Review by Floyd Buenavente

The Best of Mikis Theodorakis is a compilation album that showcases the musical genius of Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. Released in 2012, the album features 20 of his most iconic songs, spanning his career from the 1950s to the 1990s.

The album opens with "Zorba's Dance," the famous instrumental tune that became synonymous with Greek culture and is instantly recognizable worldwide. The compilation then takes the listener on a journey through Theodorakis' diverse repertoire, from the hauntingly beautiful "Epitaphios" to the upbeat "Margarita Margaro."

The songs are performed by various artists, including Theodorakis himself, and the album features both vocal and instrumental tracks. The arrangements are impressive, showcasing the composer's ability to blend traditional Greek music with modern influences.
