Nektaria Karaczi - jeden z najwspanialszych na świecie żeńskich głosów muzyki bizantyjskiej, wybitna grecka wokalistka muzyki sakralnej, wykonuje muzykę należącą do najstarszych pokładów tradycji chrześcijańskiej, sięgającą samych początków Imperium Bizantyjskiego.
Jest założycielką i prezesem "Światowego Stowarzyszenia Kobiety w Muzyce Bizantyjskiej". Karaczi współpracuje z wybitnymi postaciami świata muzyki, m.in. pianistą, dyrygentem i kompozytorem - Vassilisem Tsabropoulosem, z którym muzyką bizantyjską łączą Wschód i Zachód.
"Byzantine" to zbiór starożytnych bizantyjskich hymnów kościelnych. Hymny śpiewane są tu a cappella, i w takiej pojedynczej obsadzie dobitnie słychać, że w głosie Nektarii Karantzi tkwi głębia najstarszych podań.
Album prezentuje hymny i poematy starożytnych twórców od II do VII wieku. Autorami muzyki są wielcy mistrzowie sztuki wokalnej XVIII i XIX wieku (Petros Peloponnesius, Georgios Destinos), jak też ich następcy w osobach Athanassiosa Karamanisa, Charilaosa Taliadorosa i innych. Melizmaty wokalne przywodzą na myśl głosy muezina, tutaj w wydaniu żeńskim, innym razem jej śpiew wydaje dobywać się z najdawniejszej przeszłości, sprzed dwóch tysięcy lat. Słuchając płyty "Byzantine" dotykamy tego dawnego świata, o którym my Europejczycy wiemy niewiele, wschodni ryt liturgii, muzyki często wydaje się nam obcy. Dzięki Nektar Karaczi dowiadujemy się, że w Grecji są miejsca, gdzie pomimo nieuchronności procesu zeświecczenia, ta unikalna tradycja nie utraciła swej unikalnej specyfiki, która ma przede wszystkim duchowy fundament.

Editor's info:
A collection of Byzantine ecclesiastic hymns in Greek by Nektaria Karantzi, a distinguished female chanter, whose works are widely recognized in the sacred art of Byzantine music. The album includes ancient hymns, from the early Christian period, such as “Gladsome Light” and “Christ is Risen”, hymns dedicated to the Theotokos -a repertoire to which Karantzi has centered her research in recent years- hymns of Great Lent and Holy Week, such as the well-known “They stripped me of my garments” and “Today, He hangs on the Cross”, as well as apolytikia for two significant recent Saints of the Orthodox Christian world, Saint Nektarios, Bishop of Pentapolis, and Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia, of whom Nektaria was a spiritual child. The hymns are a cappella and without the accompaniment of a Byzantine Isokratima (Ison), conveyed in their simplest form, revealing the overwhelming power of the solitary voice of prayer. The album presents ancient hymns and poems of Saint Hymnographers of the 2nd to 7th centuries in musical compositions of the great teachers of psaltic art of the 18th and 19th centuries (Petros Peloponnesios, Georgios Redestinos), as well as musical arrangements and explanations of more recent great teachers of the 20th and 21st centuries (Athanassios Karamanis, Charilaos Taliadoros, etc.), based on the classic works of Byzantine ecclesiastical music.

NEKTARIA KARANTZI
Her voice has been identified mainly with the Byzantine sacred art and has been regarded as one of the most important voices in Byzantine Chant. She is the unique Greek performer of Byzantine music with discography in Byzantine music since she was fourteen and with active work of chanting as a chorister in church since she was nine. Her performances in concert halls in Greece and abroad are purely devoted to Byzantine Chant and has been internationally acclaimed as the most ideal performer of Byzantine Melos [chanting] and of the Primeval Tradition. In her first recordings of chanting she accompanied a contemporary saint, Saint Porphyrios the Kapsokalyvite and with his encouragement she started her studies in Byzantine Music at a very early age. Nektaria Karantzi is also well-known in Greek music stage through her collaboration with the greatest teacher of the Greek Traditional Music Chronis Aidonides. The important moment of her career is her collaboration with the internationally acclaimed pianist, composer and conductor Vassilis Tsabropoulos in an artistic combination inspired by byzantine hymns joining West and East and toured in Europe several times. Other key moments in her career were the invitations from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Hungary, the Sorbonne University in France, the Oviedo University in Spain, where she gave Master Classes about Byzantine Music.
She is the Founder and the Honorary President of the “Panhellenic Association of Women in Byzantine ecclesiastical Music” and she is the Legal Services Manager and the Public Relations Director of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra of Athens, which is under the aegis of the Archbishop of Athens and all of Greece, Ieronymos II. Nektaria has studied Law, undertook postgraduates in Penal, in Criminal and in Ecclesiastical Law and is also a Doctor of Laws.
