Search - Yanni :: In the Mirror

In 1997, when Yanni switched to a new record company, his old label rushed to release not one, not two, but three compilations of his old recordings, basically trying to capitalize on his popularity as hastily as it could. No doubt some fans purchased one, two, or all three not realizing they were buying repackaged older works. This is one of those recordings, and it's a decent assortment of Yanni's early-'90s works. It includes the first five tracks from In My Time, six selections from Dare to Dream, one track each from his first four albums and a live, more palatable rendition of the uniquely annoying "Aria." Basically, it's an acceptable sampler of quieter Yanni material with some moments of power and punch tossed in for spice. --Terry Wood
