\u201cThe new Greek vocal ensemble \u00abPolyPhonia\u00bb interprets Leontaritis’ vocal works with virtuosity comparable to that of great foreign ensembles, showing off the style and the sophisticated richness of the music with sensibility and fidelity.

\u201cThanks to Nikos Kotrokois, the ensemble \u00abPolyPhonia\u00bb and FM Records S.A., we are at last able to hear this Greek musician’s work, which seems comparable to western composers’ most significant creations. … The excellent recording, realized in the Holy Abbey of St. Josef in Athens, besides its national importance, constitutes the fuit of meticulous work: the ensemble \u00abPolyPhonia\u00bb interprets Leontaritis’ music with sensibility and precious sound as well as the appropriate delight, in the absence of which similar works would seem nothing more than valuable exhibits of a distant world now fallen into oblivion.\u201d [*****]<\/p>\n

\u201c … an extremely interesting recording … Recently, however, the Greek vocal ensemble \u00abPolyPhonia\u00bb, founded in 1994, have include Leontaritis’ works in their repertory and started to present them with high quality standards. … The Greek singers, accompanied by six instrumental soloists, approach the renaissance repertory based on the short but essential experience of their live performances, interpreting its rich, melismatic polyphony with ease and precision.\u201d<\/p>\n
