EMILIOS RIADIS: (From a review by Minos Dounias of a publication by the Athens French Institute of the St John Chrysostomos Liturgy as adapted by Emilios Riadis, 1886-1935) «(…) Riadis has adapted a number of Greek melodies, strongly influenced by the mentality of the French Impressionist school, where he studied under Debussy and Ravel. (…) However, the composer of the Liturgy of St John Chrysosotomos is an excellent European musician and we are certainly proud that he is a Greek.»
