Free Music Review: Yanni at his very best
Hit: 5 Stars
Yanni's music is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes watching his
Live at the Acropolis DVD. Tears of joy. :o)
His music is full of joy and great rhythm. You can tell Yanni loves
what he is doing. So far this is his best.
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out
there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is."
Live at the Acropolis (CD & DVD) Poster
Yanni can be likened to 1970s rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer. There are several basic parallels, especially in this orchestra-enhanced concert reworking of his more propulsive, anthemic compositions. Yanni, who in concert sometimes strikes the rapturous two-keyboard "iron-cross" pose that served as one of Keith Emerson's trademarks, uses, as ELP did, classical and world-music influences to elevate pop-inclined compositions to more sophisticated levels. He then turbocharges the whole concoction with bold strokes of prog-rock bravura to give his finest pieces a dramatic, chest-swelling, larger-than-life impact. A key difference between the two acts, of course, is Yanni possesses a much stronger romantic streak, plus he refrains from attacking his keyboards with sharp objects. At his best, Yanni strikes incendiary sparks with the driving, celebratory quality of his music, and this production, culling some of the best audio moments from his much-televised 1993 concert performance in Athens, is a most appealing showcase. Yanni can sometimes strike the sonic hammer as forcefully as a Greek god ("Santorini," "Keys to Imagination") and, on this album at least, gives even overtly romantic pieces ("One Man's Dream," "Swept Away") a warmly masculine flair. Beautifully arranged and recorded; a pleasure to experience. --Terry WoodThis 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 the video. The CD includes 10 audio tracks.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 828767169828 Manufacturer No: 71698-2
