Only about a few pieces one could implicitly say that they changed the flow of music. Among them, Berlioz’s “Fantastic Symphony” prevails as an unchangeable model of how free artistic inspiration creates new form perspectives. Its interpretation is signed by the internationally acknowledged conductor Giorgos Petrou, along with the premiere for Greece of the Julian Suite, composed by the always charming composer, Filippos Tsalahouris. Wolton’s sensational Concerto for viola is interpreted by one of the most distinguished viola soloists, Tatjana Masurenko.
