Abschiedsgrüße aus Hellenikon Idyllion, 1.12.02

Wie sagte ein deutscher Schriftsteller einmal: "Wer nach Griechenland fährt, fährt immer nach Hause!" 

Und diesmal waren wir bei Dir ganz besonders zu Hause - in Deinem schönen "Hellenikon Idyllion",
einem Ort, der trotz Werbung 

immer noch zu wenig bekannt ist.

Eine Oase des Friedens, der Ruhe und der Gastfreundschaft. 

Und- was besonders wichtig ist und was es sonst in Griechenland kaum gibt - 

Hier kann man auch Urlaub machen in der Zeit von November bis April. 
Wir haben es ausprobiert und sind begeistert.

Andreas hat immer ein offenes Haus. Es ist ein großes Geschenk, um diese Jahreszeit Sonne, 
Meer und herrliche Natur 

genießen zu dürfen. 

Und wenn es einmal kalt wird, hat Andreas eine gute Heizung; so ist es bei ihm immer warm und gemütlich. 

Und, was für echte Griechenland-Freunde besonders wichtig ist: hier geht es noch ur-griechisch zu!!

Lieber Andreas, wir danken Dir ganz herzlich für die schöne Zeit, die wir bei Dir verleben durften, 

und für Deine liebe Gastfreundschaft.

Wir wünschen Dir und Deinen ideenreichen Vorhaben Gottes Segen, viel Erfolg und alles Gute! 
Bleibe gesund, 

Herzlichst, Günter und Hannelore Pohl

Comment of the schoolchoir
from Hannover/Germany,
who visited us 

from July 16th to July 28th 2001. 

Translated from the german original. 

Hello Andreas,

school has started and we are back to the rainy northern germany. We already have the first photos and they are showing our lovely time in Hellenikon Idyllion. They remind us constantly of the warm soul of Hellas, of the scents of jasmin and roses, of the coloured beauty of oleander and palms, of the sun and the sea, of inspirated concerts and rehearsals and of the interaction between international musicians.

We enjoyed our time here in the garden of the muses, which was so exciting and at the same time relaxing. We want to thank you for the organisation of the concert and your neverending care.

The 46 students of the choir of the Otto-Hahn-Highschool will always keep the visit in mind as an unforgettable experience , as well as the 8 advisors and the grandfather.

We are glad about your idea to build up this cultural centre. So many people take profit of your work and spirit. You made us feel like at home.

I include a photo of the rehearsal at your institute, maybe you can use it.

For all your plans I wish you good luck, thank you. We will see again.

Best wishes, Ingrid (Klimke-Schmoll)

Critique on the 3/10/01 concert by the Youth Orchestra of Wil 

soloist:Vicky Yannoula

 

Music critic Patra-Greece

Whoever attended the concert on Wednesday 3^rd October at the Aigion Archaeological Museum Hall, had the opportunity to enjoy a truly exquisite performance of the Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21 KV 467, performed by the Greek pianist Vicky Yannoula and the Youth Orchestra of Wil-Switzerland.he rarely played cadenza by Busoni), followed the well-known slow movement played with superior artistry by the pianist who created a truly dreamliThe pianist, invited to perform by the director of the Hellenicon Idyllion Mr. Andreas Drekis and the conductor of the orchestra Mr. Martin Baur, managed to fascinate the audience with the directness and simplicity of her playing. Without any interpretational paroxysms and exaggerations, which are anyway not suitable to this popular concerto, Vicky Yannoula gave a fresh interpretation which, unfortunately, we rarely hear nowadays.The clear articulation, the fine and gentle touch, the effortless finger-technique and the music, always in priority, where some of those elements which made her performance so fresh and vivid. After the marvellous rendering of the first movement (where we heard tke atmosphere, then the last movement full of high spirit, clarity and liveliness, and lastly the audience's hearty applause which was well-deserved.

The orchestra, eventhough it could not stand up to the standard of the Greek musician, was generally satisfactory. In any case, the young pianist deserves to be congratulated and I hope we will all enjoy more of her interpretations in the future.

Comment of the schoolchoir
from Hannover/Germany,
who visited us 

from July 16th to July 28th 2001. 

Translated from the german original. 

Hello Andreas,

school has started and we are back to the rainy northern germany.
 We already have the first photos and they are showing our lovely time in Hellenikon Idyllion.
They remind us constantly of the warm soul of Hellas, of the scents of jasmin and roses,
of the coloured beauty of oleander and palms, of the sun and the sea, of inspirated
concerts and rehearsals and of the interaction between international musicians.

We enjoyed our time here in the garden of the muses, which was so exciting
and at the same time relaxing. We want to thank you for the organisation

of the concert and your neverending care.

The 46 students of the choir of the Otto-Hahn-Highschool will always keep
the visit in mind as an unforgettable experience , as well as the 8 advisors
and the grandfather.

We are glad about your idea to build up this cultural centre. So many people
take profit of your work and spirit. You made us feel like at home.

I include a photo of the rehearsal at your institute, maybe you can use it.

For all your plans I wish you good luck, thank you. We will see again.

Best wishes, Ingrid (Klimke-Schmoll)
