from Oannes *

Ακούμε τέσσερεις από τους “Εννέα Χορούς Για Τον Σύλλογο του Λυκείου Ελληνίδων” του Νίκου Σκαλκώτα, λιγότερο γνωστούς και “περιπετειώδεις” από τους 36 του, αλλά ιδιαίτερα απολαυστικούς. Την Φιλαρμόνια Ορχήστρα Αθηνών διευθύνει ο Βύρων Φιδετζής. Για μια έξοχη ανάγνωση 7 από τους 36 Ελληνικούς Χορούς του Σκαλκώτα [Νίκος Χριστοδούλου, Συμφωνική του Malmo] ακούστε εδώ.

✻

We hear four of the “Nine Greek Dances, for the Lyceum Club of Greek Women” by Nikos Skalkottas, lesser known and adventurous than his 36 ones, but pretty enjoyable. The Athens Philharmonia Orchestra is conducted by Byron Fidetzis.
For an excellent reading of 7 of Skalkotta’s 36 Greek Dances [Nikos Christodoulou, Malmo Symphony] listen here.

* 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!
