Exotic locales and famous monuments! Adagios and waltzes! Spectacle and bombast! A didgeridoo and an orchestra too! Yanni's amazing hair!! All this and much more make Tribute a feast sure to be eagerly devoured by the Greek composer-keyboardist's legions of fans--and it's not hard to understand why, as it is an impressive achievement. The DVD chronicles Yanni's 1997 concerts at India's Taj Mahal (the first concert staged there) and Beijing's Forbidden City (the first-ever performance there by a Western artist), and these splendid settings are certainly shown to good effect throughout this well-directed, great-sounding program. As for the music, well, that's all a matter of taste; what might be schlocky to one person will be beautiful and majestic to another. But regardless of one's musical leanings, no one can dispute that the 90-minute concert, combining numbers from both locations, provides a healthy and representative dose of Yanni's New Age-cum-classical-cum-world music sounds, and they are well played by the international cast of nearly 50 musicians and singers (violinist Karen Briggs and guitarist Pedro Eustache acquit themselves especially well among the soloists). And that's not all, as the DVD is loaded with bonus features. Principal among them is "No Borders, No Boundaries," a beautifully photographed, hourlong film narrated by actor Christopher Plummer; part documentary and part travelogue, it contains musician profiles, Yanni biographical material, some Indian and Chinese history, and information about how the concerts came about. Other features include a lengthy Yanni interview and discography, as well as audio options. In the end, Yanni detractors are unlikely to be converted, but then, they can always put on their Limp Bizkit CDs instead. --Sam Graham |

Splendid piece of music !! |
This is one of the DVD's which I used to listed very often. May be in a relaxed evening, busy times, while driving, and the music refreshes you all the time. Title after title, more and more you listen further you get loved and impressed by the manner the music is presented.
Lovely piece of work !!! Recommended for musical lovers to buy. |

Invigorating and wonderful production |
I am purchasing this DVD for myself and one for my grandson. Yes, I have heard it, via a friend, and I was immediately taken with it. The talent is magnificent. Not sure always what Yanni is doing, but he seems to be enjoying himself, and I have to disagree with comments against him. He and the producers have provided us with something wonderful. I think those who like this would like David Phelps (probably my favorite). I say this, because I put him on right after Yanni, and saw some similarity. To me Yanni Tribute is inspirational, and watching the faces in the audience is a treat in itself. The singers, the musicians, the audience! Bravo!!!!
There are not many albums that I like as a whole, but I like this one, big time. |

Great show! |

A great show. After watching the Acropolis over and over again it was a great pleasure to watch this show. Although I had the CD long ago - watching it was a different story. |

A musical experience. |

I love all of Yanni's musical DVDs. It more fun to watch the joy in his musicians faces as they play than just listening on a CD. Great music, great fun, get all of Yanni on DVD. |
