About this CD
“The music of Greece which has come down to us from Antiquity, via the Byzantine tradition, changes its appearance according to era and place of origin, and always yet preserves its soul intact. Each new generation rediscovers the crucial details and secrets in order to be able sustain afresh a form of music which has acted as a form of expression for millions of people for thousands of years.” Such were the words of Hristos Tsiamulis, the driving force – along with those other multi-instrumentalists Dimitris Psonis and Pedro Estevan – behind one of the most loved Glossa recordings, replete with timeless Mediterranean aromas.
