Posthumous Reputation
It was only after his death that Skalkottas' music began to be played, published or critically estimated to a great extent, partly due to the efforts of friends and disciples such as John G. Papaioannou.
In 1988 a short documentary (60 mins) about his life and work was filmed with funding from the local authorities of Skalkottas' birthplace (the isle of Euboea) as well as the Greek Ministry of Culture.
In recent years, the Swedish record label BIS records has been recording and releasing his works on CD and SACD.

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or reputation:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
““What have I earned for all that work,” I said,
“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
