“… Recorded with due clarity and immediacy, this release is an ideal way into a defining period of Skalkottas’s musical evolution, and an ideal introduction to his orchestral work in general.”
Richard Whitehouse – Gramophone magazine – July 2021
“…The Greek Dances which commence the disc are … a totally unalloyed delight… is an essentially light-hearted observation of traditional Greek idioms … None of the pieces outstay their welcome, and some achieve an unusual sense of melancholy to counterbalance the high spirits elsewhere. The booklet observes of Skalkottas that the orchestra are “happy to honour his memory by systematically performing and recording his works.” They do him proud in the Greek Dances … The fact that this is the second in an ongoing series is all the more reason for congratulation and rejoicing, and the recorded acoustic and sound is excellent.”
