Dear Dave, I'm glad you appreciate Skalkottas' work. Thanks to you, I have discovered wonderful musical works by similar composers. Now, regarding the continuity of my contemporary countrymen with the ancient Greeks, beyond any political nationalism, the continuity of a people in History is judged primarily by the endurance and continuity of its cultural values and its language.
how did you find this? i bought it ages ago. lovely review,though there are other interpretations ( a bit pacier and bouncier). It reminds you of Janacek did you say? I'd think more Kodaly or something along that line:-)
Is on my wish list. So much music, so little time (!?)

Excuse me, but we're talking about music.
Given that clarification, I wholeheartedly agree. Your musicological approaches, in my opinion, cannot be disputed.@@DavesClassicalGuide 😉
Thank you.
I will download it now if it is available on Spotify... Love these obscure recommendations, thanks Dave!
try the mitropoulos one too, better tempi, more fire:-)
I own this! Never hear it talked about.
