"Let me make this absolutely clear - I am not a Mikis fan but I'm not speaking to the Mikis fans out there I'm speaking to the Serpico fans and offering a word of warning. I think the Serpico soundtrack is just fantastic. It was one of my first records and some of the tracks from Serpico drift into my head even after all these years but I could never find just the Serpico soundtrack on disc so after years of procrastination I decided to bite the bullet and buy this 2CD set. What a disappointment. The production is muddy and the other three soundtracks featured are nothing like Serpico in style. They aren't totally without merit but if it's just Serpico you're after then look elsewhere."

"It's a great piece of Mikis'work.It really combines feelings and beliefs in a very difficult and dangerous period for Greek citizens.This work of Mikis really touches me and expresses what I believe for life.Strength and sensitivity.We need it and Therodorakis just knows all these years how to give them to his people!We thank him for everything."

"Mikis Theodorakis is truly a unique and original composer. On the soundtrack Serpico, Theodorakis captures the frustration and pain of Frank Serpico, played brilliantly in the movie by Al Pacino. I was moved to tears by the heart renching violins in the final track of Serpico."
OUTSTANDING

"MIKIS IS DEFINETELY ONE OF THE GREAT COMPOSERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. IN THESE CDS, HIS CAPTIVATING MUSIC HAS BOTH THE WARM FEELINGS OF THE GREEK MUSIC AND THE UPLIFTING SOUNDS OF HIS GENIOUS, I ONLY HOPE THAT SOME MORE OF THE NEW COMPOSERS COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO SEE WHAT REAL MUSIC IS"
