Eros 3901167010 (2006)

Lyrical and musical portraits of some legends of the Arts, as depicted in the lyrics of Helias Katsoulis and the music of Notis Mavroudis, before being brought to life by contemporary voices from the Greek music scene. Three magical voices, three different worlds are united by the voice of Maria Farantouri, narrating a fantastical encounter between Rosa Eskenazi, Marika Ninou, and Flery Dantonaki.
