Irma Kolassi, Maurice Ravel, cinq mélodies populaires grecques

[marapassini]

Quel est la langue? c´est grec? très belle interpretation. Merci!

[helgeevju]

Irma Kolassi was an exquisite singer and an equally excellent pianist, performing works like Ravel's formidable "Gaspard de la nuit"! I have read some place that she coached Callas in Greece when they were both young.

If you have a transcription of the Greek in Latin letters that'd be great! I'm not the original poster, but also want to sing it in Greek and don't read Greek letters. Thanks!

@ddvame I do not have a transcription. It is though among my future projects. When I shall complete it I shall inform all friends.

@ddvame email me at ssgrimaldi@comcast.net and I will send you the transcription!

[pslogge]

@zambina44 thanks for offering the transcriptions, very generous of you.

Does anyone know where one can find the greek translations?

[pslogge]

@gymnopedist Do you read greek or you want a transcription of the greek text in latin letters?

[gymnopedist]

@pslogge Would it be possible to have both? I am asking on behalf of a friend who would like to sing these in greek, but I am not sure if she can read greek letters...

Is sung in Greek or French?

These are some of my favourite songs. & the piano parts are so beautifully expressive.
