A remarkable moment took place in 2009 at Mikis Theodorakis' studio in Athens: Henning Schmiedt personally played his piano arrangements of the 'Lost Songs' to Theodorakis himself. Some of the melodies sparked the composer's memory, while others did not - but he listened attentively, offered comments and gave guidance that directly influenced the final versions of the pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs such, 'Lost Songs' can be considered a posthumous release with the composer's blessing. These pieces offer a glimpse into Theodorakis' expressive power and artistic maturity from a very young age - most of the 'Lost Songs' were written in the early 1940s and provide a compelling window into the formative years of one of the most important composers of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Lost Songs' is available on 180g vinyl and digipak CD editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD Tracks: The Cricket \/ My Sea \/ If You Seek Joy From The Sun \/ Andante Ma Non Troppo \/ The Poet And The Rose \/ Freedom \/ Con Calore \/ Mosso \/ The Lake By Lamartine \/ Moderato \/ Wings \/ Greek Melody \/ Thantalos \/ Ode To The Moon \/ The Linden Tree (Der Lindenbaum)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INTUITION MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45535385419932,"sku":"INT34662","price":15.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/6_978e1868-74e4-413f-a0f9-81ec54bf58c1.webp?v=1762694171","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/henning-schmiedt-mikis-theodorakis-lost-songs-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
