Free Music Review: The Perfect Yanni
Hit: 5 Stars

I've always thought of Reflections of Passion as one among of Yanni's most prestigious album. Don't get me wrong, I think all of his albums are just incredibly great. Live at the Acropolis was just breathtaking (snd best music video in US history). I grew up listnening to Yanni, and this was one of the first albums I owned (on Cassette). Now as a touring musician, the music on this album has shaped my style of writing music so much. One of my favorites on the album is Reflections of Passion and the Rain Must Fall. Nostalgia is a signature Yanni song. In order to comprehensively understand Yanni and his later works, you have to listening to this album. From this album, you hear where his distinct sound is derived from. For example, what artist in the world could write a song as sophisticated and distinct as Nostalgia (the song's meter is 5/8). The album is a fine blend of Grecian, Oriental, and Rock/pop (from his Chameleon Days). I highly recommend this album. Don't just judge Yanni by his name, but by the music he writes. If you don't buy Reflections of Passion, Live at the Acropolis is a must for any person who likes to listen to real live quality music.

Reflections of Passion Poster

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 of the litter, a handsome distillation of Yanni's most imaginative period, his Out of Silence and Chameleon Days era. This was before saxophones and sopranos and string sections began cluttering what had been one of contemporary instrumental music's most arresting and thoughtfully energized keyboard-powered sounds. Listen to the commanding-yet-nonaggressive bravura of "After the Sunrise" and "The Rain Must Fall" and recall the days when Yanni infused the "new age" genre with a refreshingly brawny sound, a distinctive style that surged as convincingly as it serenaded. The straightforward approach displayed on this superb sampler is a welcome reminder of the evocative sparks Yanni's compositions could strike before he entered his black-velvet and pink-bow phase. Even the disk's three bonus tracks, particularly "Flight of Fantasy," are aglow with the keyboardist's then-unmistakable style of saintly sexuality. Here's hoping future Yanni works don't merely reflect the passion, but recapture it as well. --Terry Wood
