He was a three-time BAFTA nominee, winning for Z. For the score in Serpico, he earned Grammy nominations. Furthermore, for the score to Zorba the Greek, with its song “Zorba’s Dance”, he was nominated for a Golden Globe. Up until his death, he was viewed as Greece’s best-known living composer. He was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize.
Yiannis Ritsos (Greek: Γιάννης Ρίτσος, 1909 – 1990) was a Greek poet and an active member of the Greek Resistance during World War II. While he disliked being regarded as a political poet, he has been called the great poet of the Greek left.
