Rating: Summary: LOVE IT !!!!!!! Review: Having had the opportunity to see this music performed live 12 times and having met almost all of the musicians, I enjoy this video to the max. The musicians enjoy what they are doing and it really shows. I have played it so many times, I have just about worn it out. The music can soothe on a rough day and energize on a tired day. This man's music has magical qualities for me and for many other listeners. The Emmy Nominated lighting designs on this video are wonderful. They truly worked magic at these two magnificent sites. David Kaniski and Lee Rose did a spectacular job. The lighting really enhances the music. Creates a mood even before the first note sounds (check out Dance with a Stranger).Looking forward to more work from Yanni and his magnificent musical entourage. Linda C.

Rating: Summary: Awesome!!! Review: I am a woodwind instrumentalist and Pedro Eustache is my new idol! All the musicians are awesome. This video was an inspiration. Yanni is the man!!!! All the music was superb and it grooved. I recommend this to all my fellow musicians. This is just straight up great music, no categories.
Rating: Summary: Beautiful music, almost perfect multiculturalistic combo! Review: I am new to Yanni's style of music. I really love this video, the music and performance of musicians is very moving and uplifting. This is really worth purchasing. There's something in Yanni's style of composing that captivates me everytime I listen to them. He has a way of perfectly capturing and sending - through is music, a message to the soul. (Goose bumps too!) Really interesting, very good composer!
Rating: Summary: A Masterpiece!! Review: I didn't know what to expect when I put this DVD in my player. I had never heard Yanni's music before but my brother told me it was a MUST HAVE. So I got myself a copy too and let me tell you that this is a MASTERPIECE! Yanni breaks borders and boundaries in this remarkable concert filmed in India's Taj Mahal and Beijing's Forbidden City. All the musicians are truly gifted and there performances really add something special to Yanni's compositions. If your looking for the ULTIMATE concert DVD look no further! A previous reviewer complained that there is a slight pause (or "freeze" if you prefer) during one of the songs. This is because the disc is DUAL LAYERED with the layer change occurring right on the beginning of the 4th song. It is quite a good change that doesn't interfere with the overall flow. With the Concert and Additional documentary spread over a dual layered disc the results are a superb picture quality that is clean and sharp. I won't complain that it isn't widescreen because what we get here is a high definition fullscreen picture free of noticeable defects. The Sound is also incredible! Included is both Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks that are clear and well defined (and not "over cooked" as one reviewer claimed). Also included is the documentary "No Borders, No Boundaries" which takes an intriguing behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Tribute and Yanni's travels throughout these two fascinating countries. Bonus features also include a recent interview with Yanni and footage of the artist at work in his state-of-the-art recording studio. Overall this disc is reference material even down to the animated menu's that are some of the best I've seen! You have to get this DVD and witness the musical genius that is Yanni!!

Rating: Summary: A masterpiece Review: I first saw this video on a TV telecast in Singapore. I was mesmerised. I immediately bought a video (PAL). Then, when I came over to the US, I had to buy an NTSC video, and recently, this DVD. I am sure I may have to buy a Non-Region 1 DVD of this at a later time when I leave the US. The only thing I hate is this PAL/NTSC business, and the region coding on DVDs. It doesn't help in stopping piracy in any case, which they claim to achieve by doing this. But come what may, I am always going to watch this production whichever corner of the world I may be in.
Rating: Summary: Great content, bad production Review: I had this concert on VHS and was looking forward to the DVD version. The concert itself is great. The settings in China and India are wonderful and the tracks are magnificent. Yanni has brought together a very talented group of musicians and his creative writing is at it's best. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the production quality. You'll have to turn down your sub-woofer on this one as the base is way over cooked. There is also a spot that actually freezes for a second on one track. Overall the content is great. Hopefully next time Yanni will take advantage of the latest technology. But then "Hell Freezes Over" by the Eagles sets a very high standard.
Rating: Summary: Gives one the best out of the best! Review: I have seen this video eighteen times, and I still cannot seem to get enough of it. If you like the New Age genre, waste no time in buying it! Kaustav
