CD ReviewsA genius for all tastes 10/02/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Skalkottas was a versatile, inventive, and prolific composer. This CD offers a nice sample of his writing. Two of the works (Mayday spell and the three Greek dances) are tonal. They both employ Greek folk music motives, arranged in a neoclassical form, and orchestrated in the unique and magical way of Skalkottas. Christodoulou's interpretation is somewhat technical, yet still captures the magic of Skalkottas writing. The Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra is an atonal piece, and will certainly satisfy the most sceptical of the cognoscenti. However, whether you like atonal music or not, the two tonal pieces on this CD will more than compensate you for bying it."
