Subways Music presents the album "Echomonologues", consisting of four compositions of composer and musicologist Sotiris Despotis and two of composer and guitarist Savvas Karatzias.
The music and the musicians
All pieces are written for solo instruments - guitar, piano, cello, clarinet, flute, except for a flute & cello duet.
All six compositions were recorded live: the first in the Amphitheatre of the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki and the other five at the Grand Master's Palace in Rhodes.
The performers are Panagiotis Gogos (piano), Giorgos Kavasilas (guitar), Angelos Liakakis (cello), Vivi Papaioannou (flute) and Manousos Ploumidis (clarinet).
Note of the Georgios Vranos, Art Director of the Thessaloniki State Orchestra.:
Six interesting musical creations are here to enrich the repertoire of contemporary Greek musical works. These compositional activities that organize their musical material through the music language of the 20th century are offered to music lovers by composers Sotiris Despotis and his pupil Savvas Karatzias. The works were created for solo instruments, excluding the last one, and are interpreted in a virtuosic manner by five young distinguished artists. These compositional proposals consist of successful treatments of their musical elements and invite us to embark on a journey to seek out new musical space-times, where the sound meets the place and the human element the transformation of the vulnerable into the eternal.
I congratulate those involved in this endeavor which emphasizes that Greek musical creation continues to move forward within the process of the musical firmament and I look forward to their next creations.
