Yanni - “Aria” Ode to Humanity… Live At The Acropolis, 25th Anniversary! 1080p Digitally Remastered

[@DarleneKoldenhoven]

Thanks for posting this Yanni. I am ever grateful to have had the opportunity to sing this with you. It remains one of THE highlights of my career and has touched many souls. One of my fans said this is what got him through his service in the Iraq and Afganistan wars. A wonderful message of hope for our world now. Timeless!

Rayos la mismísima Darlene en persona, señorita por más que busque las palabras, no serán jamás las exactas para agradecerle el gran regalo de volver a escuchar su hermosa, maravillosa y melodiosa voz angelical, la combinación de tan Bella mujer con estás cuerdas tan celosamente trabajadas hacen que su sola existencia la vuelvan una gran obra de arte esculpida en carne y hueso, y saber que se encuentra en perfectas condiciones, la convierten en una Leyenda viva en la música, que a la fecha no me resulta Agradable que no conozcan a la mujer que llevó este tema, a mi parecer, a ser la mejor versión de esta obra musical. Grande y de una voz celestial Darlene Koldenhoven.

[@DevilTravels]

Yanni live at the acropolis is perhaps the ultimate experience. I was watching it on TV with a surround sound system and it...well, I'm not sure how to explain how it made me feel. Mesmerized? Joyous? The visuals and sound production were immaculate. I want to experience it again.

[@cleigh8753]

I was fortunate to see Yanni and all the original principles of the first tour of Live at the Acropolis in Seattle -May 1997. Seattle was always the last stop of his concert tours and a bit extra special, since it was during the 10+ years he was dating Linda Evans who lived an hour south of Seattle. I have the original DVD and CD. I have seen Yanni 5 times in concert, but IMO, Live at the Acropolis is his finest collection of work. As a self taught piano player, learning to play Until the last Moment, is a cherished accomplishment.

Just to be clear, Yanni didn't write the song. He took the "Flower Duet" melody from the MUCH better French opera *"Lakmé",* added a bunch of pop shlock and rhythms to it -- and had two shrill singers warbling something close to the tune but not the lyrics. Listen to the original (especially the one sung by Sabine Devieilhe and Marianne Crebassa) and you might realize what an abomination this really is.

[@denovendenoven2587]

@@algallego There's actually been acoustic studies at three (3) of the major Greek venues and they are not as good as we believe. The thought that a coin dropping on stage or a piece of paper being torn can be heard from the back row has been disproven. Only about 1/2 way up can they hear those sounds and that assumes no one is talking or making noise. Here, it was just great sound system that did it. He can thank 20th century (at that time in Sept 1993) technology for the great sound. The theatre had little to do with it.

I am so grateful that this is back on KZbin. It was taken down for a year or two and I’d missed it so much. Yes indeed, it’s by far the best version of ‘Aria’. Thank you Yanni.

One of the most beautiful pieces ever written.

Easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever listened to, Darlene you have the voice of an Angel.

Mis oídos se deleitan con tan fabulosa melodía y esplendorosa voces. No cabe duda que la música traspasa fronteras. Un idioma universal.
