Renowned music critic Liana Malandrenioti writes the following in a review of Maridakis’ third album: “Leonidas Maridakis practices the painful personal test of competing in the modern Greek musical arena of demanding composition. Given the mastered consistency of his musical style, this is perhaps the first time I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discern mature compositional writing,
low-key and free from the guilt of influences. Leonidas Maridakis has already succeeded in finding his own private composition space. Something very important emerges from his present work, a deep artistic consciousness that finds something of tradition and its pulses and filters it with sensitivity and talent. Here when I say tradition I also mean the precious heritage of our modern great composers. Songwriter Leonidas Maridakis, with his expressive voice, presents us with a remarkable record, a mature step forward”.
