Decca Reviewed 2003-03-11 | ||
Recorded in the US between 1923-1950, Amalia sings traditional Greek folk songs in an emotional (though sometimes whiny) voice. Most of the recordings are old & scratchy which detracts from the music, and it’s mostly slow, but it’s an interesting historical recording. Try the following: 3.Slow/Mid-tempo w/some nice strings in the back. 7. Slightly faster w/intricate melody. 11. Klezmer-esque sound, slow, kind of tinny. 16. Slightly bouncy w/wailing vocals. 17. Castanets, whiny vocals, mid-tempo. 18. Best recording quality so far. Nice band. 3/03 |
