Summary: UPLIFTING, ALMOST SPIRITUAL, BRILLANT COMPOSER
Review: I have seen Yanni many times in concert and his music always seems new and alive each time I hear it. Tribute not only brings superb scenery and timeless music but a genuine love and sincerity for all peoples.

Summary: Yanni's Tribute music is so uplifting!
Review: I love this video! I never tire of watching it as the exquisite backdrops of the Taj Mahal and the Forbidden City, enhances the already uplifting beauty and excitement of Yanni's music. "Niki Nana" ("We Are One") gets you up and dancing! This video is a "must-have"!

Summary: Witnessing History on DVD
Review: I saw this DVD for the first time last night and was sorry I waited so long that it seemed like a "time travel" experience (it was produced in 1997). This DVD not only has Taj Mahal and Forbidden City concerts on it, but it has added bonuses of an entire length documentary related to how the concerts came about, the musicians feelings about visiting China and India, and a separate interview segment with Yanni who shares his incredible home studio with the viewers. (Viewers please note: The documentary, "No Boundries or Borders" so very well done, is located on the menu that comes up at the end of the concert's credits and is not found on the main opening menu.)The quality of this DVD is superior to Yanni's previous Acropolis DVD (I recommend video only for that one). The DVD is an absolute jewel. The musicians, who were handpicked by Yanni from all over the world, are simply magnificant! I especially enjoyed "Dance with a Stranger," "Love is All" and "Niki Nana." The female vocalists are supurb. It is a very exciting concert that flashes back and forth between China and India's audiences. The music is so dramatic, that you'd expect to hear it in an Oscar winning movie! This DVD is a piece of world history. It is the best value I've ever seen in a DVD. The documentary alone is worth the price of this DVD! Yanni made history with these performances and you will never find another DVD like this one -- ever! The man is a miracle, plain and simple. I'm waiting for Yanni's next performance on Mars, the moon - who knows what idea he'll come up with next.

Summary: Yanni - Tribute
Review: My disappointment was complete. I knew that after Live at the Acropolis things can only get worse. I just couldn't imagine that "worse" could be that bad. First, when I spend my twenty five bucks for a concert DVD I don't want a National Geographic world-is-beautiful program or "we-are-all-the-same" mini speeches. Mercifully, the skip button on my remote came to rescue. It is the music that made me sorry I ordered Tribute rather than Live. Now, what can possibly be wrong with Tribute? It is that simple: now matter how many times I play Tribute, I cannot hum or whistle or repeat in any manner a single piece. Tribute seems a result of a "cut-and-paste" computer-run process of creating songs from the elements stored in the best-of-Yanni library. Great music, like great speeches, is predictable and can be easily memorized. Tribute seems more like a farewell to the greatness of Yanni.

Summary: Waiting for his new video albums...
Review: Since I watched once luckily his live concert at Acropolis from TV, I've been a BIG fan of Yanni. I was not a real fan just when I listened to his previous CD albums. Before the Acropolis live, his music was mainly performed by synthesizers, which I didn't like and enjoy. I love his two video albums. Even my mom and dad aged 71 to 72 enjoy the videos, saying "Yanni is a very talented musician" whenever they see them. I think "Tribute" is somewhat differrent from the first one. I like his new efforts made to this video. And I like the vocalists and other musicians including Van Johnson and Karen Briggs. Yanni is a genius. I'm waiting for his new video albums with a burning desire. How about DVD?

Summary: The best of the bests
Review: Since we purchased this DVD we have been watching it over and over again for more than 10 times (in one month) and we still want to watch it again when we have free time. The DVD "Yanni in Acropolis" is a very good one. However, in my opinion, this one is even much much better. Every songs are well performed but there are two songs that we like the most: The NightingGails and Love is All with Vann Johnson.

Summary: liked Acropolis from first view; this one grows on you...
Review: Stars awarded after five views. I became a fan of Yanni from listening to Toronto, ON CHUM-FM "Lights out" show and really got interested when PBS played the "Live at the Acropolis" concert. I bought the VHS tape and enjoyed it many times. "Tribute" was different and I didn't tape it when shown on PBS but after viewing the tape a couple of more times, it grows on you. As mentioned elsewhere here, "Nightingale" is not to be missed and some pieces are similar to the "Acropolis" selection. The new instruments and use of vocal as instrument (no words in some of the vocal pieces) is a new facit of Yanni's work and is appreciated after repeated viewing. His new CD, "If I could tell you", released in 2000 is more like his earlier work and another "love it from the first listen" selection.
