Alexander Rybak has performed the songs from «Axion Estin» with the Oslo-based Vivaldi Orchestra in Lesbos in 2007. Here you can listen the only two songs whose recording has become available from this concert, and watch photos. You can see Alexander at the piano in two of these photos. The Vivaldi orchestra has been founded and conducted by Alexander's father, Igor. At the vocals we find the mezzo-soprano Marilena Zlatanou and the Arcadia Choir, from Norway too. The two songs heard here are «Της αγάπης αίματα» (Blood of Love) and «Ένα το χελιδόνι» (Lone is the swallow). They belong to the famous Oratory of Mikis Theodorakis «Axion Esti» (1964), based on the homonym poem of the Nobel-laureate Odysseus Elytis (1960).
