Mono, thin, narrow band, with poor s/n level. I pulled out the cd and looked to see if it was a cd-r or rw someone had pirated from an old worn out 8 track or using a $1.98 microphone from Radio Shack. September 14, 2006

rating: 1 QuoteMono recording of poor quality, seems pirated.Quote
I am so sorry about this CD! I love the soundtrack, I love Zorba the Greek and Theodorakis music, but this CD is completely mono. I have a couple of copies of the original vinyl recording. On the original the dialogue is mono and the music is stereo. Despite the cracks and pops on the original vinyl, the overall sound quality is better on my old records and the stereo imaging is wonderful vs. the mono one dimensional quality of this sad excuse for a CD. Amazon should check with the copyright holders, I strongly suspect this is a pirated copy and a poor quality one at that! I would love to buy a true stereo recording. Meanwhile please make the mono recording nature of the CD obvious to buyers. January 9, 2006

This is it! The original soundtrack from THE BEST MOVIE EVER! It is exactly the same as the original, with dialogues of Anthony Quinn (ZORBA) and Alan Bates. Definitely a keeper. I have looked for this item on CD for a long time. When the theme song plays I HAVE to get up and do the circle dance that I grew up doing with my Greek friends in Detroit.
Would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Zorba the Greek. I think Zorba was Anthony Quinn's finest role.

I can't believe what I'm hearing!!!
This is the worst piece of music I've ever heard.
I've also heard other Theodorakis Cd's and it's the same thing.
Waste of my money.

I think I'll stick with my good old Ennio Moricone's Cd's.

I prefer real music... March 31, 2005

rating: 3 QuoteGreat Soundtrack with Not-So-Great SoundQuote
The soundtrack is spectacular but the CD left me with two complaints. First, I could do without the dialog introduction to every song. Second, the recording quality is far less than par. Less these issues, I would still recommend Zorba the Greek! March 2, 2004
