Lycourgos Angelopoulos

**Lycourgos Angelopoulos** was a Greek conductor, musicologist, and leading authority in Byzantine liturgical chant, best known for directing the Greek Byzantine Choir. With a career spanning decades, he specialized in preserving and performing ancient Christian musical traditions from Greece, Mount Athos, and beyond, blending spiritual reverence with scholarly precision. His recordings — like the meditative chants and monastic hymns listed here — showcase his mission to make these sacred sounds accessible for both worship and contemplative listening. Angelopoulos’s work often features austere, resonant harmonies rooted in centuries-old practices, earning him global recognition as a bridge between historical tradition and modern spiritual seekers. Though he passed away in 2014, his legacy lives on through archival releases and devotional collections that continue to transport listeners to the serene soundworld of Byzantine prayer.
