Famous scores fizzing with passion and unbridled emotion, but underlain by an unwavering attention to detail, are recreated under the direction of the celebrated maestro Georgios Balatsinos, with ever-brilliant contributions from the dazzlingly virtuosic Vassilis Varvaressos on piano. The programme also includes the première performance of a work of especial significance for Greek music: the Symphonic Fantasy from Kalomiris’ opera The Master Builder, based on the tragedy of the same name by Nikos Kazantzakis.
