LorendaRamou, piano

Early and mature works from the foremost Greek composer of the 20th century

The choice of works on this amply filled disc, as well as the performances are the result of Lorenda
Ramou’sresearch into the artistic environment of Nikos Skalkottas, in Berlin (1921–33) and in Athens
(1933–49). The programme is organized as a triptych, focusing on three distinctive compositional
styles. First, all surviving Berlin works for piano solo are presented in chronological order, showing how
the young composer was reacting to the new and exciting jazz/dance music, but also to the people
around him and to events in the musical world of Berlin in the 1920s.
This is followed by Suites Nos 2, 3 and 4, a group of mature works composed at the beginning of World
War II (1940–41). Closing the disc, finally, is the dance suite The Gnomes, probably composed in
1939 and one of a group of piano scores for ballets with Greek subjects. LorendaRamouhas previously
released ‘The Land and the Sea of Greece’ – a disc of precisely such scores by Skalkottas– which
earned her praise from the reviewer in Gramophone: ‘Her playing is full of verve and alive to the delicacy of Skalkottas’swriting.’
