Electra

Album by Mikis Theodorakis & Санкт-Петербургский государственный академический симфонический оркестр & Певческая капелла Санкт-Петербурга

Electra is a soundtrack album by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, released in 1962. The score combines Greek folk modes with classical orchestration to produce a dramatic, modal sound that suits the film's ancient tragic setting and is an early point in Theodorakis's career where he adapted folk material for orchestral form.
