Yanni Voices Live 2009 WOW!

Last night the last part of my Mother’s Day gift came together (after much difficulty) and my mom and I went to see Yanni Voices.  I’ve always liked Yanni’s music and wondered how it would come together with voices.  One word: Beautifully.

There was some interesting interplay between Yanni and all the singers and musicians, and after the intermission, the show took a definitely sexual overtone, but the music was amazing.

Each of the four singers had such different qualities.

Chloe ~ the brunette  ~  a poweful seductive voice, very sexy.

Ender ~ lyrics in spanish ~ was very enthusiastic. I’d say his voice was the one I connected with the least, but it was still beautiful.

Leslie ~ the blonde ~ her voice was mystical and lyrical. Her lyrics poetic. I particularly liked her.

Nathan ~ lyrics in Italian (I believe) a stunning voice that literally took my breath away each time he sang. Powerful, strong, but lyrical and gentle. AMAZING.

If you have a chance to see Yanni live I’d definitly grab it while you can. If he’s not coming to a town near you, grab the Yanni Voices CD, it’s an amazing compilation of talent.

Speaking of talent, we haven’t even talked about the musicians yet. OVER the top. Amazing. From the violin, cello, guitar, to a harp solo like nothing from this world. Even a rockin guitar solo. The trumpet player was so amazing there really are no words. When all of it came together it was a 3 (yes, 3) hour show that rivals anyone I’ve ever seen live.

If you’ve never heard of Yanni or Yanni Voices, Yanni is an instrumental composer. He’s never used lyrics or the voice as an instrument in his work before. For this project, he found 4 up and coming vocalists and had them create lyrics for his compositions. What was created was 4 completely different types of music, each one incredible in its own way.

If you haven’t heard Yanni, here’s a little taste.

This is Leslie ~ The Keeper

Here’s Nathan with Enchantment (turn this one up as loud as your speakers can handle. It’s much better that way.

Enjoy!
