George Raidestinos

George Rhaedestenos II (1833 in Rhaedestus – 1889 in Constantinople) was acting Lambadarios of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, when Stephen the Lambadarios was old and weak. He was an unimmitable performer of psaltic art, and second to none of his contemporary cantors; he was especially renowned for his ancient-like patriarchal chanting style.He published two music books, in which one can find the chanted services of the Holy Week and the Pentecostarion together with remarks from the Typikon.
