A woman and her world of music…

She has cut her hair a little, but still wears those famous glasses that make her recognizable the world over. In Athens, Tokyo, Paris, Beijing, Rome, New York and elsewhere, Nana Mouskouri, the Greek legend, attracts legions of admirers wherever she performs.

"No matter what you want to achieve, all that counts is the way to get there. Why, how and with whom you travel!" she claims. A progress in love and music, a way to learn and understand, a course to be served and honoured…
