Fascinated by the Greek islands and particularly Casos, on which he found both peace and disquiet, he used Greek folksong and popular melodies as the basis for these joyful yet thoughtful songs, orchestrated by John Jansson. BONUS: The Casos Sonnets, which form a separate subset, were never performed in Donald's lifetime. We are very fortunate to have secured a tape of these pieces, made by Donald for his own use on his beloved Bluthner piano at his Battersea home, and this CD includes this rare and valuable recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Casos Sonnet I \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Samiotissa \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Miranda \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Pes Mou Ti \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Casos Sonnet II \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Women of Souli \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Casiot Journey \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Favours \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Casos Sonnet III \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Anatoli \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Nanourisma \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Casos Sonnet IV \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Militsa \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Nikotsaras \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Casos Sonnet V \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Shepherdess \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Idle Tears \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Casos Sonnet VI \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Isles of Greece \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Casos Sonnet VII \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Casos 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Casos 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Casos 3 \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Casos 4 \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Casos 5 \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Casos 6 \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Casos 7 \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Casos 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Cresswell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556448514119,"sku":"11968610","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1922359.jpg?v=1747333421","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/swann-alderdice-broadbridge-jansson-isles-of-greece","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
