Corfu was one of Greece’s outstanding musical centres. Most prominent among its famous sons and daughters, Spyros Samaras wrote operas that won him the admiration of the Italian and the international public as well as the sincere admiration of celebrated fellow composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The performance of his Mademoiselle de Belle-Isle under the baton of Byron Fidetzis, a Greek music specialist, is a fitting tribute to the composer’s memory
