Summary: Superb
Review: An inspiring exposure of music, a mixture of the classic symphonics with the accelerating rythms of the new age. A very well integrated mixture of music were every style and instrument is a strong solo and member of an orchestra. Simply sublime...

Summary: A Classic Concert
Review: At the time of release, this is the best musical video recording I have seen. The camera shots keep you in a front row seat while letting you bask in the glory of the Acropolis. The mixing of a full orchestra, rock style percussion, and top flight soloists make this an energetic, exciting performance. If you have a high quality theater system, this should be part of your repertoire.

Summary: Yanni - Stunning in White
Review: From the very first moment that Yanni appears out of the floor the viewer is held transfixed in what is undoubtable the greatest concert ever given. This DVD has it all, dueling violins, a philharmonic director with attitude and of course Yanni's flowing majestic mane.
Of course, as with any Yanni production, re-watching and listening is a must. The sights and sounds are so bold that it becomes very easy to miss the subtle nuances that make Yanni great. Look for Yanni's winks the ladies in the crowd, what women wouldn't swoon! Watch Yanni's hand movements as he conducts the entire show, all while headbanging away with the addictive beat.
It isn't just Yanni that impresses, however. It would be a mistake to discount Yanni's bassist, either his playing or his permed locks. Which begs the question, who has better hair, Yanni or his bassist.
The Violinist in red, apperantly the maverick of the group, does her best to upstage the festivities, but is ultimitly cowered by the symphony director, who is in turn shown who is the really in charge by the man himself; Yanni.
I cannot urge you enough, buy this DVD, watch it over and over again; if you must slow motion the sequences, I know it can change your life, but you must first let the music in.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD doesn't compare to Laser Disc
Review: Guess i'm going to have to get my Laser Disc repaired if I'm ever going to hear those explosive passages again. The video and sound were superb on LD, the sound was so brilliant and defining. Whoever did the transfer to DVD ought to be shot. 5.1 sound is OK for planes flying around your house but not music. No one listens to music that way, it's rediculous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: I first saw this video on VHS and I was amazed, but when I bought the DVD it was awesome! The night of the concert had to have been amazing. The picture and sound of the video is amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend this video to anyone with a passion for music because you'll find yourself watching it over and over.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Video is better than the Audio in DVD release
Review: I had seen this wonderful Yani work on VHS and remember the rich sound. While the performance in DVD format provides the eye candy you would expect I found the audio to be flat and the sound of the applause to be "rain on a metal roof". Vocals had an annoying flatness and a strange echo - like the mixing was not done at the same level as the music. Seems the bass is nice during the music but disappears during the vocal spots. I think this is an awesome performance that belongs in everyone's library - just wish the entire audio was up to the video quality. I think his work that you find on CDs has spoiled this viewer - live recordings tend not to be of the same audio as studio work and certainly this live presentation had its own set of complexities to be sure. Buy it and enjoy it never-the-less.
