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.

I waited for a whole 11 years for this DVD and i finally got my hands on it!! i like all its tracks specially Aria and One man's dream..they blow me away. An absolute must for every music lover! i first heard it when i was a kid in 1995. i began liking the track Aria and after repeated listening started liking the whole album (u know i was just a kid then, with little interest for songs). being able to see the concert was a dream come true thanks to this DVD! i have now seen it many times now but don't seem to get enough of it. the royal philharmonic orchestra coupled with Yanni's charisma create such an aura that simply take you to some other world. wish i was there to watch the spectacle in Greece then. but the DVD does manage to recreate the event with its magnificent sound and video quality....go ahead and buy it.

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.

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.
