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).

Yanni's the Greatest.......2007-06-08

Tribute is one of the Best Concerts Ever. Yanni is the best musician ever and his Tribute album is GOLD. Some of the best pieces of music that Yanni has created are in this album. Performing this great music in front of the Magical Taj Mahal and Forbidden City makes it an unforgetable EVENT

A Must See - Very Powerful.......2007-05-12

When I first saw this video years ago on PBS, the concert was broken into segments of music clips and PBS soliciting for funds, which did it absolutely no justice. Truly the magical power that is embedded into this concert increases as you move through it in a continuous fashion. One can feel the powerful energies of the Taj Mahal as you are embroiled into the music of this concert. It is a masterpiece of talent from around the globe and imparts to the viewer a peaceful energy of love, appreciation and oneness for all the people of the world. It brings one into a space of happiness, joy and spiritual reverance. I can not say enough good things about this concert. It is a must to own for anyone who is awakening to the powers of the Universe.

YANNI - UNIQUE, TALENTED & INSPIRING.......2007-03-17

GIFTED AND TALENTED COMPOSERS LIKE YANNI ARE LIKE RAINBOWS, 'RARE & BEAUTIFUL'. THE FACT THAT HE CHOSE TO SHARE HIS INNER BEAUTY AND INSPIRATION IN THE FORM OF MUSIC WITH THE WORLD ONLY SHOWS YET ANOTHER OF HIS GIFTED QUALITIES, HIS LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR LIFE AND HUMANITY. IF ONLY WE HAD MORE PEOPLE LIKE YANNI, THIS WOULD BE A MORE PEACEFUL AND SERENE WORLD. THANK YOU YANNI.

Yanni: Tribute.......2007-03-15

Of course, it all started with Yanni: Live At The Acropolis. The intoxicating mixture of upbeat and romantic/nostalgic moods with that catchy Greek rhythm. A soundtrack for any life with all its highs and lows, happiness and sadness, triumph and tragedy. And then Yanni realizes that all cultures have music to offer and that music transcends languages and barriers of all types, as well as ages! And so along comes Tribute, enhanced by the souls and instruments of different cultures inhabiting the world of today as well as ages long past and almost forgotten. And as exciting as the concert is to watch; both the performers and the audience, it only whets the appetite to have an opportunity to see a live performance. To be part of that whirl of humanity and to drop all mental and physical barriers so that you can be part of that collective world dance that celebrates life and its gifts.

Amazing.......2007-02-19

I was raised listening to all genres of music from country to rock and roll, Beatles to Henry Mancini. I attribute my love of music to my mother who always had music playing in our home. This dvd is one of the most captivating music experiences that I can recall. The talent of the musicians who travel with Yanni is extraordinary to say the least! What an incredible group of master musicians! They are truly enjoying what they do! It's powerful, beautiful,romantic,and fun! You'll watch this over and over!
