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.
