Nikos Skalkottas was a Greek modernist composer who studied in Berlin in the 1920s and absorbed the twelve-tone techniques of Schoenberg and Webern before returning to Athens. These piano works span from the mid-1920s through 1940, showing his evolution from strict dodecaphonic structures toward a more intuitive modernism. The Griechische Suite and works like the Sonatina demonstrate Skalkottas' gift for combining mathematical rigor with Mediterranean warmth. His music sits somewhere between the austere serialists and the more lyrical modernists, making these keyboard works surprisingly approachable despite their sophisticated harmonic language. This 2019 SACD release on BIS offers pristine sound for exploring one of the 20th century's most overlooked classical composers.
