Agnes Baltsa: To tréno févgi stis októ (The train leaves at eight)
Agnes Baltsa (Greek: Aγνή Mπάλτσα) is a leading Greek mezzo-soprano singer. Here we see her together with the austrian pianist and composer Friedrich Gulda during a concert in Munich 1989. She wonderfully performs the greek song “To tréno févgi stis októ“ (English “The train leaves at eight“), followed by a piece performed by Friedrich Gulda, the Munich Symphony Orchestra and Joe Zawinul.

English translation of the greek lyrics:
The train leaves at eight o’clock
for a trip to Katerini
that month November will not come
that eight o’clock you won’t remember
that eight o’clock you won’t remember
the train going to Katerini
that month November will not come
