It has been two decades that every time I’m down and need an uplift mentally, I watch this video. My respect to all the instruments, especially Yani, but I always advance the video to 2:37 to listen to the bass part. One-of-the-kind bass piece. He is amazing! Violin piece is filled with senses and emotion. She is amazing too. But bass is my favorite.
A friend of mine turned me on to Yanni over 35 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. The man is a musical genius. Sometimes I have listened to him for hours. The mood that Yanni's music put's you in is beyond words. He has a God given talent. The world is a better place because of this God given talent. Karen Briggs....where to start. She has a God given talent that brings joy to people all over the world. No matter how many times I listen to her or Yanni I still get goosebumps and raised hair. The musicians that play with him are also musical greats in their own right. How can you not be moved? I encourage people to give Yanni a listen to. I know I was glad I did. You can't judge a book by its cover.
In 2025 ???..... Yes.. I am still happily listening to this timeless masterpiece.. Thanks to Musical Genius Maestro Yanni and his band members.. May God bless you all.. 🎶🎵🌹💖🙏😊✌👍
20 years, later this never old. Charlie Adams on Drums lays down the groove allowing that bass player to just kill. Karen Briggs just steps in to say, take out your pad and pen, we're going to school.
I have seen Yanni in concert several times and he has had other violinist on his tours that are excellent in their own but for me nothing like Karen. she is the one and only not only in play but stage presence. When she started to play that amazing violin , she commanded your full attention. She is like no other...period.
Karen Briggs is the better violinist. She's hands down the best one there's ever been that I've ever heard. And the other guy here is right, there have been others, but still to this day nobody has been able to get on par with her mind blowing performance here at the Acropolis. I'm not just saying one song, I'm saying all of them. But you can see when she's playing here that she just knows that this is her time, that this was a once in a lifetime kind of performance and you can just see it in her face that she knows it too!!
I never tire watching this classic Yanni concert at the beautiful Acropolis. Karen Briggs' part in "The Rain Must Fall" is still the most amazing violin piece I've ever heard! Amazing talent ❤ THANK YOU LADY IN RED!!
Every time I watch this performance I am overwhelmed by the sheer majesty of Karen Briggs solo. You can see it in her face how much she loves playing. She knows in that moment that she is making history with her performance and the glow she has just demands respect, love and appreciation for what she is doing!
Everything about this song is absolutely crazy. There’s so many layers involved. The violinist, bass guitar and the drummer goes together so beautifully. Right when you think this song can’t get any better, every 30 seconds it just keeps getting better and better. At the end, I am almost at the point of having tears in my eyes.
This violin solo is one of the most beautiful renditions Ive ever seen. She starts quietly, like welcoming the first drops hitting the ground, then she brings it to a climax, like she was dancing in the rain, and then she makes it scream and shout loud, like feeling so much happiness and pleasure. This is beyond perfection, i never get tired of listening to this masterpiece. Thank you, Yanni.
To me Luiz the voilin solo is the same interpetition that you made, but its on a side of starting something, then progressing, then beating up the rivals and then lastly overtaking them, in a way they dont come ahead. Taking a leap so faar ahead that it sets a benchmark......
I find a complete serenity every time I listened to his wonderful music. I do not how he does it but it has very calming effect---Bravo Yanni and regards from Mogadishu, Somalia
To this day, no one has out done Karen Briggs on this solo. The amount of emotion she is able to convey. Unparallelly. The other soloists always sounded robotic and missed its soul. BRAVO Karen BRAVO
Yanni Live at The Acropolis after 25 years should now be renamed to being Yanni and Karen Briggs Live at The Acropolis!! Who else agrees?? Just watching this one song you should be able to tell that I am right. Karen Briggs probably never expected that this live concert would be so HUGE back when it was performed 25 years ago! But it's still great even today!! What makes it even better though is that anyone who watches her solo in this song should be able to tell how much love and joy and happiness she emits from performing! She knows she's participating in a once in a lifetime kind of performance and you can see that on her face as she does it! It's impossible not to respect and love her ability and sheer unrivaled talent with a Violin 🎻!!
I remember little 5 year old me sitting next to my dad, watching this spectacular concert on TV. Since then Yanni has inspired many around the world and myself to appreciate music. Karen Briggs was an inspiration for me to start playing violin at a young age. I will forever love you Yanni. Thank you for all the wonderful years of your love, humility, kindness, inspiration and your magnificent music. Your music is a bridge between heaven and earth. ♥️
I have no words. One of my favorites songs ever. Thank you Yanni for this masterpiece, still brings tears to my eyes. Karen Briggs is second to none, as well as Fabricio. Waiting for your next concert. ❤️
Hello thanks for your comments and supports, your comments and constant supports have brought me this far. Keep supporting❤️ Please send me a mail via yanniofficial893@gmail.com
Finally I know her... on a video, she thanks Yanni, persuading her for Achropolis live. That's when she was called LADY IN RED. one of the best violin player in the world. The world will remember you forever Karen Briggs
Almost three decades ago, this album was my formal introduction to western music, and possibly what led to a lifetime love of music. I still remember every song from this album note for note! Immaculate!
The violinist summarized everything that is Yanni---perfection. That lady was so incredible that the audience couldn't wait for her to land before applauding. I watched this on PBS when it first aired over two decades ago and she hasn't escaped my memory. I have not been seeing her in Yanni's line up of performers, I hope she's alive and doing great. I remain a crazy fan of Yanni's all these years.
@@tonidavis4739 Glad to know that she's alive and doing great. I will check her out and if she performs in my area, I would attend -- of course after COVID-19 menacing..
After almost 20 years from the first time I fell in love with her violin, Yanni and the rest of the orchestra as a child in a small Colombian village, I finally made it to Athens, I was able to revive this concert ,looking at the Herodes Atticus Theatre. Thank you for this amazing experience
Man, this song never fails to make me cry and have goosebumps. The bass solo is everything. The violin solo is immaculate. And of course Yanni himself is so good and you can feel his passion on this performance. So glad my dad played this album a lot growing up.
I'm of the same mind......It's difficult to articulate how this music makes us feel.....sometimes tears are enough. I'm glad, like you, we are man enough to admit it.
Am I the only one to notice that at the end of the violin solo, Karren Briggs was about to burst of emotion into tears? Respect to these unique musicians and of Yanni who gathered so many gems
Karen absolutely KILLED it! She took an amazing concert and slammed a bright orange EXCLAMATION mark on it!!!!!!! She was in the zone at 5:10! I could almost swear I saw smoke coming from those strings! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Orange it is! She rocks the color and exudes such joy as she vibrantly plays that electric violin. When she plays she conveys all that is positive, energenic and balanced in the world as we become just as infectiously enthusiastic as she is! The drummer also. Both portray such emotional drive when they play. But there will never be another Karen Briggs. Man she is awesome!
@@estelladog1 I'm sure Karen looks great in orange, but the dress in this video is actually red! Also, this famous red dress was stolen from Karen right after this performance, by some jealous person😱. The thief didn't stop anything though, because Karen continues to give amazing performances to this day!
I was 23 years old, my father was 60 years old, he was a musician and a big fan of Yanni, from an early age I was exposed to Yanni's music, I took drums to play drums with Yanni's music , when I was 5 years old I learned to play the piano and now I can play almost all of his "masterpieces", I am very proud because I can play all of his masterpieces. If I have the opportunity, I will go to your live show. From Vietnam with love 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow, that's a great story.I took piano lessons but not for long. My grandma was my teacher until she moved away, Now I regret it. Congratulations to you and your dad.
Breathtaking percussions, bass and violin. It's been a good 5 minutes I finished watching this.. and I'm still breathing heavily. Whoa.. mad respect for the musicians and da boss YANNI
Their best concert ever. This is my 2nd favorite song. Karen Briggs' performance was exceptional and second to none. Same with Ric Fierabracci, his bass solo and tones throughout were smoother than butter. Outstanding orchestration and emotional depth. This can never be reproduced again. Thank you for acknowledging and admiring this masterpiece again for audiences of all ranges to appreciate and enjoy.
You are very observant my friend… And also very correct! I just wanted to make this once-in-a-lifetime concert, at its highest quality, available to everyone in the world regardless of financial means!… Sending you all my love, your friend, Yanni❤️
This is the more beautiful melody ever compose for a mother in all the times , thank you Yanni for this marvelous gift , thanks God I have my mother but she has Akzaimer disease since 9 years ago and I take care of her , but I had the opportunities tu listen this song with her before she got this horrible disease , I enjoy it with her, thank you God and thank you Yanni.
Outstanding bass and violin solo. The feeling Karen gives to her tone is just amazing, it makes me wanna cry every single time i hear it. You can literaly hear the storm in that solo, and the calm at the end, after the rain has fallen.
I'm not sure a more beautiful arrangement has ever been performed since this show. I vividly remember watching it on VHS in my youth..it is now a staple for long plane rides..something about One Man's Dream at 37k feet gets me.
Oh My God. I wonder if Yanni understands how much "we get it".....It's as if I could die while watching this and have a smile on my face. At 5:52, Miss Griggs's violin wails and withers just beyond control as she commands it back.....simply incredible.....and the bass player, my God, talk about pushing your instrument to the limit! Yanni, if by any chance you ever read this, THANK YOU for arranging these beautiful Humans to play your beautiful compositions.
I had the good fortune of going to a Yanni concert in the 90’s and I was blown away by Karen. She’s beyond anything I’ve ever heard or seen before. Amazing!
One of the greatest musical performances I've ever seen and heard in my life. I grew up listening to this album, and this song was the absolute pinnacle. Simply breathtaking, and to this day it still hits so hard. Thank you to Yanni and every amazing musician who brought this to life!
As often, when a day may go ugly, this music has been a source of inspiration for years to change that mood. The headphones come out, the volume goes up, sitting down and wash within the cascade of vibrations that splash my body and soul, to realign and purge what doesn't belong there. It never fails to charge my imagination to produce some great Art. 48hrs at a time. That allows you to pick one instrument and focus on that one thru the whole album. You'll be surprised but what you miss just playing thru. Every little jingle or note, comes alive. And the music would be poorer without them. A Masterpiece of Yanni and company. Bravo.
In one word --- "Wow!" I have this CD, "Live at the Acropolis," and it is awesome. This is my first time "seeing" a performance from it. I didn't know the violinist was a Black female. I am pleasantly surprised. Again, this is an awesome CD I picked it up many years ago while in private practice. Get the CD!
you should really question the validity of your perception of what BLACK is- what YOU think is based on being weak minded and brainwashed and has nothing to do with reality or maybe her self perception and other people's perception. People like you have a mental attitude that propagates some of the most invalid constructs that humans have in modern society. But based on your profile name, I guess that's the business you are in .
Yanni's music is a magical shower of enchantment. When listening to his music, one can feel the increase in life energy in the soul. Yanni's music also pours immense joy into the soul 🎸🎹🎻🥁🎶🎶🎵💕🌹😇🙏
This is so BEAUTIFUL and Awesome every one in this Orchestra are so talented but i have to this violinist she gives me the chills wow Thank you Yanni for putting all this together I have been listening to you for years and will keep listening
Every time I watch and listen to this video, it is as If I am watching it for the first time, every time. The bond between that violin and that violinist is unparallel, no one can play that way, it is like they are fused to each other and refuse to leave sight of each other. A true love... S T U N N I N G player and Artist.
until now, this still gives me goosebumps .. a wonderfully written song with outstanding bass and violin solo. Music has everything for us to be mind-blown. kudos to Yanni
The overall performance was a "Master Class" in session starting with the percussion, followed by the bassist who was in a zone of his own, 🔥 and lastly the violinist acknowledging the bass playing "groove" just added the icing on the cake. Even after all these years I still get chill bumps 🥶.

Dude is jamming the heck out of that bass, and the woman is tearing it up on that violin, and she looks great in that pretty red outfit.
His name is Ric Fierabracci.
Her name is Karen Briggs
Yanni, oh YES.
It has been two decades that every time I’m down and need an uplift mentally, I watch this video. My respect to all the instruments, especially Yani, but I always advance the video to 2:37 to listen to the bass part. One-of-the-kind bass piece. He is amazing! Violin piece is filled with senses and emotion. She is amazing too. But bass is my favorite.
His name is Robert Paulson.
So many years later, me at 70 still getting goosebumps, thank you so much sweet Karen !!!

I saw Yanni at Madison Square Garden with my girlfriend then….. wife now. What a great memory. !!!!!
In 2025 ???.....
Yes.. I am still happily listening to this timeless masterpiece.. Thanks to Musical Genius Maestro Yanni and his band members.. May God bless you all.. 🎶🎵🌹💖🙏😊✌👍
This man is absolutely amazing. He surrounds himself with the very best musicians in the world! Let's make lovely music. 😊
🤗Εγώωωω!!!!🎶💜🥰
Meee on repeat
I will forever be a fan of yanni's. For his concert is by far the best I've been to.
It’s time to meditate about life .
Her playing the violin gives me goose bumps.
It's a very rare sight to behold a person that truly masters the violin. Karen does.
She's simply one with her violin.
What a masterclass.
20 years, later this never old. Charlie Adams on Drums lays down the groove allowing that bass player to just kill. Karen Briggs just steps in to say, take out your pad and pen, we're going to school.
A beautiful woman playing a beautiful song with a beautiful band not a single mistake gods child
That's a man bro.
@@urbanturbinethey're talking about Karen Briggs the violinist... 🤦♂️
@@abposrs you never know.
it a girl.@@urbanturbine
Still here for this song march23,2024. Great song🏆🏆
Nobody talks on how the drummer just carries the piece He is spectacular
4:10 Karen turned and salute to the bassist. Mutual Respect! Appreciation.
Ric Fierabracci on bass. I just worked with him recently with the band Progject.
She owns that violin solo. Best ever!
Karen Briggs.
Karen briggs is the best violinist yanni ever had.
@@Lando_Cruzi think Samvel Yervinyan is the best ever
@@Lando_Cruz
Absolutely 💯!
You can literally feel the pure joy on each musician's face.
The bass solo is everything and the violin solo is immaculate. What a masterpiece this song is!
Agreed 💯
I came to the video after hearing it on Spotify because I thought it was Victor Wooten. It sounds so much like his playing style.
@@An-Old-DudeWooten doesn’t have a P-Bass tone imo
My goodness what about the incredible violinist? Good Lord she's got brilliant talent!
The best bass solo to me so far.
That violinist gives me chills every time I watch her play! Amazing!
Yanni is the best
Karen Briggs is her name..find her channel
Me too
It’s 2024 in December and I’m still listening to Yanni.
Same!!!
S. im now
El es especial!❤❤
I’m 79 and this still is the best music I’ve ever heard….I listen to it almost everyday,,,,,,,
SHE TURNED AROUND AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT BAD ASS BASS MAN , AND SAID I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE, THEN PROCEEDED TO BRING THE HOUSE DOWN , SPECTACULAR
And to this day, no other violinist has been able to top her performance. This was an awesome performance including the bassist.
I have seen Yanni in concert several times and he has had other violinist on his tours that are excellent in their own but for me nothing like Karen. she is the one and only not only in play but stage presence. When she started to play that amazing violin , she commanded your full attention. She is like no other...period.
@@Errr717 mary simpson came close or maybe on par...watch it n u be the judge...m no expert
@@canica99 mary simpson came close
Karen Briggs is the better violinist. She's hands down the best one there's ever been that I've ever heard. And the other guy here is right, there have been others, but still to this day nobody has been able to get on par with her mind blowing performance here at the Acropolis. I'm not just saying one song, I'm saying all of them.
But you can see when she's playing here that she just knows that this is her time, that this was a once in a lifetime kind of performance and you can just see it in her face that she knows it too!!
Very few musicians give opportunity to their band members to shine and grow during live performances.. Mr. YANNI is one of them.. huge respect..
She’s absolutely perfection we need more of her soul
My wife's favorite song... RIP 2014.
🙏😌
🥺
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🏽 😢
The Bassist is next level but.... The fiddle player must be from another galaxy to play like that!!!!
I never tire watching this classic Yanni concert at the beautiful Acropolis. Karen Briggs' part in "The Rain Must Fall" is still the most amazing violin piece I've ever heard! Amazing talent ❤ THANK YOU LADY IN RED!!
As a self taught drummer I love how tight and crisp the drummer is. And how he, the bass and the violin are. LOVE IT ALL!!!!
Every time I watch this performance I am overwhelmed by the sheer majesty of Karen Briggs solo. You can see it in her face how much she loves playing. She knows in that moment that she is making history with her performance and the glow she has just demands respect, love and appreciation for what she is doing!
Such a shame Yanni and Ms Briggs had a falling out. Magical for sure! Do love that electric violin!
The bassist is phonemal too
@@estelladog1
*Where did you read THAT* ??
😯 they did? 😭@@estelladog1
That violin solo always gives me goosebumps! It's so powerful, and she can really make that instrument sing!!

KAREN BRIGGS AND THE BASSIST..AWESOME!!!
I've had tears by the end of this song more than a few times.
I've listened to this hundreds of times, and every time, I get chills. Bravo! 👏👏

To me Luiz the voilin solo is the same interpetition that you made, but its on a side of starting something, then progressing, then beating up the rivals and then lastly overtaking them, in a way they dont come ahead. Taking a leap so faar ahead that it sets a benchmark......
Perfection from the start till the end. Love your description of the whole song. The guitarist is on fire 😁😁😁😁
I find a complete serenity every time I listened to his wonderful music. I do not how he does it but it has very calming effect---Bravo Yanni and regards from Mogadishu, Somalia
Everytime I watch yanni's concert,... I always ask myself what have I done to my life..
She used to be in the Virginia Symphony
YANNI made us hear the music of heaven as close as possible.
I love how Yanni also gives others a chance to shine ✨
And this is why Yanni is the best musician ever😊. What a greatness we have seen here..❤
Have you noticed in all of Yanni's events, whenever there's a solo playing, all musicians stare at the soloist? 😮😮😮
yeah, be respectful to others and same will return.@@nugambakkam
There is no Yanni live album better than this one.
Karen Briggs was only 30. She's a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
To this day, no one has out done Karen Briggs on this solo. The amount of emotion she is able to convey. Unparallelly. The other soloists always sounded robotic and missed its soul. BRAVO Karen BRAVO
Agree! Everybody have great technique, but only Karen have the soul!
Best version of "The Rain Must Fall" EVER..
Yanni Live at The Acropolis after 25 years should now be renamed to being Yanni and Karen Briggs Live at The Acropolis!!
Who else agrees?? Just watching this one song you should be able to tell that I am right. Karen Briggs probably never expected that this live concert would be so HUGE back when it was performed 25 years ago! But it's still great even today!! What makes it even better though is that anyone who watches her solo in this song should be able to tell how much love and joy and happiness she emits from performing! She knows she's participating in a once in a lifetime kind of performance and you can see that on her face as she does it! It's impossible not to respect and love her ability and sheer unrivaled talent with a Violin 🎻!!
Hear! Hear!
The bassist and the violin is outta this planet outstanding performance
The bassist is from a other planet.
His name is Ric
The violinist is out of this planet and her name is Karen Briggs.
16 years and still amazing every single time. Honestly they are out of this planet...
＃ライブ会場映像の魅力、＃楽曲の演奏速度最高です。オーケストラの皆さんの演奏は素晴らしいですね感動しました。また複数のTVカメラ切り替えオペレーターの芸術的センスのカメラ割り映像が素晴らしいですね感動しました。❤️ありがとうございました。😊
The Acropolis album is his best ever.
Agreed!
I don,t guess so, what about (if i could tell u)
It truly is!!!!
His most epic for sure.
she puts every atom of her soul into that solo.
I remember little 5 year old me sitting next to my dad, watching this spectacular concert on TV. Since then Yanni has inspired many around the world and myself to appreciate music. Karen Briggs was an inspiration for me to start playing violin at a young age. I will forever love you Yanni. Thank you for all the wonderful years of your love, humility, kindness, inspiration and your magnificent music. Your music is a bridge between heaven and earth. ♥️
Same here! Im 34 now and thinking of my childhood Watching this with my dad around 5 years old too brought me back here! Hes amazing!!!
Same here, the first song/album I remember at 4. And just rediscovering, so what a treat
I have no words. One of my favorites songs ever. Thank you Yanni for this masterpiece, still brings tears to my eyes. Karen Briggs is second to none, as well as Fabricio. Waiting for your next concert. ❤️
It’s not a song though.
Why does everyone insist on calling pieces of music with no singing in them songs? Well I know the answer.
It´s the best performance by a bassist I´ve seen and, of course, an excellent violinist.
That single tear trying to come out of the corner of her eye at the end... Her emotions were deep on that last note 😢
Oh I love these little personalized sessions with Yanni. Its a private little indulgence that warms the soul. Greetings Yanni from Florida!
and from Australia. This music warms our winter for me. Go Yanni!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
This wasn't a personalized session-- it was from the concert "Live At The Acropolis."

Just unbelievable
My goodness. She killed that violin..

Absolutely, magnificent and Mary Simpson doesn't even come close to Karen.
Almost three decades ago, this album was my formal introduction to western music, and possibly what led to a lifetime love of music. I still remember every song from this album note for note! Immaculate!
Wow bro jaideep ! It is very hard to find someone here in india who have this kind of taste in music ! 👍🤘🏻

I'm of the same mind......It's difficult to articulate how this music makes us feel.....sometimes tears are enough. I'm glad, like you, we are man enough to admit it.
No need to speak of shame with that sentiment, Rodrigo-- this song just evokes that reaction from the listener!
Same here, friend. That final note on her tortured violin does it to me every time. It's more than music.

Phenomena, Karen Briggs violin solo is absolutely ethereal ❤❤❤❤
The violinist is giving me chills.
Gosh! This is beautiful
She's so Wicked on the violin, made the hairs on my arms stand up . So talented , took the breath out of me !
whatever...Briggs had no career before Yanni, and she hasn't had a career since leaving.

You are very observant my friend… And also very correct! I just wanted to make this once-in-a-lifetime concert, at its highest quality, available to everyone in the world regardless of financial means!… Sending you all my love, your friend, Yanni❤️
Love Karen Briggs...love Yanni
I absolutely agree with you on Karen Briggs! I do love Samvel, also.
@@Yanni روعااااااا🖒
Wow,wow amazing. I love dis vari mahc❤
Karen Briggs, the best violinist ever!!!
I have the same point of view!
@@Adrianomz50 ok
No one can make a violin scream music like she can.
Agreeeee xxxx
Unfortunately not. The best is Pete Johansen from the late gothic band The Sins of Thy Beloved. But she is only second best to him..
This is the more beautiful melody ever compose for a mother in all the times , thank you Yanni for this marvelous gift , thanks God I have my mother but she has Akzaimer disease since 9 years ago and I take care of her , but I had the opportunities tu listen this song with her before she got this horrible disease , I enjoy it with her, thank you God and thank you Yanni.
Outstanding bass and violin solo. The feeling Karen gives to her tone is just amazing, it makes me wanna cry every single time i hear it. You can literaly hear the storm in that solo, and the calm at the end, after the rain has fallen.
Nostalgia ❤
This is a greatest song in the world. Because this can increase the mind power of the human being.
@Efi Definitely brother.
Karen Briggs is a legend. An icon. She IS THE MOMENT.
I'm not sure a more beautiful arrangement has ever been performed since this show. I vividly remember watching it on VHS in my youth..it is now a staple for long plane rides..something about One Man's Dream at 37k feet gets me.
Oh My God. I wonder if Yanni understands how much "we get it".....It's as if I could die while watching this and have a smile on my face. At 5:52, Miss Griggs's violin wails and withers just beyond control as she commands it back.....simply incredible.....and the bass player, my God, talk about pushing your instrument to the limit! Yanni, if by any chance you ever read this, THANK YOU for arranging these beautiful Humans to play your beautiful compositions.
Ditto!!!
No waver -- that's when the finale depicts orgasm.

I had the good fortune of going to a Yanni concert in the 90’s and I was blown away by Karen. She’s beyond anything I’ve ever heard or seen before. Amazing!
Πόσο τυχεροί είναι όλοι όσοι ηταν μαζί σου εκεί τότε!!!!
Κ πόσο τυχεροί είμαστε που σε ακούμε έστω αργά τώρα!!!
Αστέρι μας!!!!
One of the greatest musical performances I've ever seen and heard in my life. I grew up listening to this album, and this song was the absolute pinnacle. Simply breathtaking, and to this day it still hits so hard. Thank you to Yanni and every amazing musician who brought this to life!
2:37 one of the most exquisite bass solos of all time. Came here just for that.
As often, when a day may go ugly, this music has been a source of inspiration for years to change that mood.
The headphones come out, the volume goes up, sitting down and wash within the cascade of vibrations that splash my body and soul, to realign and purge what doesn't belong there.
It never fails to charge my imagination to produce some great Art. 48hrs at a time. That allows you to pick one instrument and focus on that one thru the whole album. You'll be surprised but what you miss just playing thru. Every little jingle or note, comes alive. And the music would be poorer without them. A Masterpiece of Yanni and company. Bravo.
I love Karen so much. What a solo. Goosebumps every time I watch or hear this song !
In one word --- "Wow!"
I have this CD, "Live at the Acropolis," and it is awesome. This is my first time "seeing" a performance from it. I didn't know the violinist was a Black female. I am pleasantly surprised. Again, this is an awesome CD I picked it up many years ago while in private practice. Get the CD!
you should really question the validity of your perception of what BLACK is- what YOU think is based on being weak minded and brainwashed and has nothing to do with reality or maybe her self perception and other people's perception. People like you have a mental attitude that propagates some of the most invalid constructs that humans have in modern society. But based on your profile name, I guess that's the business you are in .
@@crabbcake Wow!
Yanni's music is a magical shower of enchantment. When listening to his music, one can feel the increase in life energy in the soul. Yanni's music also pours immense joy into the soul 🎸🎹🎻🥁🎶🎶🎵💕🌹😇🙏
This is so BEAUTIFUL and Awesome every one in this Orchestra are so talented but i have to this violinist she gives me the chills wow
Thank you Yanni for putting all this together I have been listening to you for years and will keep listening
She played with full of heart.salute Karen briggs
I really enjoy Yanni's music for years. His music was the last thing that my mom and i shared in 1994 before she passed awAy
Every time I watch and listen to this video, it is as If I am watching it for the first time, every time. The bond between that violin and that violinist is unparallel, no one can play that way, it is like they are fused to each other and refuse to leave sight of each other. A true love... S T U N N I N G player and Artist.
Yanni is the entertainer for entertaining other entertainer. If you work as music worker, you never get bored for watching acropolis concert.
Aquí presente disfrutando de la bella música 🎼🎶😍🎉🎉🎉🕊️✨🌟💫❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🍀🍀🍀💓💓💓🌻🌻🌻
until now, this still gives me goosebumps ..
a wonderfully written song with outstanding bass and violin solo.
Music has everything for us to be mind-blown. kudos to Yanni
This entire orchestra/band is totally 110% in the ZONE!
10:56 the best awesome composer ever . Music is dreamy
This bass player is the unsung hero. Outstanding !!!
He’s the reason (well this solo) I wanted to play bass.
Damn right!!
He is unsung coz he doesn't sing! 😂
He is.
Yes!!!!
Who's listening in December of 2024??
Am listening from africa
January 2025
Me
You too
The best performance that taught me music 30 years ago when I was young
The overall performance was a "Master Class" in session starting with the percussion, followed by the bassist who was in a zone of his own, 🔥 and lastly the violinist acknowledging the bass playing "groove" just added the icing on the cake. Even after all these years I still get chill bumps 🥶.
You can feel the passion through the violin solo, truly spectacular !!
Yanni, tu música es sublime, infinitamente mi gran amor griego de otra dimension😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😄😄😄😄😄😄
Thanks to my moms exceedingly amazing taste in music, I learned about Yanni. This is one of my favorite pieces. Thank you Yanni RUclips channel
Yanni The Best And The Music King
*In the start at **0:08**, just look at Ric Fierabracci. His soul is drowning in joy. No wonder he developed the bass SO SO GOOD.*
This entire show was beautiful.
The violinist was unforgettable.
✨💜✨
she still going
Amazing blend of Jazz, classical, improv, Woman in Red, San, Drummer, and Yanni. And Violin section.
