Query on greek clarinettist

This has been bothering me some time. I have this piece of music on tape by this greek clarinettist playing a piece based on ancient greek scales and it's really lovely, but I don't know who it is. I can vaguely remember the name from the radio program I taped it off, petra/petro something, can't remember the rest of the name. If anyone could help that'd be great.

It was Petro-Loukas Chalkias. Amazing what you can do by typing "greek clarrinetist petro" into the google search engine, isn't it?

Zamfir is Romanian. So it isn't him.

It has to be petro loukas. Greek clarinetist from epirus. Music from this region is based on Byzantin as well as ancient greek scales. Try amazon for cds from him with better description.
