This week, here at GME, we decided to commit all of our broadcasts to presenting the universe of a magnificent creator with a solid grip of melody and tons of sensitivity: Giorgos Kazantzis. The formal occasion is his 70th birthday tomorrow, on February 11. Kazantzis has been active in different fields and styles of music: art songs, for which he is best known; music for film and drama; instrumentals; and even children’s songs, which constitute our theme today. Kazantzis has composed music for a performance of Peter Pan, the well-known children’s story, as well as for a beautiful fairy-tale written by Nadine Kyriazi: “What I have to do and what I want to do, all in the scarecrow’s hat”.
Produced and presented by Hercules Economou
