Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Sampling of Dalaras Style.......2006-04-03

Fantastic! Soulful! Passionate!
No other word necessary, to decscribe this CD.

5 out of 5 stars "The Very Best of" ... really is!.......2001-05-23

This is one CD I will never get tired of hearing. George Dalaras has a golden voice, a smooth style of singing Greek, the songs are poetic (all translated) and very emotionally appealing. The previous reviewer must have been a guy - women will love this CD! George Dalaras expresses true feelings with sincere passion. From begining to the end - it is great! There is no in between!

3 out of 5 stars Another "Best of" but perhaps not an essential Dalaras album.......2000-08-07

Every couple of years, Minos Records, which owns all rights to Dalaras songs, comes out with a "Best Of" compilation of George Dalaras. They can get away with this for 2 reasons. Dalaras does A LOT of recording and collaborative work with other artists, both domestic and foreign, and two, Dalaras' discography has grown so enormous that there are thousands of ways to re-package older titles. Unfortunately, save for four or five songs, this ablum is not essential to own. The recent album "A Portrait" does a much better job of showcasing Dalaras's wide musical aptitude and stunning voice, while mixing both live and studio offerings. This is not to say that this is not a good album, it is. Furthermore, the frist 3 tracks, for example, come off a very recent album and collaboration with Serbian composer Goran Bergovic ("Thessaloniki-Yannena..."). However, too many of the other tracks are somewhat plodding ballads that serve better to create moods rather than the more intense emotional experiences that he is so famous for. So if you haven't bought Dalaras ablums recently, go ahead with this one, but my advice is to go with "A Portrait" also available here at Amazon.
