Review - Product Description
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

- Speak to me of the visual concept of Beautiful Music

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.

- elegance songs

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.

- A great compilation of Yanni's music!

I believe this album has all but the few experimental ingredients of Yanni's music. Containing tracks from 5-6 of his original albums, it is the perfect collection for anyone wanting to get introduced to Yanni. It includes the 'Live at Acropolis' concert track 'Aria', and recorded versions of a few others, but still has enough additional tracks to make it worth a purchase for someone who already owns 'Live at Acropolis' (which was the case with me). For the album, my picks are 'In the morning light', 'One man's dream', 'Once upon a time', 'Quiet man' and 'The end of August'. The later tracks on the album especially represent the softer Yanni music (as mentioned in Amazon.com review also). Overall, this is a collector's album for all Yanni fans.

Customer review
- A great CD.

Melodic, upbeat, rhythmic, excellent. There were perhaps only 3 songs that I didn't particularly care for, but the ones that I did enjoy are quite memorable.

- Worth the price of admission

I purchased this CD for a few of the songs I had heard elsewhere. It's a good album and I'm happy with it.
