Music by Greek Composers (3)
Inspired by the search for national musical identities that took place across Europe towards the end of the 19th century, Greek composers sought to combine elements of Greek folk music and Byzantine music with European art music. In this series of programmes, we explore how various composers approached this fusion.
In this third instalment, we hear music by Spyridon Samaras (1861–1917), Petros Petridis (1892–1977) and Yannis Constantinidis (1903–1984).
