Fourteen years after his first Alexandros album “the myth of the East meets the dream of the West”.( An album that still sells today with an undiminished and constant rhythm). Stamatis Spanoudakis now presents us with the new disk “Alexandros 11 : The Paths you didn’t walk”. Here Stamatis Spanoudakis has composed and orchestrated for the National Symphony Orchestra of the ERT (Greek National TV) under the direction of Andreas Pylarinos and the ERT choir led by Antonis Kontogiorgiou.. Together with them are Stelios Petrakis (Lyra) and Aourelia Despotidou (violin). A different kind of disc with intense fragrances of springtime and of the East: A disc that represented our country (Greece) in Beijing in October 2007 in the run up to the Olympic games in August 2008. This is the second time he has dedicated an album to his hero but this time taking him along paths that he didn’t walk.
The album can be obtained from www.lyra.gr ( website only in Greek) and also through www.studio52.gr ( website also in English) and any record store when you are in Greece.
