Description

This is the only comprehensive musical biography in English of Mikis Theodorakis (1925-2021), the revolutionary Greek composer.

The first edition (1980) was written with the assistance and support of Theodorakis himself; this new edition was commissioned after Theodorakis' death and extends the assessment of his work to the operas, symphonies and other works composed since 1980.

As a political figure in modern Greece, Theodorakis embodied the spirit of resistance to the abuse of authority, from the Nazi occupation of his country and the ensuing civil war to the military dictatorship of 1967-74 and beyond.

Based on the author's personal friendship and collaboration with Theodorakis, this musical biography is both a passionate and an authoritative account of the life-work of a man who became a popular hero in an age of anxiety.
