Turntable Time Vol. 2



Considering the amount of music he composed, it's amazing how little of it is available on music blogs. Looks like good ol' Miki is not so popular after all these years.
You will know several of Mikis Theodorakis' soundtracks (like "Zorba the Greek"), but like Philip Glass he composed A LOT OF classical music, including operas and probably some thousand songs.
More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikis_Theodorakis
Here is now one of his finest orchestral works, "March of the Spirit" from 1969, also on this LP is "Oedipus Tyrannus".
Vocals by Maria Farandouri (as Morricone had his Edda, Theodorakis had his Maria),
MT Conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
The complete LP consists of all three links.
