The Colours of Greece / The Spirit of the Greek River (2009)

A collection of great instrumental hits inspired by rivers of Greece

Greece’s rivers have been revered as deities as they have created fertile fields, and they have always had an honored place in Greek art as an eternal source of artistic inspiration. For the ancients, every river was a god to which their life-giving waters. Our collection focuses on compositions by modern Greek composers inspired by Greek rivers by their power and crystalline waters. Ever since the time when Phidias depicted the Kephissos on the Parthenon’s pediment, much has changed. Many of those ancient rivers still flow through valleys and plains, but others are threatened, as nature itself is, by climatic change and pollution.
