Notes & Reviews:

The piano music of Manos Hadjidakis, best known outside Greece for his popular song 'Never on Sunday', is as unique as the myriad influences which nourish it, reflecting the wide-ranging interests of this popular Greek composer. The suite 'For A White Little Seashell' comprises five preludes followed by traditional Greek dances, while the 'Six Popular Pictures' are arrangements of 'rebetika' songs that share a feeling of nostalgia. The intimate and playful character of his 'Ionian Suite' complements the solemn dignity of 'Rhythmology', whose unusual rhythms derive from traditional melodic patterns. Trained at the Juilliard School, award-winning Greek virtuoso Danae Kara here makes her Naxos debut.
