Synopsis

Amazon.com
Yanni tacitly announced he was becoming a kinder, gentler, more thoughtful musician with the release of this 1992 studio recording. The triumphant surges and tympani-powered sonic eruptions that often distinguished his earlier works are replaced here by greater emphasis on billowy clouds of stardust. Yet even on its own subdued terms, Dare to Dream is largely an attractive package designed for Yanni's legions of newer fans who discovered him on Oprah or PBS. If you remember to program your CD-player to skip "Aria," a shrill, operatic oddity, you'll discover the album's strengths lie in its more energetic compositions--particularly "Desire" and "You Only Live Once." On the quiet side, the affecting "To the One Who Knows" is a soul-searching gem that bears repeated listening. --Terry Wood

"Another amazing album from an amazing contemporary composer. All tracks are simply soothing and mind blowing. If you have a highly refined musical taste then you will appreciate this album. He won a Grammy for this album. Must own CD. Also check out Yanni's DVDs."

"Yanni at his best! This is definitely one of the turning points in the evolution of New Age music! You Only Live Once is amazing, albeit really long, and To The One Who Knows is an exquisite piece. I prefer the version of Felitsa that appears on In My Time to the one on here, but it is still a pretty piece! Desire is phenomenal, using synth pan flutes and dulcimer to create a very Eastern sound. Aria, let's face it, is just plain weird, but it is followed by A Night To Remember, which is equally wonderful to the rest of the album, although just a bit cliché towards the end. In The Mirror isn't the best piece to listen to, but it is really fun to play on the piano! This one's a must-have as well!"
