – the Wise Man Of Weimar considered Mendelssohn as his favorite composer.
We conclude our tribute to FM with a podcast of 6 lieder. Those not bothered by the “roughness” of German language will find in these songs a treasure of musical sentiment.

* 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!
