2 out of 5 stars Great...for 1955........2005-08-13

In an attempt to satiate a burning desire to escape, at least mentally, to a tropical pacific island, I have been buying a lot of south seas music lately.

The first time I listened to "Heart of Tahiti", images of blue lagoons and swaying palm trees did not pop into my mind. Rather, images of my father as a youthful man did.

The songs on this 1999 collection are definitely interesting and catchy, but most of the tracks are from the 1950's, with the oldest one from 1943! I get the distinct feeling that Crescendo Records compiled a bunch of Tahitian songs whose copyright had expired.

Anyway, if you are a post-WWII soldier enjoying the 50's heydays in the sunny southern islands, this compilation is for you! If not, make sure you listen to the track samples before you buy this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Several good dance numbers.......2002-05-21

I enjoy this CD. It's fun to listen to and has several good dance numbers.

5 out of 5 stars Maururu roa.......2000-12-10

I have purchased several Tahitian CD but this one is the best. It took me back to the islands. The music is very upbeat for the most part, with a few soft melodies to balance out the CD. I could invision the dancers, picture the outrigger cutting through the water, bringing back fond memories of our vacation. It has been in my CD player in the car constantly since I received it 2 weeks ago, I can't seem to tire of it.
