NANA Mouskouri (photo), the famed Greek singer, was given a Gold Merit Medal on July 23. Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis presented her with the award at a ceremony at city hall and praised her "inspirational" talent and "extensive contribution to the music and culture" of Greece. Upon presentation of the medal, a saxophonist played Mouskouri's classic song "Paper Moon", which was sung by a female choir. Speaking without prepared notes, the visibly moved singer told the group she was "proud to be in our country and honoured by you".
Now let us praise Nana Mouskouri. The polyglot Cretan-born songstress with only one vocal chord is currently on a farewell tour. Though Cher has had more than one farewell tour, so perhaps I can still hope to see Ms. Mouskouri live.
I became enchanted with Ms. Mouskouri when I was 16. In a local Salvation Army, I found an LP with a cover photo of a beautiful woman wearing an evening gown and black thick-framed glasses. And I remember thinking: any woman who proudly wears her glasses (and with an evening gown no less) is totally awesome, I must have this record. I bought it despite the outrageously expensive price of two dollars. (This was 1985, goslings, and I was accustomed to buying 70's photo print shirts and gold lamé suits for 25 cents.) The record was called something like International Songs, and it is long gone now alas. But I remember that there were beautiful, lushly orchestrated songs in French, German, and Greek, and it was in high rotation during my last two years of high school. I could still hum the opening song for you, a traditional Greek melody.
Her music always makes me feel like I'm living in Europe (with free health care and the entire month of August off) and I'm having a dinner party at my summer home (with a mod pop art decor) serving delicious things including vegetables from my own garden for witty, multi-lingual friends and no one is in a hurry to get home.
Ms. Mouskouri beautifully demonstrates Andy Warhol's dictate to find a style of your own and stick with it. The last photo shows her concert at the Acropolis on July 24, 2008, still lovely and proud at 73 years old. That's what attracts me to her style the most. It's marvelously dignified. I'd keep her around as a style icon even if she didn't sing.
Of course the early 70s are her strongest influence. Just look at her in the Yves Saint Laurent Mondrian dress. But I still think she makes it her own. Labels: with a song in my heart
Time for a French song, this is one of the prettiest, I think. Recorded circa 1961, enjoy!! カテゴリ: 音楽 タグ: nana mouskouri un roseau dans le vent french song chanson

Mouskouri has been on a worldwide farewell tour since she announced her plans to retire three years ago. She is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time and has sold more than 300 million records.
The singer said she had decided to stop performing because she feared singing in a way “which will disappoint a lot of people”.
“I wouldn’t really go without saying thank you because, thanks to the audience, I have been around for so many years because they listen to me” Nana Mouskouri
“This tour was the opportunity to say thank you to the people,” she said. “I wouldn’t really go without saying thank you because, thanks to the audience, I have been around for so many years because they listen to me.”
Hours earlier, the city of Athens bestowed its gold medal on Mouskouri, who has been on a worldwide farewell tour since she announced her plans to retire three years ago. Among the crowd at the ancient Odeon was Greece’s Prime Minister and the Mayors of Berlin, Paris and Luxembourg.
Mouskouri, who was born on the island of Crete, has recorded 1,500 songs in seven languages during her career including her 1986 hit Only Love which went to number two in the UK. She toured with Harry Belafonte, recorded with Quincy Jones and Julio Iglesias, and had a song written for her by Bob Dylan.

Slovo Nane Mouskouri Atene, 27.07.2008, 10:55 B.T. Legendarna grška pevka Nana Mouskouri se je od svojih poslušalcev poslovila na veličastnem koncertu v grški prestolnici.
Nana Mouskouri, ki je v karieri posnela preko 1500 pesmi ... (Foto: Reuters) 73-letna pevka Nana Mouskouri, ki je v bogati karieri posnela preko tisoč petsto pesmi v sedmih jezikih, je za konec svoje veličastne kariere pred dnevi priredila koncertni spektakel v Herodovem amfiteatru v Atenah. Mouskourijeva je zapela največje uspešnice iz njenega bogatega repertoarja pesmi, obenem pa je bil to zaključek njene poslovilne turneje, v okviru katere je nastopala zadnja tri leta.
... je v Atenah priredila pravi poslovilni koncertni spektakel ... (Foto: Reuters) Grška pevka spada med najbolj prodajane izvajalke vseh časov, saj je prodala več kot tristo milijonov plošč. Razlog za njeno upokojitev pa je, po njenih besedah, "strah, da bo začela peti na način, ki bi razočaral večino ljudi". "S to turnejo sem se želela zahvaliti svoji publiki, saj sem ravno zaradi nje toliko časa vztrajala na glasbenem prizorišču," je povedala Mouskourijeva. Med publiko je bilo tudi nekaj eminentnih gostov, med drugim grški premier ter župani Berlina, Pariza in Luksemburga.

Athen ehrt Nana Mouskouri Großansicht Athen (dpa) - Die griechische Hauptstadt Athen hat am Mittwoch die griechische Sängerin Nana Mouskouri (73) («Weiße Rosen aus Athen») mit der Goldenen Medaille der Stadt geehrt.

27 juillet 2008 Nana Mouskouri, c'est fini. Alors bien sur, la chanteuse ne faisait plus la une des rubriques people mais quand même, le fait qu'une figure de la chanson populaire donne son dernier concert, après plus de cinquante ans de carrière ne laisse pas indifférent.
C'est au pied de l'Acropole à Athènes, sans doute sous le regard bienveillant de la déesse guerrière, que Nana a fait ses adieux à son public.
A 73 ans, la chanteuse garde des fans de choix, comme le maire de PAris Bertrand Delanoé, venu exprès pour elle.

Sat 26 Jul 2008 City of Athens Gold Medal of Merit to Nana Mouskouri Posted by Greece Travel Blog under Athens Send it to a friend Send a Nana Mouskouri was presented with the City of Athens Gold Medal of Merit at the City Hall. A few hours before Nana Mouskouri was to appear at the Herod Atticus theatre for her farewell concert, bringing to a close a 50-years career featuring more than 350 gold and platinum albums and 300 million album sales globally. Athens was the final venue of Mouskouri’s Farewell World Tour that she embarked on in June 2007.
In the ceremony at Athens City Hall Mouskouri said: “I believe that if music did not exist, I would not be here today… Mr Mayor and dear friends, I would like to say that I was honoured the moment I was born in this land and began to live with this love within me. I loved our country very much because it endured a great deal…”
“Music lent me wings so I could dream and find the love I was searching for in this world… I always dreamed of something better, about love, happiness and even the happiness we could give to others. So I exchanged and shared, and the honour I am receiving today is something I will never forget…”
Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit and Luxembourg Mayor Paul Helminger attended the ceremony, as guests of the Mayor of Athens, as well as the Ambassadors of France, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and Slovenia, and the charges d’ affaires of Spain, Germany, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Poland and Sweden. The dignitaries also attended Nana Mouskouri’s final farewell concert Thursday night.

Last Wednesday, July 23rd, Nana Mouskouri gave her farewell concert in her homeland, Greece, more precisely at the Odeon Herodes Atticus, close to the Acropolis in Athens.
French website orange.fr reports about this very special moment in the career of an artist: “A lot of politicians, including Greek Prime minister Kostas Karamanlis, were there. Nana thanked her fellow citizens and performed a selection of classical, jazz, traditional and pop pieces as well as her own biggest hits".
Earlier the same day, she was awarded a golden medal from Athens’ mayor, in presence of the Berlin and Luxembourg mayors.
Since she declared she wants to give an end to her carer, Nana Mouskouri got involved in a three-years international tour to say bye-bye to all of her fans.
Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1963, with the song A force de prier and placed 8th.
She began by visiting UNICEF projects in Mexico (1994), Chile (1995) and Viet Nam (1996). Following her return from Viet Nam, she joined UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Harry Belafonte at a benefit concert in Chicago, during which he presented her with the World of Children Award from the US Fund for UNICEF.

(TT&VH) - Màn trình diễn cuối cùng của nữ ca sĩ Hy Lạp Nana Mouskouri đã chật cứng khán giả khi được tổ chức vào hôm 23/7 tại nhà hát Herodes Atticus cổ đại ở Athens.
Nữ ca sĩ 73 tuổi này đã thực hiện chuyến lưu diễn thế giới từ biệt kể từ khi bà thông báo nghỉ diễn cách đây 3 năm. Mouskouri là một trong những nghệ sĩ thu âm ăn khách nhất mọi thời đại và trong sự nghiệp trải dài nửa thế kỷ của mình lượng đĩa bán ra của bà đã tiêu thụ được hơn 300 triệu bản. Bà đã thu âm 1.500 ca khúc bằng 7 ngôn ngữ. Nữ ca sĩ cựu trào này quyết định ngừng trình diễn vì sợ “nhiều khán giả thất vọng. Chuyến lưu diễn này là cơ hội để cám ơn tất cả các bạn. Tôi không để ra đi nếu không nói lời cảm ơn các bạn, vì nhờ khán giả mà tôi mới đứng vững trong sự nghiệp chừng ấy năm”.
TT - Nữ danh ca người Hi Lạp Nana Mouskouri (ảnh) đã chính thức rời xa ánh đèn sân khấu sau nửa thế kỷ làm say đắm lòng người.
Tại rạp hát cổ Herodes Atticus ở Athens đã có rất đông người mộ điệu đến để lắng nghe lần cuối giọng ca 73 tuổi này, trong đó có sự xuất hiện của thủ tướng Hi Lạp và thị trưởng của các thành phố lớn như Berlin, Paris và Luxembourg.
Kế hoạch nghỉ hưu của Mouskouri đã được công bố cách đây ba năm cùng chuyến lưu diễn tri ân khán giả trên toàn cầu lần cuối.
Bà là một trong những nghệ sĩ có số lượng đĩa bán chạy nhất mọi thời đại với hơn 300 triệu bản ghi âm đã bán ra.
Bà cho biết quyết định ngừng biểu diễn là do sợ nếu tiếp tục ca hát sẽ "khiến mọi người thất vọng".
Mouskouri, vốn là người gốc đảo Crète, đã ghi âm tổng cộng 1.500 ca khúc với bảy ngôn ngữ khác nhau trong suốt sự nghiệp của mình. Một trong những ca khúc ăn khách nhất của bà là Only love (1986) đã được xếp hạng nhì ở Vương quốc Anh.
Bà cũng từng lưu diễn với Harry Belafonte, ghi âm chung với Quincy Jones và Julio Iglesias, kể cả một ca khúc do đích thân vua nhạc phản chiến Bob Dylan viết tặng riêng.
Concierto de adiós de Nana Mouskouri en Grecia Fuente: AFP
Nana Mouskouri, una de las cantantes griegas más conocidas en el extranjero, dio el miércoles por la noche su concierto de adiós ante el público griego, en el Odeon de Herodes Atticus, junto a la Acrópolis de Atenas.
En un teatro lleno, en presencia del primer ministro griego, Costas Caramanlis, y de varias personalidades políticas griegas y extranjeras, Nana Mouskouri agradeció a sus compatriotas la calurosa acogida tras haber cantado varias canciones clásicas o de jazz, folklore y pop, según su repertorio habitual.
Unas horas antes, el alcalde de Atenas le entregó la medalla de oro de la ciudad en presencia de los alcaldes de Berlín y Luxemburgo.
Tras el anuncio de su retirada de la escena musical, Mouskouri inició hace tres años una gira internacional para despedirse de sus numerosos admiradores.
Nacida en Canée, en Creta (sur), en 1934, ‘Nana’ como la llaman los griegos, hizo sus primeros estudios en el Conservatorio de Atenas antes de continuar una carrera internacional en especial en Francia, donde colaboró durante varios años con el compositor Michel Legrand.
Casada con el productor André Chapelle, que produjo todos sus discos desde 1960, vive actualmente en Suiza. Tiene un hijo, Nicolas.
MEĐUNARODNA DIVA OPROSTILA SE OD GLAZBE Nana Mouskouri održala posljednji koncert u karijeri
Nakon pedesetogodišnje međunarodne karijere pjevačka diva Nana Mouskouri održala je zadnji koncert i to u Grčkoj, zemlji u kojoj se rodila. Ispred ushićenih više od pet tisuća obožavatelja koji su je došli posljednji put poslušati u Herodovu kazalištu podno drevne Akropole u Ateni, pojavila se sa svojim zaštitnim znakom – tamnim naočalama. U mnoštvu okupljenih na posljednjem koncertu bio je i grčki premijer kao i gradonačelnici Berlina, Pariza i Luksembura. Dojam je bio impresivan – povjesna pozornica za legendarnu pjevačku izvedbu posljednji put. Mnogi su bili presretni što su mogli nazočiti ovome glazbenom spektaklu. U svojoj pola stoljeća dugoj glazbenoj karijeri objavila je više od 1500 pjesama na sedam svjetskih jezika i prodala više od 300 milijuna nosača zvuka.
Posljednji nastup u Ateni
Pjevala je s poznatim glazbenim imenima poput Quincyja Jonesa, Julija Iglesisasa i Boba Dylana, koji je o njoj napisao i pjesmu. Punila je vrhove glazbenih ljestvica diljem Europe, posebno u Njemačkoj, Francuskoj i Britaniji. Prije konačnog "zbogom" aktivnoj glazbenoj karijeri, grčka umjetnica održala je oproštajnu turneju u 85 gradova koja je trajala gotovo četiri godine i završila na spektakularni način – koncertom u Ateni.
No, njezina glazbena karijera nije njezin jedini uspjeh – Nana Mouskouri bila je TV voditeljica, UNICEF-ova ambasadorica dobre volje, a bila je izabrana i za zastupnicu u parlamentu EU.
Sada, kada se oprostila od glazbe, u sedamdeset i trećoj godini života, želi se više posvetiti humanitarnom radu i svojoj obitelji.

Nana Mouskouri has bid adieu to a remarkable half-century in music with a farewell concert in her native Greece at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens.
Fans filled the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus on Wednesday evening to hear the 73-year-old songstress -- one of the best-selling recording artists of all time -- perform from her wide repertoire.
Hours earlier, the city of Athens bestowed its gold medal on Mouskouri, who has been on a worldwide farewell tour since she announced her plans to retire three years ago.
Born on the island of Crete, the bespectacled Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records in French, English, Germany, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese, her record company Universal says.
She was also engaged in humanitarian work, serving as a UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) ambassador, and served as a Greek member of the European Parliament in the 1990s.

Nana se dió a conocer en el mundo entero, y dentro de los países de habla hispana por haber grabado en castellano y con algunos famosos como Julio Iglesias y Mercedes Sosa.
Durante su larga carrera grabó cerca de 1.500 canciones en siete idiomas, y ha vendido alrededor de 230 millones de discos.
Según palabras de Nana Mouskouri decidió retirarse antes de tener que “decepcionar a mucha gente” y “Esta gira fue la última oportunidad para agradecerle al público“.

Nana Mouskouri says farewell with final Athens concert Last Updated: Thursday, July 24, 2008 2:30 PM ET Comments3Recommend17CBC News Nana Mouskouri performs Wednesday at the restored ancient stone theatre Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. Her final concert was Thursday. (Losmi Chobi/Associated Press) Nana Mouskouri took her last bow after 50 years in music Thursday with a farewell concert in her native Greece.
An estimated audience of 10,000 people filled the ancient Odeon of Horodes Atticus at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens to hear her final concert.
Mouskouri, 73, announced her plans to retire three years ago and has completed a worldwide tour.
"I have been known to sing in a certain way and my fear is to lose this way of singing which will disappoint a lot of people," said Mouskouri, explaining her retirement to Reuters.
"It's not that I abandon singing or that I will never sing again in my life anywhere now, but I will not go on tours anymore. I don't want to have this fear all the time when you go on stage, this stage fright."
On Wednesday, in the first of two concerts in Athens, Mouskouri wore her trademark black glasses and a red dress and sang from her wide repertoire.
Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records worldwide, and is one of the world's best-selling artists.
Born in Crete, she sings in French, English, German, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese, her record company Universal says.
Mouskouri trained as a singer in Athens and sang in her first Greek music festival at 25.
Since then she has recorded 1,500 songs and toured with artists such as Harry Belafonte.
Her life has been a "fairy tale," she said, and the farewell tour was a way to express her gratitude to her legions of fans.
"This tour was the opportunity to say thank you to the people," she said.
"I wouldn't really go without saying thank you because, thanks to the audience, I have been around for so many years because they listen to me."
Mouskouri, who has been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, said she now wants to involve herself more closely with humanitarian causes. She may also mentor young singers

Nana Mouskouri, una dintre cele mai cunoscute cintarete de origine greaca din intreaga lume, a sustinut, miercuri seara, ultimul sau concert din cariera, in fata publicului grec, la teatrul Odeon din Atena.
Nana Mouskouri, acum in virsta de 74 de ani, a interpretat multe arii clasice, piese de jazz, folclor si pop, la final multumindu-le spectatorilor pentru primirea calduroasa de care a avut parte. La eveniment, au participat multe personalitati politice din Grecia si strainatate, printre care s-a numarat premierul grec Costas Caramanlis.

Anul acesta, Mouskouri a venit in Romania sa sprijine stringerea de fonduri pentru maternitati, in cadrul unei gale organizata de UNICEF in mai.
Nana Mouskouri returned to Greece for her last concert in her career. The Athens Mayor, Nikitas Kaklamanis honoured the Greek and international artist with the medal of the city. She sang for the last time at the Herodium Auditorium in Athens where almost all Greek celebrities attended. Amongst them, Sakis Rouvas, the 2009 Greek representative.
Nana Mouskouri told about this: If it wasn't for music which is my mother, I wouldn't be here today. Music gave me the wings to dream, love which I got in all the countries I visites.
Nana Mouskouri had the chance to collaborate with almost all big international names throughout her career and for Eurofans she will always be remembred as the 1963 entry for Luxembourg while she opened the televoting in the Athens 2006 Eurovision edition.

Nana Mouskouri was greeted with a standing ovation as she stepped onto the marble of the ancient, five-thousand seat Herod Atticus Theatre below the Acropolis. There was a sell out crowd.
The concert began with a video montage flashing back over her long career.
Mouskouri had been on a four year Farewell Tour since 2004. It took her to 85 cities in Europe, North and South America and Asia.
The 73 year old artist chose to stop performing while her voice retained the quality that could still captivate an audience. Now she's chosen to make way for a younger generation of performers.
She was born in 1934 on the island of Crete. She began to sing early in her life. After her family moved to Athens, she attended the Athens Conservatory. But she didn't sing in her first Greek music festival until she was 25. That was the launch of a career that took her around the world.
She is one of the world's highest selling female recording artists. Her official biography states, she recorded 1,500 songs in seven languages. World wide sales exceeded 300 million copies. Her personal trophy room amassed more than 350 gold and platinum albums. Mouskouri received many awards. Her musical repertoire is vast, spanning country, folk, jazz, opera, pop and international music.
Mouskouri said she never expected her career to last as long as it did.
Mouskouri says she intends to immerse herself in humanitarian causes, now that she's retired. Possibly, she will train young singers. And in her advancing years,she looks forward to spending more time with her family.

ATHENS (Reuters Life!) - After 50 years of song, Greek singer Nana Mouskouri bids farewell to the stage on Thursday, choosing the country of her birth and one of its most beautiful ancient theatres to say her final goodbye.
A sell out crowd erupted in cheers at the first of two concerts on Wednesday as Mouskouri, in her trademark black glasses and a red dress, stepped onto the marble of the Herod Atticus theatre at the foot of the floodlit Acropolis.
It is the culmination of a remarkable four-year farewell tour which began in 2004 and has taken the 73-year-old singer to 85 cities across Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
"Beautiful things or bad things they always have an end, nothing lasts forever," the singer told Reuters Television in an interview. "I thought it would be about time for me to leave the stage where I have lived for so many years ... All my life has happened through that stage."
One of the biggest female artists of all time, with 300 million records sold in seven languages, Mouskouri on Wednesday revisited songs that began her career in Greece and those that rocketed her to No. 1 in the charts from Germany to Britain.
Among the crowd on Wednesday were the mayors of Berlin, Paris and Luxembourg who came for the performance.
"I have been known to sing in a certain way and my fear is to lose this way of singing which will disappoint a lot of people," said the Cretan-born singer, explaining her retirement.
"It's not that I abandon singing or that I will never sing again in my life anywhere now, but I will not go on tours anymore. I don't want to have this fear all the time when you go on stage, this stagefright." Continued...
Born in 1934 as Ioanna Mouskouri, she began singing at a young age after moving to Athens with her family and attending the conservatory there. She sang in her first Greek music festival at 25 and has never looked back since.
She has recorded 1,500 songs and has more than 350 gold and platinum albums from country to folk, jazz, opera, pop and world music. She has toured with Harry Belafonte, recorded with U.S. producer Quincy Jones and Spanish legend Julio Iglesias, and Bob Dylan even wrote a song for her.
"It was like a dream, everything happened like a fairy tale," she said. "So I am really very grateful for what happened and in fact this tour ... was the opportunity to say thank you to the people. I wouldn't really go without saying thank you."
Mouskouri has dabbled in other professions. She presented a series for the Britain's BBC TV in 1968, became a goodwill ambassador for UN child agency UNICEF in 1993 and was elected to the European parliament the following year.
Mouskouri said she now wants to involve herself more closely with humanitarian causes, as well as give advice to young singers, possibly through classes. And she looks forward to spending more time with her family.
