Music For Films

Eleni Karaindrou is probably the most successful Greek film composer to have remained working entirely within European cinema rather than go to Hollywood, as did Vangelis, and before him, though to a lesser extent, Mikis Theodorakis. Karaindrou has written the music for 18 films, most famously for Spirit Of The Beehive and also composed extensively for television, radio and ballet, as well as providing the music for 40 theatrical productions. All of which are mediums which demonstrate her affinity for drama.

Eleni Karaindrou 's music has been internationally acclaimed both by critics and by audiences, and has acquired its autonomy through records and concerts. However, international reviews have also remarked upon the uniqueness of her relationship with Theo Angelopoulos' cinema and the reference to it has been constant since the beginning of their collaboration that started in 1983.
