I had never heard any of Yanni's music before this CD, and I will be checking out some of his other CDs. The music on this CD mixes a somewhat Moroccan sound with a pushing beat that is very unique. With an open sound and amazing voices, you can't go wrong with this CD.

I like Yanni and really enjoyed the new sounds of this album. This was not my favorite album, but it would be a good one to have around for background music when entertaining.

I was lucky enough to get to review the Yanni Voices CD as part of the One2One network! I heard some clips online already and new the music was going to be beautiful. As previously mentioned I love pretty much all music. There is little I don't like. I am particularly attracted to the words in songs so I was excited for the Yanni Voices CD to come out!
I definitely had some favorites and don't want to spoil it for anyone but I will share this with you -Leslie Mills has a beautiful voice and this song...I REALLY really like the song The Keeper! Google it - it is great!
For the first time in five years, Yanni is returning to the stage to launch a world tour!! featuring 50+stops throughout the US including Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and more!!
What's great about it: I simply love the music with the voices

Yanni Voices features the talents of not only famed singer Yanni, but also the talented voices of Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Ender Thomas, and Leslie Mills. This is a BEAUTIFUL cd and I can safely say (once I figure out the lyrics) I will be sure to be singing along in my car.
My favorite song on the disk? Mi Todo Eres Tu (Until the Last Moment) takes that cake because I love LOVE powerful operatic duets. Chloe and Ender’s voices work SO well together. I wasn't disappointed with this cd at all and I suggest that if you like classical music, opera music, New Age music or wanted to hear a new take on any of the aforementioned types of music get out and get this cd!
What's great about it: Amazing music, beautiful voices, beautiful duets.

Yanni who? I had only a brief knowledge of Yanni before getting a sneak peak back in February of the new PBS Special Yanni Voices. Since I wasn't a huge fan before, I don't have anything to compare it to. However, I find this CD relaxing and the vocalists very talented.
This is the first time ever Yanni music is being heard with vocals on this recently released CD Yanni Voices. This is not my normal type of music but it is very soothing and enjoyable to listen to.
The calming affect was put to the test one evening when I was having a very bad night with my two youngest children. I had picked them up from daycare and they were both crying and thrashing about. I thought I was going to lose it - whining kids. I had Yanni Voices in my CD player and decided to play it full blast. Within 30 seconds quiet. Both children had their fingers in their mouth and there was no more whining. I don't know if it was a coincide but it appeared to work for them. For this alone, the CD will stay in my player in my van.

I'd not given Yanni much notice before, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn more about Yanni at a blogging conference earlier this year.
The four singers he's brought on board (Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Leslie Mills and Ender Thomas) are fine vocalists, and the instrumentals are outstanding.
I recommend you give this one a closer look.
What's great about it: It was excellent to see Yanni creations with lyrics

Never having listened to Yanni's music, I wasn't sure what to expect from Yanni Voices, a collaboration between the veteran instrumentalist and four young vocalists. Adjectives I would use to describe the songs include soaring, passionate, energetic, and rich. Nathan, Chloe, Ender, and Leslie are not only amazing vocalists, they also wrote the lyrics to the songs they sing.
I have enjoyed this CD and listen to it a lot while working on the computer or in the car. It has a unique sound and the different songs and vocalists compliment each other well.
The biggest surprise has been my kids' reaction to the music. I watched part of the PBS concert the night it premiered and set it to record. Even when I was listening from the next room, my kids were still watching and dancing. They loved it! The next night they played the concert again and staged a show of their own. We all have our personal favorites, which interestingly enough include each of the singers. When we get into the car, my kids ask to play the CD.

Yanni has had an amazing career so far and now he teams up with Grammy-winning producer, Ric Wake, to showcase four new vocalists who contributed to writing the songs on this cd. They were encouraged to write for the songs that moved them most. And, for me, that would be all of them as I enjoyed this cd from start to finish. The four talented vocalists are Nathan Pacheco, Ender Thomas, Leslie Mills and Chloe and they blend seamlessly with Yanni's compositions. I especially love "Omaggio", "Amare di Nuovo", "Orchid" and the Indian accented "Our Days". I love the mix of Spanish, Italian and English. This cd with its bonus dvd is calm and peaceful yet alive with feeling. It is reflective and meditative. It connects me to a deeper place within. There is enough variation to enjoy here but overall there is a mood created. It is reminiscent of Andrea Bocelli with hints of Enya. When I listen, I feel I am on the back porch gazing out at a limitless blue sky. There is a Japanese garden where koi are swimming and the I'm sipping some Earl Grey tea. The moment is now and everything feels right with the world. Bravo artists! The Yanni voices world tour began April 10, so if you like this music, head out and experience it live!
What's great about it: soaring beautiful melodies and lyrics
What's not so great: good for new age/world music fans
