Foros Timis Ston Greco (Tribute to El Greco) by Vangelis.
One of a limited edition of 3000, ( LIMITED STOCK NOW IN STORE ). It was produced as an expensive benefit disc for an art gallery in Athens, which was the only place you could get it. The CD is hand signed by Vangelis himself (in Greek!) and comes in a clothbound box with a gorgeous 8"x11" paperbound art book of El Greco's paintings with text in both Greek and English. The music is more serious than most of Vangelis's recent albums have been. Two opera singers -- soprano Montserrat Caballé and tenor Konstantinos Paliatsaras -- each perform on a (different) track, lending an aura of sublime decadence to the music as only Vangelis can compose it. The music is good, the packaging is outstanding, which, combined with the rarity of anything signed by Vangelis, adds up to a highly desirable CD.
