Greek Folk Favorites [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews

From the Label
The doyenne of the Greek folk world, Dora Stratou, and her musical ensemble, Panegyris (pan-here-is), have compiled traditional songs and dances from Greece's island and mountain regions. The performances are thrilling and boisterous, as well as historically accurate, performed as they were centuries ago.

4 out of 5 stars A real treasure.......2003-01-17

OPA!! Boy was I astonished to find this CD! My grandfather, who emmigrated from Greece in the 1910's, owned this record which was produced in the 1950s. I recently rediscoverd this album in the basement play it frequently. This was recorded when each part of the country still maintained regional influences, before the hemogenization of Greek popular musical styles. Great musical quality, authentic. A must have.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......2001-11-03

This is the best album that I have purchased commercially. This album has all the best music from throughout Hellas. The only thing this album is missing is a good Pentazalis. If you're only going to buy one album, this should be it.

5 out of 5 stars This is a "must have" for real Greek music fans!.......1998-12-27

I would strongly encourage you to buy this excellent recording of traditional Greek music. The music choices represent the rich variety of traditional Greek music. You will want to listen to these beautiful songs over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD for traditional Greek music lovers!.......1998-08-11

This CD is the genuine article. If you are looking for REAL Greek folk music, look no farther.

This was recorded by the famous Dora Stratou and has been computer-reconstructed from the original masters. The music shows the passion that is missing from many contemporary recordings of traditional Greek folk music.
