Nana Mouskouri's voice is a bit like Marmite--you either love it or you hate it. Ode To Joy, her latest release on the Philips label is a 20-track compilation disc with a strong emphasis on classical music. (The sleevenote biography suggests that Mouskouri might have pursued a career as a classical singer following her studies at Athens Conservatory.)
There are sacred favourites (Franck's "Panis Angelicus" and the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria) and operatic extracts ("Casta Diva" from Bellini's Norma and the rousing slaves' chorus from Verdi's Nabucco) as well as arrangements of instrumental pieces including Handel's Sarabande, the second movement of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and the Adagio for Organ and Strings by Albinoni.
On the lighter side, there's the stirring "Con te partiro", "Love Changes Everything" and "The Windmills of Your Mind" as well as traditional folk songs including "She Moved Through the Fair", "Blow the Wind Southerly" and the Welsh lullaby "Suo Gân".
Apparently, one in 30 of the world's population owns a Nana Mouskouri album. Perhaps the other 29 dislike her breathy, unsupported sound, but all credit to the Greek songstress for her long and successful career. --Rebecca Agnew
