The Athens State Orchestra is the oldest symphony orchestra in Greece. On the occasion of Mikis Theodorakis' 100th birthday, GENUIN evokes the spirits of his homeland and of classical antiquity in three symphonic works by Greece’s most famous composer—works that played an important role toward the end of his life: from the early „Sinfonietta“ in a new version, through the folk-inspired „Rhapsody for Guitar and Orchestra“, to the equally moving nine-part „Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra“, Theodorakis’s last orchestral work. The young, rising Kornilios Michailidis leads Greece’s premier orchestra with verve, while the album’s soloists contribute at the highest standard of playing to these remarkable recordings!

Pizzicato
"This attractive program, which shows us a very accessible, apolitical Theodorakis, is a welcome addition to the Greek composer’s recording catalog and comes highly recommended." Review by Remy Franck, November 5, 2025
