Summary: You'd like this movie even if you don't like Yanni
Review: I'm not a fan of "new age" music. However, I am a fan of Yanni Live at the Acropolis. The location of this concert is under the ancient Greek parthenon. The production of the show is great, the lighting makes the ancient theatre seem like it's in the same shape as it were in its prime. I saw this on PBS a long time ago and I haven't lost interest in the music since; the DVD reaffirms to a greater extent. Something special took place at the Acropolis that night and the video recreates most of the show.The DVD is in 5.1 digital audio and the sound is superb. Yanni's music is awe-inspiring moving, and emotional. The concert was Yanni's return to Greece from his long departure to America. The emotions are flowing, he dedicates a song to his mother; the band and especially the violinist in the red dress play amazingly. Finally, the concert ends with Yanni addressing "a thought" to the audience concerning the human condition and ends the show to a standing ovation. One can only wonder what the ancient Greeks would think of this show after viewing Yanni: Live at the Acropolis. I think that they'd like it. I recommend this to anyone.

Review: If you love music at all, you will find that all you invite to your living room to wathc this dvd will be entranced by the passion within minutes! Orchestras usually do little for me since they are the extension of one mans creativity, and seem so limited... however this orchestra is given liberty to extend the boundaries to afford individual creativity which flows into a beautiful flow of colors to make a sound which will carry you on a journey of sight and sound. The power of Yanni's passion bleeds over to the orchestra as he brings out the best in them. Its the power of mathmatics of exponential quantems of music! You would think that 2 musicians are twice as good as one?, however they are 4 times better!... when you see so many of the best of the best play together in one synergistic flow you will weep as you are moved by the passionate power of this music. And yes the audio only does so much, but the video brings it all to life. I can almost promise you, you will not be dissapointed! After seeing this, I can play the audio in my car and am often moved to tears, as a toy boat in the crashing waves of the surf is forced to be moved.
I too am a musician and I appreciate quality music, but quality alone is easy to find, its rare that you find people who will pour out thier life and let thier instrument become an extension of thier soul and thier essence. I give highest marks!
Yanni - A musicians musician!

Summary: the biggest musician of the decade
Review: Sin dudas, el más grande compositor de esta década. Solamente pocos genios pueden "pensar" una música, que transmite sentimientos del alma y emoción a flor de piel; Extrajo de los modernos y antiguos instrumentos musicales todo su potencial y los unió sincronizadamente dándole a esa composición un tiempo, un elevado "mix" de ritmos y una cadencia que se hace imposible no prestar atención a esa música distinta, clara y decididamente, propicia para el romance y la reflexión. Si llegan a traducir este mensaje a Yanni y él lo lee, no tendrá que agradecerme nada; Solo escuchará lo que él sabe hacer y muy bien, por cierto: Una Música Perfecta. Cómo hace para introducir un leve sonido de oboe "in crescendo" bien por detrás, en el fondo, mientras se está desarrollando una estilizada secuencia de bombos, platillos y redoblantes? Cómo los sonidos altos y bajos se cruzan, entrelazan y se funden en una sola línea del pentagrama? Cuantas preguntas más solo tienen respuestas en la mente de Yanni, genio de la música. Me resta solo decir que, gracias a él, uno se deleita, disfruta y pasa un agradable momento solamente escuchando música, su música, la música de Yanni. Gracias!
