Hi Kim

Can't answer that one, but Mario has released other albums. I've also got The Acropolis Concert and Garden of Hope (can't remember the Greek title). I know there's another double album - help Gina !!!

I love all of Mario's albums and particularly love Mario singing "The Rose" on The Acropolis Concert - very emotional.

Trish I'm with you on "The Rose" as that too is my favourite. Actually I have many favourites even ones I can't understand the words of! They all have meaning to me but especially that song.

I can't single one particular album as being better than the other and I feel most of the fans would be the same. Sue

Hi Trish,

The other double CD is "Feggari Erotevmeno" and the Greek title for "Garden of Hope" is "O Kipos Ton Efhon" Very Happy

All Mario's CDs are great it's hard to have a favourit song... I love them all Wink

thanks Gina, I knew you'd come to the rescue. Very Happy

I must get "Feggari Erotevmeno". I'm really looking forward to getting the DVD with "O Kipos Ton Efhon". It was posted from Greece last week. I haven't seen it available from anywhere else except Greekmusicshop, which Sylvie so kindly sent the link.

I have been looking for Fergari Erovtomeno myself here in Australia, but cannot seem to find it anywhere.

Well actually I did find it sometime back, at Borders in South Yarra, here in Melbourne, but it was the very same time I also found the Acropolis concert and I couldn't afford to purchase both of them at the time. So I chose the Acropolis concert (which I love, what Mario album, don't I love) and have never seen Fergari Erovtomeno again here in Australia, but have seen the Acropolis concert one here a few times since I purchased it in Borders probably early to mid last year.

I found "O Kipos Ton Efhon" at the Greek shop "Metropolis" in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, just recently.

Thankyou for this other link, it looks great and I look forward to checking in the other artist links also.

Hi Yvonne

Do you think the "Metropolis" would order Fegari Erotevmeno for you? I just found out the meaning to it tonight - "Moon in Love" thanks to our dear friend Charlotte . Very Happy

I'm dying to hear Mario singing Granada on it.

Thanks for the tip, Trish, most likely they would. I will try for sure, but at this very moment, I cannot really afford to buy it. I too would love to hear him sing "Granada".

It was just rather a shame that both of them were in front of me at the same time (and being imports, they were a fair bit more expensive than usual, so I had to let one go). I did return later in the week, once I did have the money, only to find it gone. Not to worry though, I absolutely adore the ones of Mario that I do have.

OMG!!!! Kim, what a tough question! Both CDs are absolutely wonderful!!!! Flawless!!! But I have to say the only con about Sometimes I Dream is that ocasionally I can't seem to get past track # 6, Nights in White Satin. For some reason my CD player keeps it on repeat. Laughing

Go figure.

They are both really great CDs!!!! Mario's voice is so smooth!!! Very Happy

Just had Follow Your Heart come in the post, my first taste of Mario Frangoulis...... Wow, he is wonderful. Here's to the Heroes - have never heard it sung as well. Will now have to get some of his other albums and of course a DVD. One happy lady here Laughing

Hi Zio

Our Mario's rather special. Very Happy

"The Sometimes I Dream" DVD is wonderful. There's also a combined CD/DVD "O Kipos Ton Efhon" which I recently imported from Greece. I'm not sure if it's available anywhere else. The best news is that a new DVD will be released very soon from his concert last year in Greece. When I know more, will post. He's also released a biography, but at this stage it's only in Greek, but will be translated into English, hopefully this year.

As well as being a wonderful performer, he's a gentleman. I haven't seen him in concert yet, but all the members on the Yahoo site will vouch for it. You'll be made very welcome if you'd like to join.

Thank you, I will take a look at his site Laughing

I suppose it is really hard for us Aussies and New Zealanders in a way, because we have yet to experience him in concert, but I can certainly speak for myself and I am sure Trish and Sue would agree with me totally, but I just love reading reports about the fans meeting Mario and I wish I could share experiences with them- as in meeting him and seeing his concert.

But I definitely love his Cd's, and I have to thank from the bottom of my heart Josh Groban's website, for alerting me to him.

I look forward to hearing so much more about him in the future and when we can lay our hands on his book ( whenever it gets published in English), I want it.

When all those fans went to his show and it was his birthday, I immediately sent to Gina, a birthday card, which she included with all the other birthday messages and cards, when she put the suggestion out for us fans to do so if we wished.

Yes Yvonne, I too can't wait to have the chance to meet him and hear him sing in person live...........not just from the experiences of others. I am sure that one day soon it will happen!

I just wish the wait was not so long for this new DVD.

Hi Yvonne and Sue

I hope it won't be too long before the new DVD is released. Bob Dolfi posted on his Mario Lanza forum that it was awesome !!
