Yanni

Yanni (pronounced /ˈjɑːni/ YAH-nee), born Yiannis Hrysomallis (Greek: Γιάννης Χρυσομάλλης Giannis Chrysomallis) (born November 14, 1954) is a Greek self-taught pianist, keyboardist, and composer.. Yanni’s music "was adopted by the New Age movement as it was gaining strong mainstream momentum, but it might be more accurately described as contemporary instrumental." The "composer/pianist's music reflects his encounters with cultures around the world.". Howie Grapek remarked in The Palm Beach Post's PBPulse that "there are few modern-day composers with a unique sense of music and style which is truly their own. To compare new-age music with classic rock is a stretch, but for Yanni, it is possible. This Greek composer marries contemporary new-age spirituality with today’s pop attitudes and delivers a unique sound."...
