New York Philarmonic performs "Epirotiko" By Nicos Skalkotas, conducted by Dimitris Mitropoulos (1956)

Hello everyone.
Nicos Skalkotas was one of the greatest Greek composer who actually took the Greek traditional music and out it into the symphonic orchestra. This is a very good example of how 2 different words can combine and create something new. Nikos skalkotas has also studied with Arnold Schonberg. For more information click below.
