I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Nikos Skalkottas. Perhaps I just missed it but, if not, the situation needs to be rectified. A fine composer, a student of Schoenberg who fell out with his teacher for being ... er ... inventive with Schoenberg's ideas, and an unduly neglected master. I guess the composers of the middle of the 20th century who followed (broadly) Schoenberg's method got left behind while their teacher was himself very controversial with audiences. Consider the case of Humphrey Searle. This is all a great shame as some of the followers developed very distinctive voices and wrote music that is immensely rewarding. Skalkottas wrote some fine quartets, three excellent piano concertos and violin concerto and much more. I feel sure there are others on TC who know and enjoy his music.
