Who hasn't heard about Yanni? Hailing from Greece, Yiannis Hrysomallis (his real name) is a self-taught (!) pianist/composer who gained world fame in the 1990s by being nominated for multiple Grammy awards and accumulating dozens of platinum and gold albums globally.
His music has often been likened to that of compatriot composer Vangelis and often described as "new age" (a term disputed by some critics) or "contemporary intrumental". He is also known for his outdoor live concerts in front of tens of thousands of people, with "Yanni Live At The Acropolis" (1994) being the most famous.
From his 8th album, "Dare To Dream" (1992), I have selected "A Night To Remember", an instantly feel-good track that I felt was a suitable track for this special day.
Merry Christmas!!!
