4.0 out of 5 stars Don't laugh at Yanni. He's MUCH better than most Top40 Today, December 9, 2002

Did you ever want to hear music that was simultaneously complex and fun to listen to? And if you want a vacation from the top-40-all-the-same-clone music on the radio today, try Yanni's `Tribute.' I was skeptical at first, but now I'm glad I was open-minded enough to listen; and by doing so I have discovered a respect for Yanni and his music.

Don't Laugh at Yanni -- He's extremely talented and this album shows it. Every single one of his musicians are head-and shoulders above most of the pop-radio [stuff] that we are avalanched with daily. In addition, you will hear pianos, strings, bass, trumpets, some MEAN keyboard playing, and plenty of other non-standard instruments that all blend together to form astounding and pleasant orchestrated music.

One of the album's truly great tunes is "Waltz in 7/8." It is a song played in 7/8 time - far, far, far, above and beyond the synthesized pounding 4/4 or 2/4 heard most of the time today. And wait `til you hear the keyboard solo!

If you want a delightful break from the daily grind of top-40 BS, then give Yanni's 'Tribute' a listen. At the very least you will appreciate the talent of the musicians, and you'll probably find at least one tune on the album that you'll be humming or singing months from now.

It is truly intelligent and beautiful music with the added bonus of catchy melodies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yanni is the best of easy listening you can find!!, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tribute (Audio CD)

Yanni's album "Tribute" is one of my favorite albums. His other albums are great too, but this particular one holds a special place in my heart. He brings a unique sound to his audience combining full orchestra, vocals, as well as keyboard. His music is relaxing and soothing. Very appealing to the ears. I was most pleased with his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very "Meaningful" Album, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tribute (Audio CD)

Yanni is surely one of THE BEST we have on the face of this Planet right now, and "Tribute" speaks volumes of his immense talent, creativity, and flexibility in using such unconventional Time Signatures as 7/8, with good effect. I have listened to this Album more than just a couple of times, and each time I hear it, I'm stirred with a different emotion...the feeling is just Awesome! "Renegade", "Deliverance", "Dance with a Stranger", "Tribute"....you name it, all of them have been carefully crafted and arranged brilliantly. SO...the bottom line is: If you're a GOOD (Serious in other words) listener of Classical Music, and can "Think" Music (e.g. why would the Composer have had that instrument play that interlude at that moment etc.,) like I do, this Album's just for You!! Yanni is my Favorite for now, and I'm sure he'll be yours too! Cheers!!
