Live at the Acropolis by Yanni

Pros: Uplifting, diverse music types, opens the door to expand musical and cultural horizons
Cons: None--even if you've never tried the genre before, try this one.

I found myself recently cleaning out my music collection, a task I do every few years or so to make room for my new arrivals. It's comical, really, how my tastes change over the years and eventually I end up asking myself "what was I thinking?" in...

Pros: Dynamic range of musical instrument participation
Cons: None.

Yanni "Live At The Acropolis" appeared on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) television and has captured my curiosity and admiration for orchestra performances. This PBS special presentation showed lots of colorful footage and the music was...

Pros: Many, soothing, excellent use of instruments
Cons: None

Melody is a part of life and every bit of sound you listen creates an impact on the mind. If your mind is with you and wan’t to perform a task, listen to the rhythm and go with the rhythm. Music has great power to make you perform better and better. ...

Pros: Handsome, brilliantly talented composer and performer
Cons: I'm not looking for any

I have seen Yanni on television on talk shows and heard his music played often. He's very handsome and phenomenally talented. He has perfect pitch and is a self-taught pianist who played classical, rock and then went on to invent his own original style...

Pros: Very relaxing, expressive, unique blends, a very talented artist
Cons: I have never met Yanni! How terrible for me!

I would prefer to submit a review of Yanni as a performer, but I will just have to do it under the music to which I was first introduced to this very talented performer/ musician. I cannot single out any one CD because they all are wonderful!

...

Pros: Very magical and relaxing
Cons: None

I not only own the tape, and cd but the video as well. I have given the cd to 6 of my friends as well as my Mom and they all listen to it. I think the talent exhibited here surpasses and other artist. The CD was affordable as well as the video. I...

Pros: one of the best musician today
Cons: none

This video was how I became a fan of Yanni. I am a musician "drummer". I was always trying to play a different style of music and when I saw how he put drums within his music, I started to play along with the tape. I started to put that kind of...

Pros: beautiful melodies and harmonies, dramatically subtle yet intense
Cons: none

I never used to be into New Age music. This album changed my opinion drastically. I find this album to be one of Yanni's best, probably the best. All of the songs are extremely somber and beautiful. Listening to this album takes you away on a...

Pros: Wonderfully written and performed
Cons: None

A few years ago a friend recommended Yanni's music to me. Before I had the opportunity to purchase anything I happened to catch "Live At The Acropolis" on PBS. I was totally enthralled, and soon bought the album.
It is...

Pros: just great
Cons: no cons

I would not call his music new age. It seems more like the music of life if life itself had a sound. In this particular CD he is at the Acropolis in Greece.
If you want to go into another state of mind and clear out the old tapes in your mind, then...

Pros: A fantastic live album from an often underrated artist.
Cons: Some listeners may not enjoy an entirely instrumental album.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when good talent does not get the success it deserves. True, this album went several times platinum, but these days Yanni and his music are often the butts of unfair jokes. Also, Yanni himself says that he prefers to be...

Pros: NONE
Cons: IT IS A MUST HAVE

Listening to Yanni is the best way to unwind from the daily stresses of life. If you do not have any of his music. Yanni: Live at the Acropolis is my number one recommended album to start out with. The music takes you to a mystical paradise that your...

Pros: Fantastic and soothing music to provide calm from that hectic day.
Cons: None Whatsoever

Yanni, the name alone presents excellence. Looking up what the name Yanni means I found it is a Greek Hebrew name that means "Gift of God". That alone can tell you why Yanni is so good at what he does. In his CD Yanni Live at the Acropolis he says: ...

Pros: Great Composer
Cons: There are none

LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS was my first ever time at seeing & hearing YANNI! I had walked over to my mothers home and she was watching this Concert on PBS. I got so into it that i forgot what i had walked over for! That has been a long time ago now...

Pros: Definitely buy his cds' they are a delight
Cons: None

I first saw Yanni on our local public broadcasting station. He was without a doubt a phenomena of the ages. He is brilliant. He wrote all the music and it was heavenly. His musical renditions completely swept me away both physically and mentally.
