I am just joining your forum, after a life of reading messages only, because I am from Guatemala, spanish-speaking, so, it will take me a while to write this message. I am so glad that I finally found you to share my delirious love for Yanni and Yanni's music!
As you can skip my message if it is not interesting, I'm going to take the risk of sharing my story: I first met Yanni's music with In my time, and I was so fascinated, I feel so much with that music, that I couldn't stop and started looking for everything else, and besides the cds, I found this page, with you.
I am enchanted by Playing by heart, it is impossible to explain, but the magic of the piece, the perfection of Yanni, the perfection of Pedro... well, it all takes me so far... Playing by heart describes my soul, my internal universe. It has never happened to me with any other music. What you think? Which one describes you the best? I know that perhaps the purpose of this great music is not to describe us, but it does...
Hi, Playing By heart and welcome to the Yanni message board. Your English is very good and I hope you will join us here often. My favourite Yanni song changes depending on how I'm feeling at the time but, like you, his music has touched me in a way no other music has. Take care,
Hello, Yvonne, and welcome to the YMB, the home of the Yanni family. Your message was very easy to read and I understood it all. As far as my favorite piece, I'm afraid I must agree with Anne; it depends on the mood I am in. At least I can say Yanni has music for any mood you might be in!!!! In Peace, Love and Yannitude, Margaret0949
Hi Yvonne, welcome to our family. You will find many friends here who share your love for Yanni's music. I love everything he does, but I have to admit that whenever I hear the first notes of "A word in private" I stop whatever I'm doing, close my eyes, lean back and let the music enter my soul. That is the one that touches me the most. I feel like he is right there whispering it in my ear, as if he wrote it just for me. It will always be my favorite.
Thank you for your welcome, and there is no doubt that the Yanni effect is the same in everyone. I was searching for some news in the Internet about his music, and what I found was the bad news about his mother (I know it happened almost a year ago, but I didn't know), and I am so sorry, and I listen to Felitsa and remember the live concert in which he sends a kiss to her. Well, by now, I must say that I am listening to Playing by heart again... and suddenly I forgot I am at my office...
