Greek songstress Nana Mouskouri was a familiar face on British TV screens during the early 1970s. Her Exquisite album features several foreign language songs. (UK:10)

"Having two different vocal cords since birth means her voice is not just beautiful, it's distinctive. I was expecting to enjoy her hits, having heard them when she first made them. I didn't know how I would find the rest, but I've been impressed, as has everyone who has heard this LP. This is easy listening that is hard not to listen to attentively, such is the beauty of her voice."

"This is an ideal LP for those who do not have an extensive collection of Nana's older songs. As usual Nana's voice manages to take you out of your world of worries. A great purchase for any collection."

"It's rare nowadays to find such a clear and strong sounding vocal and I must admit have a goose bump each time I hear Nana Mouskouri. An excellent LP for a romantic evening too. Highly recommend it for connoisseurs."

"Nana Mouskouri is a household name. It's a really good LP for those who are fairly new to Nana's music, and a must for her fans if only to remind ourselves of the breadth of her performances."

"She has a very beautiful voice and never seems to need to scream or shout at her audience. It is a pleasant experience re-discovering Nana Mouskouri."

"The commanding majority is in English but you can also listen to her sing in French, and Greek. And the amazing thing is that each time you listen to her in any of the languages, you have the feeling that each one of them is her mother tongue."
