Well what can i say, this is an excelent concert that embraces Karaindrou music commissioned for theatre plays, but mainly with her music composed for the many films directed by Theo Angelopoulos (who sadly passed away earlier this year), including Ulysses' Gaze, Eternity and a Day, The Weeping Meadow, and many more.

Karaindrou music is marked by melodies of extreme delicacy, restrained in tone, often accompanied by a solo voice or a chorus. with several moments of piano and woodwind solo passages along with folk/traditional instruments.

Hope you like it! Enjoy :)

Thanks.

Hi Sanico

Can you please upload to another download-website like sendspace or mediafire.
I can't download from DepositFiles, it keeps asking for my phone number and I don't have a mobile phone.

Thanks in advance.

Fox Monkey, i don't know about asking of a phone number. You need to hit the 'Regular Download' button and wait until the countdown timer ends. After that it will appear a captcha. Insert the correct words and click download. Only then you are able to start the DL.

Let me know if you are still having problems to start the download.

Depositfiles says that the archive no longer exists, could you please upload it again, if you can do it in mp3 it would be very nice for me
thank you.

Added new links. Enjoy :)

Thanks so, so much!

Many thanks for the flac ,Sanico !
