April 2008, Greek pianists
In every branch of art the genuine creator does not attend only to his work’s façade. He attends to its every aspect, its every angle, out of an inner need, because for him his work lives and breathes like a human body, a living organism. Great composers offer exactly this completeness with their works.
Giorgos Hatzinikos
Beethoven’s Sonata N. 32 op. 111 in C Major is the most important composition I have ever performed” the pianist declares. “Its first movement expresses the struggle with life while the second one is the composer’s spiritual last will and testament: a conclusion of life full of love in the deeper meaning of the word. It is not one of the works I studied in my youth; it came into my life a little later. However, I dedicated myself to it.
Dora Bakopoulou
"I met Xenakis in 1997 in Thessaloniki, which was the "Cultural Capital of Europe" at the time. In the framework of a tribute to his oeuvre, I gave a recital with his four solo piano works, which I had already recorded in September of 1996. His frailty was obvious, but he still came after the end of the recital and thanked me, and the next day we had lunch together.He didn’t speak much generally.He told me he was a man of few words and that he preferred to keep to himself both bad and good thoughts.He made it clear however that his thoughts about me were good.A few months later I got a letter of recommendation, in which he wrote that he recognizes me as an ideal interpreter of his works.It was the greatest gift I have ever received.”
Ermis Theodorakis
