The movie Zorba The Greek starred Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates with the traditional Greek music composed by Mikis Theodorakis. The soundtrack LP stayed on the US album chart for eighteen months. (US:26)

"One of the best Greek music soundtracks around. This is one of Theodorakis' best."

"Notes to sooth ones ear. To listen to this album is to enjoy the art of ethnic Greek music. It exhibits all the emotions in Greek culture - passion, strength, and joy of life itself. Theodorakis needed prison to capture these notes and did it well."

"The movie soundtrack is so much better than the musical/Broadway soundtrack."

"I have always loved the music, especially the main theme and dance Zorba The Greek."

"The Greek traditional music used in the film is catching and is often a viewer's introduction to that form of music."

"The transcendent Zorba's Dance, a song composed by Mikis Theodorakis. The song is being played at many parties reminding us of this interesting character (Zorba) who touches the very core of Greek culture."
