Maria Farantouri

Maria Farantouri - The name stands together with Mikis Theodorakis for an emancipatory national culture as a voice for a democratic, freedom-loving Greece. Theodorakis discovered the 16 year old, and together they become a synoynm for the resistance against the Greek military junta. In 1976, two years after her return from exile, she split from Theodorakis and went her own artistic way.
Mauthausen-Trilogy
Mikis Theodorakis "Mauthausen Trilogy", is the most awesome CD of new classical music that I have heard in a long time. I am a long-time fan of Theodorakis' music in any event. This setting of four poems written by in Mauthausen by a survivor of the camp is a stirring testament to the triumph of humanity against fascism, and of course, for Jews, much more. The recording of the original cantata, live, at a memorial held at Mauthausen in July 1995, in Greek, features the amazing voice of Maria Farantouri who first recorded the piece in 1995. Additional recordings were made in Hebrew, and then in English between 1995 and 1999. The CD concludes with remarks by Simon Wiesenthal, also recorded at the Memorial at Mauthausen in 1995.

Otan Petane I Gerani - Wenn die Kraniche ziehen
There are works of art that simply have to be preserved for future generations. This applies to this concert recording from 1979, which is now available on CD. The repertoire reaches from Theodorakis' own songs to his musical interpretations of Iyrics from Ritsos and Neruda, to traditional and current political anthems"
