Subways Music is very happy to launch its collaboration with the outstanding melodist composer, George Couroupos, presenting the first album in a five-disc series of his poetry set to music. This record is entitled: "Beginning of the green world".
The distinguished composer selects and composes 25 poems, creating:
· Fourteen songs in poetry by Odysseus Elytis,
· Three songs in poetry by Sappho,
· Three songs in poetry by Archilochus,
· Three songs in poetry by Andreas Empirikos,
· Two songs in poetry by C. P. Cavafy.
Performers are two top lyrical artists: the international baritone Tassis Christogiannis, who performed the 22 songs on the album and the acclaimed mezzo-soprano Artemis Bogri, who performs three songs in Sappho's poetry. They are joined by two great pianists, Thanassis Apostolopoulos and Yannis Tsanakaliotis.
