Title: Not the soundtrack but just as good as the original
Review: I am reviewing the music from the film Zorba the Greek, on FM records. As far as I can see all the reviews here so far pertain to the original soundtrack recording, which I have as well. This is a modern, digital stereo recording conducted by the composer Mikis Theodorakis. I am glad Amazon is finally carrying it, as I couldn't find it anywhere and I had to order it from FM Records directly from Greece. If you like this music, the sound and the playing couldn't be better and it's recorded under the aegis of the composer himself. It matches the original soundtrack issue track-for-track. I found the performances a shade less 'dramatic' perhaps than the original film soundtrack, but no less enjoyable, and the sound is MUCH better. As the other reviews note the sound on the reissued soundtrack CD is not the best.. but then neither was the sound on the original UA LP US issue. If you want better sound, this is the one to get.
Is the review positive or negative?
