Christodoulou Greek Dances

The songs and dances of European folk music inspired the late 19th and early 20th-century composers featured on this album, from Bartók to Vaughan Williams, and the journey takes us from the mountain tunes of Europe’s northernmost tip to the melancholy songs of its easternmost reaches, to dances from its southernmost point.

KOTTOS takes its name from an enchanting, dangerous giant of Greek mythology. The instrumental makeup of the ensemble is unique: recorders from the lowest bass to the highest sopranino; a grand Russian Bayan concert accordion; the cello, which adds sounds from the avant-garde and Nordic folk music; and a Greek bouzouki adding Mediterranean colour and Celtic sonorities.

Zorba The Greek: The Best Instrumentals & Songs is a 2005 compilation of a form of Greek music known as Laïkó. The music is uncredited so it remains who performs what, meaning if it is a series of musicians or just one group entirely. Actual release date is also known, it may be from sometime in the 1990's, perhaps 2005 or even much older. This was released by Super Sound.
