BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
rlkdlk I first saw this concert on PBS back in 1995 and had to have it right away. Through the years of moves and storage and kids and jobs and family and lending it out - it got lost. Well, I finally replaced it a few years ago - and had the same exhilarating feeling I had watching it all those years ago. And still do - every single time I watch it. It never fades. Out of all of Yanni's concert videos I think this one is the best. It is simple yet dynamic. Yanni clearly shows his talent for composition. The orchestra directed by Shardad Rohani was spectacular -- and the band members - the best musicians in the world. I am impressed with them all but Charlie Adams on drums just blows the audience away and the keyboard expertise of Bradley Joseph is strikingly phenomenal. This is an amazing concert that will live on forever in music history.
emupela Simply marvelous! I first saw this concert on TV in China in 1994. I have seen it a hundred times since and I continue to love it even more. This is very personal listening, you provide the wick and the fuel and let the music light your fire. I take my hat off to all the musicians on stage especially the woman in red and the conductor. The violin duet they perform on 'within attraction' is nothing short of magical. I think this is the kind of performance that simply can not be repeated. It was a once in a lifetime show and am sure all the musicians on stage will live to remember those moments for as long they live. It was very special.
Walter Pedro If there ever was anything like the perfect live performance... this MUST be it. While other concerts might tickle your fancy when it comes to your particular taste, this one meets the highest expectations of any true music-lover. The setting (the Acropolis), the lighting, the music and it's acoustics, the atmosphere, the moderate but distinctive glamor; everything tells you you're watching -and listening to- something special.I never heard of Yanni before I saw this stunning performance. Since the verbal introduction (however enthusiastic) of my friend did not convince me I started watching this DVD with certain skepticism. After my friend had pressed "play" however, it didn't take much longer than 5 minutes for me to get lost in -what only can be described as- an explosion of pure melody, visual pleasure and utter entertainment. It won't matter if you're into R'n'B or Hard Rock ... if you truly love music then you'll most certainly appreciate this masterpiece. This live performance probably sets the standard for a long, long time to come.Queen at Wembley was superb, no doubt about it. Now filter that experience, condense it, multiply it and add vintage.I'd recommend this ear/eye candy to anyone that has developed a taste for good music and all it's aspects. I'd also advise you fully exploit the quality of your audio-system when viewing Yanni at The Acroplois.
Bruce Lee The concert begins with Santorini a chilling track. Then Yanni and his amazing team produce a continuous flow of wonderful, amazing and refreshing music that has never been heard on this planet before. Karen Briggs the superhuman violinist,"the lady in red" just adds to this heavenly evening with her violin performance. Her solo performances are mind blowing. And so is Charlie Adams who is damn happy and excited to break his drums.Yanni looks God-like and plays with wonderful dexterity on a grand piano and many other synthesizers. Also Royal Philharmonic Orchestra team from London delivered a great performance.It was a perfect evening with perfect harmony of different musical instruments. It sounded like music made in heaven. I am sure the audience who were there that evening felt close enough to heaven. I wish I was there. A perfect masterpiece!!! I wish I could give it a 100 out of 10. Must see and you wont regret it.
