4.0 out of 5 stars Vangelis' Greek side is refreshing., July 20, 1999

This recording by Irene Papas and Vangelis is reminescent of "Heaven and Hell", but with more of a Greek sound. The album is both soothing and energizing, and it is one of Vangelis' more unique performances. Definitely worth it.

Magic is the word that could describe this album! The simplicity of the melodies and the singing with the modern Vangelis'arrangements create a unique atmosphere. It is a Greek album with a particular modern color thanks to Vangelis and Irene Papas. Even if it was recorded more than 20 years ago sound so fresh and new! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Masterpiece, May 12, 2007

This is Vangelis' greatest work - it is a very contemporary, well advanced for its time, re working of traditional Greek folk songs from the 19th Century using electronics, operatic motifs and complex arrangements-without negating authenticity. Irene Papas is magnificent interpreter of the emotion, depth of these works. She is a master actor and a brilliant vocalist. All Vangelis' other works pale in comparison to ODES.
