Learn thirteen of his songs and let yourself (and your audience) to travel back to ancient Greece, Rome and other great ancient civilizations.

As Michael Levy says, “thanks to this almost infinite palette of tonal variations, coloured by the unique individual characteristics of each of the many ancient musical modes, almost an infinite number of wonderful melodies can be conjured out of the air with virtually no effort! The lyre truly was the magic wand of the ancients…”
