Description: 77 minutes of Greek piano music, heavily weighted toward folk songs and, thus, miniatures, with Kalomiris' richly elaborated Romanticism and Psathas' bright but tonal modern piece standing out (the latter wrote much of the ceremonial music for the 2004 Olympics in Athens). Dino Mastroyiannis (piano).
