The Last Tsambouna Player on the Island

on BBC Radio 3

Natasha Lemos charts some of the changes in Greek traditional music over the last 70 years.
Recordings by virtuosi of the 1920s and 30s, such as the clarinettist Nikos
Tsaras, and the Cretan lyraplayer Andreas Rodinos , are compared to some of their modern counterparts, and to the sound of the folk-violin, the high-pitched pipiza and the single-reed bagpipe called tsambouna. Producer John Thomley
