Review by Cody Larson

The album Uvres Orchestrales by Jani Christou is a masterpiece of contemporary classical music. The composer's unique style is evident throughout the album, with its intricate harmonies, complex rhythms, and unconventional instrumentation.

The album features some of Christou's most important works, including Epicycle, Anaparastasis I, and Praxis for 12. Each piece is performed with precision and passion by the Orchestra of the Athens Conservatory, under the direction of composer and conductor Theodore Antoniou.

The album's production values are excellent, with a clear and balanced sound that allows the listener to appreciate the nuances of Christou's composition. The liner notes provide insightful commentary on each piece, helping the listener to better understand the composer's intentions.
