Customer Reviews:

Authentic sound .......2007-02-04

Okay, so I'm a very watered down (part) Greek (LONG story!), but while some songs may sound as though they were made in the 60s and 70s, the overall sound quality of this CD is very good compared to others I've bought of Greek music and even popular music.

I bought this CD about five years ago, and I enjoy it now just as much as I did then for the main reason that the sound isn't modern at all, which lead me to believe that the musicians and producers were more concerned with keeping an authentic sound and not "updating" timeless Greek folk songs.

I wouldn't call this CD the be all and end all of Greek music, but it's a pretty good start. - Donna Di Giacomo

Classic Greek music.......2003-05-23

I didn't especially like this c.d. when I first got it, but it eventually grew on me. It's about a quarter instrumental and three-quarters have singing on them. I do think the c.d. was put together sloppily (some of the song titles are spelled wrong and are written in a way that leads me to believe they were badly translated), but it is still very good. I don't know how old the songs are, but most of them sound like they're from the seventies. The c.d. isn't too "remetikioish" for non-Greeks, and it isn't too modern to create a sound that would leave some people out. I love the songs "Ki'an Lelao ine Psema" and "Ti Orero Miro" because of the beautiful singing and strings in the background. There is also an excellently fast Siftaki instrumental bouzouki song at the end. Overall, it's very good.

I say this is the one to buy if U wonder what is Zorba.......2000-10-05

If U like to have an idea about what Zorba's music is, or u are researching Greek music then u may buy this CD as a reference, but I have to warn u that the quality of the CD's sound is terrible, ,,

If u would like to hear some great Greek music both some contemporary and traditional try George Dalaras and Haris Alexiou If u want a solid and sound advise whether or not to buy the CD ..I say this is the one to buy if U wonder what is Zorba's Music
