"I purchased this CD during vacations in Santorini the last year. If you want to know what RELAXation means then travel to Santorini, sit down in front of the Aegean sea and listen to Litany... Best instrumental music."

Haunting melodies

"On this CD, Vassilis Saleas has taken 12 of some of Mikis Theodorakis most beautiful folk songs and arranged them for instrumental playing. Many of the instruments heard are keyboard type together with Saleas on the clarinet. The pieces are very haunting and helping me to feel as if I'm somewhere in a far off land. Saleas is very good with his art. He plays expressively and his phrasing is also wonderful. The clarinet has most of the melody line throughout the recording with the keyboard instruments serving as terrific accompaniment. It is also worth noting that Saleas playing does give the music a Greek sounding flavor. Overall, Litany was well worth the buy. I am certain that I will be listening to this CD for a long time. If you should decide to purchase Litany and like it as I have, Amazon sells Saleas Plays Vangelis and greekmusic.com has some of his other recordings not found on amazon.com."

"To listen is to forever feel the world more intensely. I would have been cheated in this life had I missed the experience of this music. Mikis Athanatous!"
