    One of my favourite composers.

    I have to admit I'm not familiar with all her works. It's hard to get my hands on a television series such as Galini, let alone getting the music which remains unreleased till this very day. It's somehwat frustrating, but I have to life with it. But I'm happy with what I can see and hear. The films and cds releases of Theo Angepoulous films aren't out of fashion yet. Trilogia II: I Skoni tou Hronou is by far the best score of 2009.

    As long as it isn't Music for Films (because I've got that one and I'm more interested in reading about other stuff)! smile

    This is interesting!

    Eleni Karaindrou - Musiques Nouvelles
    Conducted by Jean-Paul Dessy
    24 January 2013 at Flagey Brussels

    The ensemble Musiques Nouvelles performs music from this composer (it's unclear if she'll be there, not much information) for the films of Theo Angelopoulis.

    Elegy of the Uprooting, the most notable release of a concert I can think of.

    Thanks for this. Listening to this has led me to the 148 song, 3hrs 5 mins release of her 'Music for the Theatre'.

    I hope you enjoy all of that music. Her work for theatre is very inspiring.

    Hard to believe that Karaindrou is 78 years now(!). But I'm a big fan of slow cinema and Theo Angelopoulus, so if she never does anything more in her life, there's a massive back catalogue to enjoy.
    I am extremely serious.

    Luckily, a majority of her scores, including, those for theatre and classical, have this Angelopoulis qualiity to themselves. Apart from a few works, she´s one of the most consistent composers in terms of style, emotion, quality etc.

    I have been revisiting all concert releases and every other bit and piece available.

    The 2012 concert in Istanbul isn't perfect, but still it comes close to the dna of Karaindrou.... Also see my review above to know how I feel about concerts and why Karaindrou truly excels in them.
