This double CD presents a good opportunity to discover the symphonic works of the world-famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis (*1925), a living legend in his own country. It contains the Suite no. 1 for Piano and Orchestra and the Piano Concerto, written in the fifties, when Theodorakis was still at the Paris Conservatoire, and the Symphony no. 2, УThe Song of the EarthФ (based on Suite no. 1 and the ballet Antigone), which marks the composerТs return to his symphonic writing, after 20 years of struggle and suffering for his country and his people.

Discover the first studio recording on CD of this landmark Symphony no. 2 and the fascinating Suite and Concerto, in unique recordings, made in 1982 on the occasion of performances at the Echternach International Festival (Luxembourg) and in Antwerp. Theodorakis himself conducts the RTL Symphony Orchestra, and Cyprien Katsaris demonstrates in all three works his legendary virtuosity and unsurpassed artistry.

I have been lucky enough to work closely with Cyprien Katsaris on several European tours, during which we performed three of my works for piano and orchestra: the Suite no. 1, the Concerto and the Second Symphony. So I have no hesitation in claiming that as a musician and a pianist, he is a unique phenomenon, both on account of his astonishing, I would even say superhuman, technique and his faultless musicianship. For this reason, I consider myself to have been privileged to hear my works interpreted by Katsaris and moreover, to have experienced, every time I conducted him, a profound emotion and perfect aesthetic sense.
