## Description

The years 1941 to 1949 were terrible for Greece. The Axis invasion of October, 1940 was followed by three years of brutal occupation involving great destruction of property, hundreds of thousands of deaths from famine and reprisals for acts of resistance, plus the deportation and virtual wiping out of the 70,00 strong Jewish population of Thessaloniki. Then followed a vicious Civil War involving much more death and misery. In the midst of all this, Vassilis Tsitsanis, already established as the leading artist in the field of Rembetika, managed to produce a stream of outstanding works. Here we present his first thirty-seven post-war recordings in chronological order, which at the time confirmed his status as a Greek national treasure. They are followed by fifty-five more sides made over the subsequent seven years. As always with JSP, remastering is of the highest order. Sleeve notes are by Charles Howard, an expert on the subject - who also supplies translations of songs frequently thought too racy for broadcast when they were first issued.

Vassilis Tsitsanis was the Johnny Mercer of Greek music from the late 40s through 50s. My Dad used to play old LPs of this music when I was a kid and it was also broadcast on  Greek radio program in Philadelphia in the 60s-70s. If you're interested in hearing some well performed, beautifully written songs that are representative of classic Greek music, this is the set for you.

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 12, 2021*

I think that this box of 4 CDs has all the recorded songs of Vassilis Tsitsanis in the period 1946-1954.Some of the songs are major landmarks of Greek music and it is hard to argue about the quality of  compositions which have passed the test of time and influenced decisively the development of Greek music.There is nothing equivalent in English music to compare for the period; the US only could offer a comparison with the development of Blues, although from obviously different social origins.Other than that what you need to know is that the first CD has at the beginning songs about the culture of drags in the interwar period; they were composed before the timeline suggested by the CDs, and they are all brilliant.The first CD contains often two versions of the same song, most of the time this is worthwhile; I don't know of any other CD that does that, this is truly academically complete!By following the CDs progressively, the listener can easily identify that in the last period, after 1950, the standard of songs, although high, is not of the musical or lyrical quality established in the period up to 1949.The songs are remastered very well and offer a very open sound which is unusual. Sound-wise this is the best collection of Vassilis Tsitsanis known to me.
