Lament For Epirus 1926-1928

Alexis Zoumbas, one of the world's most outstanding musicians, was unparalleled in expressing despair and devastation through his instrument. After years of research, this is the first collection of recordings by the masterful Greek folk violinist. Few pre - war musicians delved as deep into the human soul as Zoumbas, and this volume features his most captivating and otherworldly pieces. It comes with in - depth notes from Christopher King's 2012 research, along with unpublished photos and original art by R. Crumb. Originally released in 2014 for Record Store Day, the limited - edition LP quickly went out of print. Remastered from the original 78s, Christopher King's version is enhanced for Third Man Records with a 7' EP having two previously unheard alternate takes of Epirotiko Mirologi and Doina. As Amanda Petrusich said, Zoumbas' music hits you hard, like a club to the knees. It's immediate, powerful, and amazing. This 130 - gram black vinyl is a great gift for music lovers.
