[edit] Έλεος ρε σεις...

We only got one or two people in Greece who can be characterised as Master composers and Hadjidakis is one of them... It's "Music scores", not "Filmography"... Jeesh! I fully expect fire to be cast down from heavens, now that i'm gonna go out for a bottle of coke and some chow in the souvlaki-place next door... (And it's gonna be all your fault!) :) -- Project2501a 21:30, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Not just one or two... Don't forget Skalkottas and Samaras. Elp gr 22:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually we have only one major composer , at least recognised worldwide and this composer is Xenakis. Neither hadjidakis , theodorakis , skalkotas and samaras fit the bil.

Actually, this is not true. Greek composers are well known, mostly from their work in film soundtracks. Hadjidakis won an Academy Award for his score of Never on Sunday; Vangelis Papathanassiou for Chariots of Fire (it's his memorable work in Blade Runner too); Theodorakis had a hit with his score for Z and he can be safely credited with introducing Greek bouzouki music and the syrtaki dance to the world, through his work in the hit film Zorba the Greek -- he also wrote the score for many English, Italian and French films of note. Skalkotas, Xenakis and Samaras are indeed known but, arguably, mostly to aficionados of classical or 20th century avant-garde music. (In which field, let's not forget the early fallen giant Yannis Christou.) The Gnome 04:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

What is the problem with this Pinikas guy, who continuously erases the caterorisation of Hadjidakis as "gay musician"? It is widely known that Hadjidakis was openly gay, some of his closest friends and associates have said it( Theodorakis, Gatsos, Serafeim Fydanidis, Michael Kamen and others) and NOONE of his associates has said the opposite.

Took out the "He was much better than Miki Theodorakis" sentence. It was subjective, opinionated and greatly lowered the quality of the page. --Xenophonos 21:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
