It's something that happens a lot: passionate visionaries of the new looking back at the old to redefine their identity and rejuvenate themselves through a reconnection with their roots. That's how three great 20th-century composers—Webern, Orff and Stravinsky—turned to Bach, Monteverdi and Pergolesi, respectively, transforming their music in the freshest, most sensitive and honest way imaginable. The Athens State Orchestra performs these wonderful musical transformations under the baton of Vladimiros Symeonidis, a conductor at the height of his powers, and is joined for the occasion by the outstanding mezzo-soprano, Margarita Syngeniotou.
