By 1974 Plessas had composed over 2000 compositions, conducted many of the world's orchestras and worked with almost every major Greek singer, including Yiannis Poulopoulos and Nana Mouskouri. In 1974 he appeared at Carnegie Hall with Poulopoulos. Plessas also worked in the folk arena with Athan Karras. Plessas combined the traditions of entehno and laïkó with considerable success making a notable his own style. His composition work O Dromos in 1969 (The Street) still remains the work with the most sales in the history of the Greek discography.
In 2001 he was honored with the Gold Cross of the Order of the Phoenix.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
