He cultivated a spirit of ‘music-universalism’, reinvestigating the delicate balance between German Romanticism, French Impressionism and Modernism in his multi-layered music. The varied, highly individual pieces on this recording often possess a dreamlike, nostalgic, timeless quality which Schumann or Debussy would have appreciated. An enthusiastic advocate of Margaritis’s music, Felix Petyrek composed many piano works, including the Six Greek Rhapsodies, which use local scales and structural principles. |
