"The dialogue between the clarinet and the laouto of virtuosos Petroloukas Halkias and Vasilis Kostas transports us back to a time over a hundred years ago when legendary Kitsos Harisiadis defined the philosophy of Epirotic music. That this primal way of making music has survived and flourished despite the ravages of time is astonishing".
Christopher C. King
"This brilliant Greek duo springs from ancient ground but fluently speaks to modern times".
Εugene Friesen
"The Soul of Epirus" is based on a creative approach to the instrumental pieces and the playing style established by the great clarinetist Kitsos Harisiadis in the decade 1920-30 in Epirus, Greece. This time, focus is on a new dialogue between the clarinet and the laouto (8-stringed, fretted Greek lute), through which this music is translated based on the conversation between the two musical instruments. Kitsos Harisiadis created a unique and yet complex musical language based on the repertoire of Epirus, which Petroloukas Halkias maintained and further developed throughout his life. Vasilis Kostas now translates this playing philosophy from Petroloukas Halkias' clarinet into his laouto.
