Editorial Reviews

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 realizing they were buying repackaged older works. This is one of those recordings, and it's a decent assortment of Yanni's early-'90s works. It includes the first five tracks from In My Time, six selections from Dare to Dream, one track each from his first four albums and a live, more palatable rendition of the uniquely annoying "Aria." Basically, it's an acceptable sampler of quieter Yanni material with some moments of power and punch tossed in for spice. --Terry Wood

5.0 out of 5 stars Speak to me of the visual concept of Beautiful Music, March 6, 2002

and I shall introduce YOU to the sound of Yanni. This CD is one of my all time favorites. My 11 year old daughter listens to it to help her sleep. I have always loved this music it's a wonderful compliment to relaxation and peace.

Once I was in a Cafeteria and heard "Aria" they were showing a commercial for Toyota and I totally "tuned" everyone out and sought out where that music was coming from.... when I reached the TV I was looking as in awe (which made everyone notice me) but I could not stop from smiling from my insides and letting the song just flow over me. Okay so I'm corny but it does inspire you to think of another place, literally taking you away from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yanni Fan, September 27, 2001

This album is one of my favorites. It has the perfect variety of songs from six of his albums. When I'm in the mood for listing to Yanni and reach for one of his albums, this is the one I pick 9 out of 10 times. The song "Aria" is on this album. I came to love "Aria" after seeing it performed on the VHS version of "Live at the Acropolis". If you have not seen "Live at the the Acropolis", you are missing something great. I have not viewed it on DVD, but some people do not think the DVD is as good as the VHS.

5.0 out of 5 stars elegance songs, September 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Mirror (Audio CD)

Yanni is one of my favorrite artist.I bought many of his albums and books.The song that I like to play most(piano) is " In the mirror". There is a feeling that can't express when I play it .The song is just non-stop that make it's great! His other songs are wonderful too such as Before I go, In the morning light,One man dreams these are not hard to play,but hard to play them as well as in CD.I would like him to play a concert in Thailand and compose a song for us....Wow! If anyone reading this text and want to talk to me about Yanni or Music,it'll be very kind of you to mail to me to share our opinion together.
