Recorded in New York with an American orchestra, the Greek composer delivers a suite of lush, instrumental tone poems without vocal accompaniment. The arrangements combine classical orchestration with subtle mandolin and harpsichord touches, establishing a cinematic interpretation of traditional Greek melodic forms.
