Being a Yanni fan I couldn't wait for this CD to be released. I was a little disappointed, his other cd's are mind blowing and this one is just so so. It is still classic Yanni but something is lacking, the music just doesn't lull you away like the older stuff. I would still recommend this cd to others as it may have been just me putting way too many expectations on it (you no that 'the longer you go without, the more you crave something, and when you finally cave in it isn't as great you you had made it to be in your mind)

We had some friends over for dinner last night and so I popped in the Yanni CD. Most of them weren't people who would have ever thought to buy anything Yanni but as the lyrics started they were impressed. His music is so relaxing that it's perfect for an evening in or a nice dinner with friends. I liked the idea of the other singers on there which really spiced it up. Overall, this was a great classical CD and very enjoyable.

I’ve always been a fan of Yanni and so when the new “voices” album came out, I was thrilled to be able to go out and get a copy! Each one of the vocalists have such a unique voice and each song creates a different feel. One of my favorites on the album is “Moments Without Time” because I remember that melody so vividly years ago and now to hear it again in a different way is still such a joy to listen to. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is new to Yanni…you may just surprise yourself. And for those of us who have always enjoyed his music, then you’re in for a real treat.
What's great about it: fresh take on the music, new talent, bonus DVD

I got the new Yanni and honestly had no idea what to expect. It surprised me since the new CD/DVD set not only contains the Yanni grand instrumentals that I know and love, but also a new addition, voices! Yes, Yanni had his music caressed by lyrics in his new style. He is no longer just a New Age musician, but has reinvented himself in a new way. It was a wonderful joy to listen to and I highly recommend Voices.
What's great about it: New style and forward thinking

With the release of Yanni Voices, I have been reintroduced to an artist I only knew of vaguely, but also introduced to four intriguing artists who joined Yanni in this album.
The album has many songs that are new favorites on my Zune. No, not all of the songs will be my favorites, but I recognize the high quality of both the music and the voice in every track.
This album has such musical variety to it -- there is a strong male ballad, for example, followed by a soft, female pop song. Although I love many types of music, if I'm in a somber mood for a ballad, I do not want to next be jumping up and dancing to a pop song. And vice versa. For this reason, I would have preferred that the four new singers be introduced separately - perhaps in a four-CD set? - so that I could listen to each artist's music separately.
This little preference is easily remedied by downloading the CD onto my computer and separating the tracks into playlists, so I still give the Yanni Voices project 5 stars and a high recommendation.
What's great about it: The music is pure and beautifully composed
What's not so great: I wish each artist were on a different CD

I truly enjoy listening to the relaxing songs on my Yanni Voices Cd, and have liked all of the vocals especially. The artists that sing the Yanni melodies have great voices, and truly put their heart and soul into their work.
What's great about it: I enjoy the relaxing tunes, and the vocals are excellent
What's not so great: Some of the songs do seem to run together.

Yanni is amazing. The man doesn’t just play his music, he is his music. You can feel his soul coming out of every pore of his body. I think that I may have forgotten to breathe for a moment. Yanni is truly a phenomenal performer. I was mesmerized.
If you are the type of person where music can move you, this is what will happen when you listen to Yanni Voices. The first song and I was hooked. One song literally moved me to tears because it was so beautiful.
Definitely a MUST BUY!
What's great about it: Mesmerizing and Talented Performers

When I first saw it I was skeptical. It was for Yanni. Yes I listen to all kinds of music and I grew up with instrumentals from my ballet days but Yanni? He was not something I listened to regularly. When I first read the premise behind the album I was intrigued. He was reinterpreting his old music and putting words to it. The fact that he was attempting this impressed me right there. From the moment the CD started I was surprised. You could actually feel what he was trying to get across through the music. And it only got better from there. The more I listened the more impressed I was. The singers he chose seemed to fit what he wanted to portray beautifully. I would definitely recommend this as something you should pick up.
