Her latest published work is a collection of songs by Manos Hadjidakis, a famous Greek composer. His most well-known work abroad is probably "Les enfants du Pirée" but he wrote many other songs and compositions in a career that spanned almost four decades. Savina Yannatou covers some of his best-known ones, among them songs from Reflections, a record produced in New York where Hadjidakis lived for a period of six years. It's a very direct record, combining sparse orchestration that accompanies her voice beautifully; it is more reflective, more settled than in her immediately previous records. On what can be considered a "Best of Hadjidakis' CD is a much needed introduction to one of the two most important Greek composers of the last fifty years (the other being the much better-known abroad Mikis Theodorakis).
