I was a bit of a skeptic when I was realized that Yanni Voices was classified in the "New Age" section. That section was not really a section I ventured out easily to. Not sure if my taste in music has changed or whether this is the type of music that appeals to everyone but I love this CD. It has a bit of all types of music and I wonder if it due to the fact that ensemble includes four different, yet complementing artists. It certainly is a rare treasure to find such talented musicians all sitting in one cd. I would be really surprised if you did not like it too.

In this cd, Yanni teams up with four young vocalists -- think of voices as pure as Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban or Sarah Brightman -- and I think the result will usher in a whole new crop of Yanni fans. I especially love Nathan Pacheco's songs (Omaggio is my favorite); these songs are the perfect way for today's kids to ease into classical music. I'm less enthusiastic about the English songs for some reason, they seem too bland for me, but the italian and latin songs are wonderful to listen to. Interspersed with the vocals is Yanni's distinctive instrumental sound, so diehard Yanni fans will also find something to like. Overall, a good cd to have.
What's great about it: Nathan Pacheco's songs are wonderful!
What's not so great: I didn't care for the songs in English

Yanni has done it again with this cd. Yanni Voices is a good cd. I'm not typically a "New Age" fan. However, I have always liked listening to Yanni occasionally. I think he has a nice sound, and is very calming. My children even listen to him while going to sleep sometimes. I think it could have been a better cd, without the voices... but was good either way.

Yanni introduces some fantastic young singers in this new CD. The music is an eclectic mix of styles and languages, with Yanni's familiar melodies as the base to all of the songs. There were no bad songs on this CD! The following are my absolute favorites:
The Keeper - Leslie Mills. Mills' etherial voice adds to Yannis' haunting melody.
Our Days - Leslie Mills. This time, Leslie Mills song adds power to song with a decidedly Middle Eastern flair.
1001 - Yanni. This solo piece by Yanni is powerful and emotional. Yanni at his best!
Vivi Il Tuo Sogno - Nathan Pacheco. Pacheco's operatic voice adds new layers to this romantic, soulful melody.
Set Me Free - Chloe. Chloe's passionate vocals are edgy and powerful.

Yanni and producer Ric Wake have outdone themselves once again. After two years of hard work, and four of the most new and talented young voices in music today, Yanni is debuting another fantastic album, "Voices". Yanni's new CD features the extraordinary voices of four up and coming young singers; Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Ender Thomas and Leslie Mills. They sing some of Yanni's classics as well as debuting some of their own new music!
I grew up listening to Yanni and was very excited when he had a new CD coming out. While it is definitely not like his past work, it does have a lot of more upbeat and powerful songs. My favorite vocalist on the album is Leslie Mills, especially her song 'The Keeper'. I fell in love with it the very first time I listened to it. In fact, I hit replay just so I could hear it again! her other song, 'Before the Night Ends' is also truly amazing.
If you are looking for traditional Yanni I suggest listening to 'Our Days', 'Orchid' or 'Moments Without Time'. All are beautifully orchestrated and reminiscent of the Yanni of years gone by.

The music and the singers go very well together. I've never listened to any of Yanni's music before, but with the singers he chose to sing on this album it seems he's trying to pull in a younger crowd. And it works because I really liked a few of the songs! The two women who sing on this album are very talented. I liked song #5 Before the Night Ends, #11 Set Me Free, and #16 Nei Tuoi Occhi (In The Mirror).
What's great about it: The women singers are amazing.
