Destined to replace the Gypsy Kings' back catalogue as the mood music of choice is Chris Wilson and Alexander Janko's evocative soundtrack for the surprise-hit romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Blending something old and something new, the disc features both lilting originals and new recordings of traditional tunes performed with consummate grace by the Greek Wedding Band. Grand romance is played out to the strains of the guitar-like bouzouki, the twinkling dulcimer, and the ever-festive accordion, which meld seamlessly with subtle piano, flutes, yearning woodwinds, and tender (but never overwrought) strings. The sprightly instrumentals "Stalia, Stalia" and "Yiayia" will have you twirling around in utter bliss, while the tender ballad "All My Dreams" may have you weeping into your ouzo. Best is the gloriously exotic, tambourine-driven "Istanbul Coffee House," a sonorous treat for the ears and the mind. With music this festive, this wedding shouldn't be missed. LD Beghtol

Those seeking a souvenir of the film will be pleased by the lively mix of traditional Greek tunes, all rich in atmosphere, but the real treasures here are the original score tracks by Chris Wilson and Alexander Janko. Evocative of the film's Greek flavor on tracks such as "Yasoo" and "Yiayia," Wilson and Janko's compositions manage to retain their own flavor as they reflect the film's emotional landscape. From the delicate piano passages of "Generations" and "First Date" to the guitar-fueled "Toula and Ian," the tracks have a low-key appeal and warmth that makes for pleasant background music. Fans of David Schwartz's original music from the television show Northern Exposure as well as fans of Rachel Portman's comedy scores may want to check this out. ~ Neil Shurley, All Music Guide
