“ Quatre Silences, composed and conducted by Christina Athinodorou was a beautiful, solidly sounding package, comfortably yet intensively interpreted with a strong percussion ending by Hannu Leppänen. Athinodorou’s treatment of silence with musical language was fine and logical. Janne Mäkinen, Keskisuomalainen 7th July 2008 for the Viitasaari Time of Music Festival, Finland
