Vasilis Rakopoulos
Affection
A classical concert in two parts, Affection and No Answer. Works in the vein of classical music have tried to incorporate diverse styles and eras, from the Baroque to the 20th century. Strings from different eras cross paths with the relativity of the metre and modern sensibilities of arrangement.
The suite Affection, written for classical guitar and a string quintet directly references themes and styles typical to the Baroque, evoking a sense of tenderness, affection and innocence. The suite No Answer demonstrates a more contemporary harmony and melody. Lyrically similar to Affection, but tighter on a dramaturgical level, No Answer has existential quest as its main theme.
