Born in 1954, the Greek keyboardist and composer Yanni has been successful worldwide with his CDs for 25 years. It is as difficult to describe his music as it is easy to like it: the melodious mixture of world music and New Age elements is immediately catchy. in 1994, Yanni released the concert video "Live At The Acropolis," which, with over eight million units sold, was the most successful music video after Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at the time. The excellently photographed concert film, which was recorded at the Herodes Atticus Theater in Athens, received an Emmy nomination and spent 229 weeks on the US music video charts.
