Bat Goddess Obit: composer Mikis Theodorakis (1925-2021) (14) RE: Obit: composer Mikis Theodorakis (1925-2021) 03 Sep 21

I'd enjoyed the soundtracks to "Zorba the Greek" and "Z", but I discovered a recording of "Canto General" in the mid-1970s and it — the poetry of Neruda, the music of Theodorakis, and the voice of Maria Farantouri — totally blew me away.

Alas, THAT particular recording has never been available on CD, but I still have it in a double LP and a friend transferred it to CD for me a few (ten?) years ago.

I had just turned on to my road yesterday afternoon when I heard the news on NPR on Maine Public Radio. I'm pretty sure I first heard "Canto General" on "Morning Pro Musica" on Maine Public Radio all those many years ago.
