In My Time

Reflections of Passion Reflections of Passion is the first of what has became a near-torrent of "best-of" collections and other repackagings involving Yanni's early work. To avoid confusion when pondering the long list of Yanni "special projects," keep this in mind: Reflections of Passion is the pick o...	Dare to Dream Yanni tacitly announced he was becoming a kinder, gentler, more thoughtful musician with the release of this 1992 studio recording. The triumphant surges and tympani-powered sonic eruptions that often distinguished his earlier works are replaced here by greater emphasis on billow...	Love Songs As Yanni compilations go (and this is his eighth, the fifth churned out by his former record company in a three-year period), this is a well-conceived package, commendable for its focus and continuity of style. It is, basically, music for bubble baths, a bouquet of warm, piano-ba...	Tribute The album's title is Tribute, but it just as easily could be called Spectacle. Everything here is done on a grand scale, from its ambitious staging areas (the Taj Mahal and China's Forbidden City re-creations) to its large gathering of instrumentalists (more than two dozen) to th...	In Celebration of Life This 1991 compilation is essentially a companion piece to 1990's Reflections of Passion. Combined, these two worthwhile samplers offer listeners an inexpensive way to own the best of Yanni's first four recordings. None of the 10 tracks here, including some of his most dynamic and...
If I Could Tell You Modest in both scale and sound, If I Could Tell You represents a less elaborate, more back-to-basics approach to music for an artist lately accustomed to staging Grand Statements (see Tribute). A straightforward, keyboard-based studio recording with minimal accompaniment, If I Co...	Nightbird This seven-track budget sampler seems to exist for no other reason than to showcase three compositions--"Point of Origin" (from Out of Silence), "Days of Summer," (from Chameleon Days), and "Dance with a Stranger" (from Niki Nana)--that never found home on one of Yanni's seven ot...	In the Mirror In 1997, when Yanni switched to a new record company, his old label rushed to release not one, not two, but three compilations of his old recordings, basically trying to capitalize on his popularity as hastily as it could. No doubt some fans purchased one, two, or all three not r...	The Very Best of Yanni Here's the scoop on this disc: it is a fine and satisfying survey of the years that Yanni spent while under contract to a major record conglomerate, BMG. It evenly samples different stages of the keyboardist's work from 1986 to 1994 (his thunderous early phase and his romantic-ic...	Live at the Acropolis (CD & DVD) This set includes DVD footage of Yanni recorded live on September 25 1993 at the Parthenon before a standing-room-only audience accompanied by the Royal Philharmoic Concert Orchestra. Also included are backstage interviews and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of ...

love this album
I love this album. When I first heard of Yanni I got excited, and went out and purchased my first CD of his. "Live at the Acropolis". I fell in love. I had to get more. So I purchased this one. I loved it! I like to take it to the beach whenever we go. It has that beach feeling. You know what I mean? You can listen to his music, while you're on the beach, watching the waves. I love this album. I love Yanni.

Love the book & the service was great the book got here really fast after the order was submitted-Thanks --a 5 star to all.

Best of the Best
I would say, "The Best" Yanni Album Ever!! If Live at the Acropolis was a masterpiece, this is something like... I don't know what to say. Its just awesome. Each Song. Each Song is better than the previous and I could just listen to it every day and still want more. If you are a Yanni fan, Just go for it, you'll never regret.

Inspired
I have played this CD more than any other. I am always in awe. It occurs that infrequently, inspiration just rains down on some one. I think of this collection in that way. I play a lot of bluegrass, old rock and even bagpipe music but for a nice background sound I think it doesn't get better than this.

It is not just beautiful music; it is a priceless panacea for your soul.
I am not a zealous Yanni fan and I do not write reviews very often. I, however, feel the urge to write something about this CD. Yes, it is beautiful and heart-touching as many other reviewers have already testified. Moreover, this CD is beyond relaxation music. It not only soothes your soul; it also elevates your spirit and enhances your physical well-being. I feel this CD, especially its two tracks One man dream and Felitsa, somehow works very well with water activities, be it swimming or spa. After vigorous swimming laps or hot spas, I turn on this CD and let the music take me into sound sleep and beautiful dreams. When I wake up, I feel fully charged and ready for anything. Even my eyesight gets sharpened. I look out to my garden and I see lush green, radiating red, vibrating yellow that I somehow usually miss. And my kids, my wife, my neighbors look more beautiful and happier than ever.
