This is our version of 12 beautiful melodies composed by the great Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis (1925-1994). The arrangement for each and every song was carefully and meticulously prepared so that it reflects the enormous respect we feel towards the work of Manos Hadjidakis.

As we wandered through the beauty of Hadjidakis’ melodies, we kept wondering how one can touch such beauty without the risk of (unintetionally) blurring the melodic intensity, harmonic clarity and profound lyricism of these little gems, while at the same time seeking to project the richness of timbre that the classical guitar has to offer.

An approach of doric simplicity was deemed necessary, therefore, in order to respond to these challenges.

We hope you enjoy.
