Both Debussy’s atmospheric Nocturnes and Strauss’s ambitious tone poem Don Quixote are typical works of the late 19th century, a period of anxious searching in the arts which opened up new modes of expression. In keeping with the spirit of Easter, the Athens State Orchestra will also be ‘chanting’ an alternative ‘Christos Anesti’ [Christ has risen] as it was re-imagined in the fertile imagination of the fine composer, Petros Petridis.
