ATHENS

"A triumph for Dora Bakopoulou
….The musicians of the orchestra were carried away by the power of her interpretation in a fascinating game full of musical truths…"

G. Monemvasitis, "Eleftherotipia"

"Dora Bakopoulou performed a miracle playing Ravel's Mirrors. Only she could interprete with such penetration, fullness and balance the composer's polished mastery, electrifying acuteness and southern poetic temperament. Only she could establish such a contact with his deepest thoughts. Her contact with the composers she loves is one of kinship and her absolute devotion to their thoughts is generously transmitted to the audience".

C. Romanou, "Kathimerini"

CHANIA-CRETE

"The programme's dimension and difficulties were equal to the perfect control and unfailing deep interpretation of every phrase which revealed an enormous physical and emotional power.
