A collection of favorites that were previously released on Yanni's many earlier albums, "In Celebration of Life" features mostly high-energy selections.  The exuberant, beat-filled compositions are both motivating and uplifting.  There is also an innocent, wonder-filled joie de vivre about this music that can release one's inner child.  This compilation album, and also another similar one--"Reflections of Passion"--are great introductions to Yanni's multi-layered synthesizer music.  Try also his recent release, "Ethnicity", for more of his upbeat celebrations of life.
