5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to the music of Nana, September 19, 2003

This CD is a re-issue of a compilation that first appeared on vinyl in the mid seventies. Nana has recorded many fine songs since then but this collection still provides a great start to a collection of Nana's music.

The set opens with White rose of Athens. At the time this was her signature song and may still be so though I can't be sure of that. It is certainly appropriate for Nana, the most successful popular recording artist Greece has ever produced.

Several covers of famous songs are included, but that's fine because they always sound special when Nana sings them. They include Seasons in the sun, Bridge over troubled waters, Day is done, Try to remember, And I love you so and Amazing grace. Note that I have a dream is not the Abba song of that title (though Nana has also recorded that, just to confuse everybody) and My friend the sea is not the song that provided Petula Clark with a huge British hit in the early sixties. Nana sings Never on a Sunday in French, the language in which it was originally written. Other great songs here include The loving song, Turn on the sun and The last rose of summer.

While this can no longer be regarded as the definitive Nana collection, it was just that in the seventies and still makes for great listening.

I love this album, I would recommend it, every Nana Mouskouri fan will enjoy this album. I would especially recommend this album to those who would lay back and let the music take them away,the sweet, simple songs with a touch of the seventies sounds will soothe your mind and soul. [e-mail]

I first "discovered" Nana while listening to XM Satellite Radio, tuned to the "Easy Listening" channel. They play Nana's work several times a day and I found that whenever she was singing, I would stop what I was doing to check the display screen to see who it was. This album contains many of her standards including Cu-cu-ru-cu (English version), which is just beautiful!! If you like easy listening, female voice music, then this is a CD to purchase.
