What we recognize as 'Hollywood's sound' owes a lot to European composers who offered their inspiration to the 'Mecca of the Cinematography', creating immortal melodies for immortal movies. The Athens State Orchestra 'wears her best suite' and reminds us of some of those, guided by Europe's most important Maestro for music for the cinematography.
