5.0 out of 5 stars In a better world..., May 31, 2006

...you'd all know about her. She is the most soulful of Romanian singers, with a bluesy, nasal quality that sets her apart. And these are some of her classic recordings, with a magnificent ensemble. My first hearing of her voice (on an old Electrocord LP) was a revelation. And the remastering job here captures the plusses of the LP sound, without the minuses. If you love Taraf de Haidoucks or whatever, you need this. I feel a bit of a sense of mission here: fewer and fewer companies are attempting these kind of reissues, and those that still do should be supported (IMHO).

such a great record... i've heard many of her recordings with less than excellent audio quality and this re-mastered effort simply shines... instrumentally, the gore brothers are incredible, certainly as accomplished as the more well-know taraf de haiduks... really excellent liner notes describing her career and the place this music had in the lives of everyday romanians during the heights of the reign of communist terror...one of the best re-releases of this, or any year...
