Caprice in Seven


Recommended Posts

A very fresh composition that starts with a cliché line but takes off in a multitude of colors from 00:45. After the climax, from 1:45 very nice guitar playing.

The piano has a fantastic role and I like the colors that you add and the harmony as in 2:22.
Sometimes I don't know if the sound sounds too saturated, that's what happens in the pre-final climax. Very impressionistic the ending itself. Bravo.

I think the actual video is pretty neat. A very nice touch to include the pictures of the various orchestral sections to help aid the listener.

This music itself had interesting transitions and styles. From the beginning to ending, I felt like there was a gradual transition in style from Modern to Late Romantic. And at times I felt like I was listening to John Williams. The transitions in this piece are very clever and well done.

Many thanks for your kind words guys. Niko may I humbly invite you to give a little listen to my Greek Medley, influenced by many years of playing Greek music. 

 

 

Once again you managed to surprise me in the best way! Many different Greek Styles and some of them quite peculiar and are all very well performed. You definitely managed to capture the Greek spirit but with a little European flavor! The result? Impressive! At some points, I felt like I was listening or watching a Giannis Dalianidis musical movie (the most successful and talented Greek musical director in the 60's and 70's). You also reminded me of Mikis Theodorakis! Are you sure you don't have Greek roots?!

Well all of us have Greek roots right? 😀 No I just played for more than 20 years with Greek bands, so over the years I have definitely been influenced. Even in my Rhapsody for piano & orchestra there is a big hasapo serviko. I guess my Caprice in Seven is also kind of Galamatiano right? Many thanks Niko.

Thank you too Mike! I hope one day you visit Greece for vacation!
