Advantages: A fun show with a lot of energy and some impeccable multicultural performances Disadvantages: A couple of pieces not so great, audience presence can be disturbing
eventually hit gold with his spectacular live show called "YanniLive at the Acropolis," recorded in 1993 on the historical ruins of the Herod Atticus Theater in Athens. In this performance Yanni combined his synthesizers, core band and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in one huge spectacle, the recording remaining one of the best-selling videos of all times over ten years later. Further live concerts took place at the Taj Mahal and China's Forbidden City in 1997 to smashing success, in the process Yanni winning over a huge fan base that has stayed very loyal to him over the years. And now, after a couple of less significant albums ("If I Could Tell You" and "Ethnicity," appearing in 2000 and 2003 respectively), Yanni has again taken to the live stage with an ensemble band of players gathered from all over the world for another spectacular tour ...

The Hotel Acropolis is situated on the Via Verdi in the small resort of Cattolica, on the adriatic coast of Italy. Last August me, my family and my baby daughter travelled there for a one week holiday. Ours was a package deal with Airtours and we flew to Rimini, from Gatwick, with Monarch airlines. On arrival at Rimini airport, we were taken by coach to the hotel. Obviously this was all arranged for us through our tour operator, but if you decide to plan it independently, the hotel itself can organise transport to pick you up. After about half hour or so we arrived at our destination.
Ok so the hotel isnt exactly much to look at, looks a little old fashioned and the lobby decor isnt exactly up to date, but on arrival the staff were so welcoming. The hotel is owned and run by a lovely little old couple, who even come round at dinner ...

Album Notes
LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS is available in CD and DVD versions in the boxed set YANNI: THE PRIVATE YEARS, which also includes the CDs IN MY TIME, REFLECTIONS OF PASSION, IN CELEBRATION OF LIFE and DARE TO DREAM. Personnel includes: Yanni (piano, keyboards); Shardad Rohani (conductor, violin); Karen Briggs (violin); Julie Homi, Bradley Joseph (keyboards); Ric Fierabracci (bass); Charlie Adams (drums); Michael "Kalani" Bruno (percussion). Recorded live at the Herod Atticus Theatre, Athens, Greece on September 25, 1993. Yanni has enjoyed sensational success over the past several years with his lush, densely layered, new age orchestrations. But the Greek keyboardist/composer's overtly romantic musings achieve a bold new dimension when augmented by a full symphony orchestra, and some of the more rhythmic elements in his music, previously masked under a wall of synthesizers, come to the fore--and the resulting music is much closer to progressive rock (and his own native roots) than new age. Thus we have distinctly Greek rhythmic cycles (in seven) keying the variations on the opening "Santorini" and "Keys To The Imagination," richly colored by percussion fanfares and instrumental breaks--demonstrating that the breadth of Yanni's music and his interest in popular forms is greater than many of his diehard fans have grown to expect. And on an arrangement like "The Rain Must Fall," Yanni frames his boleroesque piano shadings against a mysterious backbeat and fretless bass, which soon develops into--of all things--an R&B-styled slap bass groove. But those fans drawn to the purely lyric side of Yanni's art won't be disappointed by the composer's programming on YANNI LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS. Such keyboard-inflected fantasias as "Reflections Of Passion," "One Man's Dream" and "Until The Last Moment" illustrate Yanni's sentimental yearnings, while the Oriental flourishes of "Swept Away" demonstrate why he's achieved such an immense following among adult contemporary listeners.
