Angelos Sikelianos and the Delphic Festival

A reminder of what Sikelianos tried to achieve at Delphi. (YouTube).

About Sikelianos

Sikelianos' poem on Keats (in English)

I'm not crazy about much of Sikelianos' poetry, but "The March of the Spirit" remains an inspiration.

I was there at the concert in London in 1970 (YouTube; music starts at about 1.34, after the applause and introductory speech). One of Maria Farantouri's greatest performances of the Theodorakis work based on Sikelianos' poem.
