Questa sinfonia che ho scritto nel 2014 a Selianitika,
in Grecia, dopo una grave operazione al cuore, avvenuta
ad Atene nel dicembre 2013. La Sinfonia n. 5 riflette
il Mythos di una nuova vita (o in altre parole "essere
appena nato", che ho vissuto molto profondamente
durante e dopo il recupero. Allo stesso tempo questa
sinfonia è un ringraziamento musicale a tutte quelle
persone che mi hanno sostenuto e incoraggiato durante
questi tempi difficili. Il materiale contiene scale
tratte dalla musica antica e moderna greca (Dromoi) e
ritmi della musica popolare tradizionale greca
(Karsilamas, Zebeikiko e Kalamatianos)
