Skalkottas is one of the best Greek composers. He died early. His music is fantastic. He became famous many years after his death, with the help of friends of his music such as Papaioannou & Christodoulou. It is a shame that he did not had the honor he deserved when he was alive... To my mind he is very good and he can be compared with the rest classical music composers.

The dances of Skalkottas are astonishing in their depth, especially the Mariori one. This execution is a little academic and unsure, which is seen in the tempo. But anyway someone could reconstruct. The only problem of Skalkottas was some remnants of the Kalomoiris school, i.e. the virility of traditionnal music is cannot be reached by the softness of german-born orchestral textures.

The Mariori mou - Mariori is as we say in greek "to have your hair risen".
