The Very Best of Yanni

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Here's the scoop on this disc: it is a fine and satisfying survey of the years that Yanni spent while under contract to a major record conglomerate, BMG. It evenly samples different stages of the keyboardist's work from 1986 to 1994 (his thunderous early phase and his romantic-icon period of the early 1990s) and attractively groups some of his most memorable works in a single package (though by shifting back and forth between eras, the pacing at times is uneven). For a Yanni newcomer, this is a good introductory sampler of a major and worthwhile New Age artist. Just realize this: Yanni had nothing to do with this compilation. Nor has he had any involvement with any of the additional five samplers the company has rushed to market since Yanni jumped to another label in 1997. --Terry Wood

good cd.......2006-03-24

the name says it all: BEST OF so it's obviously an amazing cd that I recommend to all yanni fans and or piano virtuosoes

Best of Yawni.......2006-02-23

I only bought it for 1 track, and that I received. It arrived with the jewel case cracked, but that doesn't matter.

Soothing.......2005-07-23

If you are looking for soothing music after a long hard day of work, this may be for you. Yanni provides inventive melodies and positive vibrations of many kinds. His international following is fascinating. He would be interesting to see in concert.

Yanni!.......2005-03-01

I think that Yanni is a good piano player. He has a lot of talent and he has good songs. He plays his piano and has a lot of keyboards in his room. His songs are slow and breezy and soft.
I hope that helped you with a description of Yanni.
