This review is from: Songs of Romance, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

I have been in love with Zamfir's music since 1982 or so, when I listened in a radio station his fabulous renderng of the --''Theme From Limelight''. I called the radio station, gor the artist's name and album title and went out to a record store and bought it.

I listened to this album's samples and ALL of the songs are just beautifil. I highly recommende it to alll those who really love soft and romantic music, and I am buyinbg this album too!...

I admire the sound of the pan flute. And when I am in the mood to listen to its pleasing sounds, Zamfir is who I turn to. I have enjoyed his music for over a decade. This 1997 album of his--Songs of Romance, Vol. 1--is not only pleasing but also relaxing. There are 11 compositions. I also like how his pan flute playing is accompanied by nice-sounding orchestration. Of the 11 pieces, all of them are satisfying, but the one that I favor is the beautiful "The Wind beneath My Wings." The CD is almost 38 minutes. I actually rate it 3.5 stars. Songs of Romance, Vol. 1 is recommendable.

This is a good example of Zamphir, familiar tunes made even more enjoyable by the sound of the pan flute.
