Asian compilation for the best selling female artist of all time worldwide, Europe's answer to Streisand. Featuring exclusive DSD remastering & a slipcase with 24-page lyrics booklet, all of which are unavailable on the U.S. pressing. Features 21 tracks including 'Only Love ', 'The White Rose Of Athens', & 'Try To Remember'. Philips. 2004.

All of the selections, classical and pop, are thoroughly pleasant and very clear. Both Mouskouri's voice and the instrumental accompaniment are beautiful. One thing that stands out on this CD is her versatility. Whether it's something as traditional and classical as "Ave Maria" or something as hip as the sixties rock gospel song "Oh Happy Day," Nana Mouskouri knows how to make it hers. She sings "Oh Happy Day" with convincing energy and enthusiasm. As for "Quand on s'aime" her duet with the French jazz composer, Michel Legrand, it's an enthusiastically sung jazzy number that really swings and is wonderfully done. Her versions of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Trouble Water" and "Scarborough Fair Canticle" are also first rate. No weak selections here. Only beautiful songs that are very well done.

It is a great CD from 1984 with some of Nana Mouskouri's older French language recordings. I would like to extend my extreme gratitude to Elite Digital (UK) and, in particular, to Mr. Rick Sterling for sourcing this old CD. ---Peter Dalton, amazon.com

Mouskouri's voice is folk music type, clear and pure. I prefer her singing with very little instrumental accompaniment, just an acoustic guitar is ideal. Please be advised that the lyrics are all in French with no English translation. The CD booklet does not even list the songs in order or provide any information on the musicians or other talent responsible for the music. All of this gets in the way of my appreciation of this CD, Nana's voice is splendid and you can pick up on the emotion and sheer beauty of the singing even if the lyrics are largely opaque as they are for me! ---Michael Berry, amazon.com

Nana Mouskouri, born Ioánna Moúschouri on October 13, 1934, in Chania, Crete, Greece, is a singer who has sold between 200 and 300 million records worldwide in a career spanning over five decades, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She was known as Nána to her friends and family as a child. She has recorded songs in many languages, including Greek, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Welsh and Maori. Mouskouri was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in October 1993. She took over from the previous ambassador, the recently deceased actress Audrey Hepburn. Mouskouri's first U.N. mission took her to Bosnia to draw attention to the plight of children affected by Bosnian war. She went on to give a series of fund-raising concerts in Sweden and Belgium.

She was elected a Member of the European Parliament from 1994 until 1999, when she resigned from her position as an MEP. Several reasons have been given for this, one being her pacifism, and another being that she felt ill-equipped for the day-to-day work of a politician.
