O Jiánnos Ber ap’to voriá to sýrma δen andéhī Version in an imperfect semi-phonetic transcription of the original Greek text He runs through the villages of the valley.Ĭontributed by Riccardo Venturi - 1 - 23:55 *The marble threshing circle that is paved with marble, το μαρμαρενιο αλωνι: a connection to the heroic epic of Digenis Acritas of the Byzantine Middle ages, where Akritas showing a manly contempt for death, challenges Death himself to a duel on a marble paved threshing circle. In 1965, he also wrote four poems on the subject and he gave Mikis the opportunity to set them to music.Īt the threshing circle, the one paved with marble* At the beginning of the sixties, he wrote his memories of this time under the title of "Mauthausen". The poet Iacovos Kambanellis was a prisoner in Mauthausen during World War II. "If there is a god he will have to beg my forgiveness" Singer : Peter Goedhart (baritone) Wim Spruiit (guitar)
This silent allilokoitagma passing two wire fences did not need a word. It is a question whether we could reach an understanding even though we shouted. * At that time, every Sunday is standing for hours worked and looked at the women and Kane comes out t 'tents and look at us. Joan Baez/The Ballad of Mauthausen/Mikis Theodorakis ( please using the right click of your mouse, and Open Link in Next Private Window, ) Song of songs - Maria Farandouri - The Ballad Of Mauthausen - Mikis Theodorakis One thing cannot change, however: the dedication I made to my grandfather, Bruno Venturi (1898-1978), who was a prisoner in and a survivor of Mauthausen, the “Customs House”.
This album, indissolubly associated with Maria Farandouri's figure and voice, is a most important project of our website, now totally reshaped and restructured after years during which its songs have been scattered among various authors. The Ballad of Mauthausen includes, with no fear of exaggeration, not only some among the most famous and touching songs in the Greek language, but also among those dedicated to the extermination camps in any language. The Ballad of Mauthausen is an historical composition by Mikis Theodorakis (originally recorded 1966 by Maria Farandouri including, four celebrated poems by the Greek poet and playwright Iakovos Kambanellis, drawn from his “Tριλογία για Μαουτχάουζεν” (Mauthausen Trilogy), and other six poems by Nikos Gatsos, Gerasimos Stavrou, Dimitris Christoudoulou and Tasos Livaditis, already recorded 1964 in the so-called "Farandouri Cycle". Maria Farandouri has the perfect 'timbre' to sing this kind of song. Such a kind of powerful dramatic ballads with a distinctly feel for 'pathos' is seldom heard in modern music. The 4 songs have lyrics of the poet Iakovos Kambanellis who passed two years of his life (1943-45) in the terrible Mauthausen camp in Austria and survived.Ībsolutely the best way the life in Concentration Camp lyrically described.Įven if you don't understand modern Greek.you can feel the anger ,the pain, the hope and the 'désespoir'. Soul-stirring album of Mikis Theodorakis dedicated to all those who experienced the cruelty of fascism and resisted.
