In My Time

What can I say about Yanni. His music is the ultimate in relaxation! 'In My Time' is my all-time favorite Yanni cd! Pure and emotionally provoking music that leaves you soothed and relaxed. The difference in this cd, compared to his others, is the piano focus that Yanni uses. Most of his other works are more synthesizer oriented. Don't get me wrong...those works are beautiful, but there is just something about his piano based compositions that really strike me. Very poignant. (I love solo piano anyway). I just think this really showcases Yanni's multitalented ability. As with all his music, Yanni composed and produced every song. He is accompanied on this cd w/ a variety of instrumentality.... acoustic violins, cello, bass, keyboards and percussion. Interestingly, each songs title really fits the mood of the song.

I am not a zealous Yanni fan and I do not write reviews very often. I, however, feel the urge to write something about this CD. Yes, it is beautiful and heart-touching as many other reviewers have already testified. Moreover, this CD is beyond relaxation music. It not only soothes your soul; it also elevates your spirit and enhances your physical well-being. I feel this CD, especially its two tracks One man dream and Felitsa, somehow works very well with water activities, be it swimming or spa. After vigorous swimming laps or hot spas, I turn on this CD and let the music take me into sound sleep and beautiful dreams. When I wake up, I feel fully charged and ready for anything. Even my eyesight gets sharpened. I look out to my garden and I see lush green, radiating red, vibrating yellow that I somehow usually miss. And my kids, my wife, my neighbors look more beautiful and happier than ever.

I have many of Yanni's CD's and have had the great fortune to see and hear him twice in concert. However, until I heard "In My Time", I don't believe that I had heard the essence of Yanni's heart and soul. This recording is personal; him and his piano. It draws one into the music and the emotions are felt. One can relate it to one's own life. The tenderness, the emotion, the gentleness....the passion, the caring...the beauty; it is all there. Yanni is the composer of this era who will go down in history with Mozart, Bach, Tchiakowsky and this CD shows why. If you like Yanni even a little, you cannot miss the thrill of this CD which will bring tears to your eyes and goosebumps to your body.
