And....another Greek item to add to my collection! This time, a "Numisbrief" commemorating Dimitri Mitropoulos (1896-1960), a Greek-American composer, pianist, and conductor.
Also in the mail today a proof coin from Finland commemorating Konsta Jylhä (1910-1984), a folk-virtuoso on the fiddle who made the traditional pelimanni-style folk music a cultural phenomenon in Finland. In addition to performing contemporary violin pieces, he also wrote his own music of which Konstan Parempi Valssi ("Konsta's Major Waltz") and Vaiennut Viulu ("Mute Violin") are the best known.
Another Numisbrief from Greece, commemorating Maria Callas (1923-1977), an American-Greek soprano who was one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century.
