Danae Dörken; Staatskapelle Weimar; Kornilios Michailidis - Helikon CD

The German-Greek pianist Danae Dörken belongs to the elite of a new generation of internationally sought-after artists. The current album is a tribute to the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis on the 100th anniversary of his birth, which is on 29 July 2025. Theodorakis's compositions blended classical, folk, and modern elements, often expressing the struggles and spirit of the Greek people. The Staatskapelle Weimar, under Kornilios Michailidis, is accompanying the pianist with Suite No. 1 and the Helikon Concerto No. 2 for piano and orchestra.
