You'll feel like you're in Greece listening to this wonderful, high-quality c.d. I purchased this c.d. for my father in memory of our trip to Greece, and I'm glad I did. You won't be able to sit still, especially when listening to "Zorba's Dance." It's beautifully done. Several of the songs are instrumental and several are with words. The price of this c.d. is unbelievably inexpensive. ENJOY!

This is a good CD featuring well orchestrated light hearted music. However, it would be a mistake to consider the recordings contained on this CD as "All the best from Greece". These recordings are to Greek music what Mousaka and feta cheese are to Greek cuisine. They're nice and have a good flavor, but there is so much more to experience. This is esentially Greek Muzak.

This wonderful CD has the true feel of Greece! The slower tunes tug at the heart and the peppier ones make you want to get up and dance and clap. This CD would be great for anyone who would like to add authentic Greek music to a collection, or for someone wanting to hear what Greek music is really like.

There are much cleaner, crisper, better-performed and more authentic Greek music cds out there-- keep looking. This seems to be an effort to "westernize" or "homogenize" this style of music. The arrangements were strange to say the least-- odd choruses remenicent of Montovani singers, for example. The use of timpani drums as background to the Zorba dance, among other tracks. Lots of music: 20 tracks -- but sometimes more is not better.
