Saint Paul Sym No. 1 & Hellenic & Kleft Dances, Petridis / Arapis, CD

Petros Petridis, one of the leading composers of the Greek National School, sought to combine the polyphonic approach of Byzantine music with the form of the oratorio in Saint Paul. Conductor Byron Fidetzis has prepared this definitive edition from the composer's original manuscripts. The album also features Fidetzis's 1986 recordings of Petridis's Symphony No. 1 'Hellenic' and the Kleft Dances. World premiere recordings.
