Introduced with Kitaro

Today I have listened another New Age instrumentalist Kitaro`s pieces: Silk Road, Orochi, The Clouds, Moon Dance. This Japanese composer possesses strong mystic and ghostly power.

His Silk Road is a long mystic theatrical peace.As far as I know the piece was written for a Japanese TV series Silk Road.Perhaps Silk Road is a famous route from Europe through Tajikistan, Uzbekistan of central Asia to China. It culturally connects two continents (Europe and Asia).

Cover of Yanni`s Album

Sometimes the cover of a music album accompanies the mode of the music in it.Yanni`s album covers are very much artful.At the beginning of his career his album-covers were abstract, gradually they became portrait based.In his early cover-portraits (for instance In My Time, Dare to Dream) he appears like a romantic-novel hero.

The cover of Yanni`s first and second solo albums (Optimystique, Keys to Imagination) are like surrealist paintings that fits rightly to the nature of his music. Notable the later springs a supernatural feeling.

Yanni`s Music

Yanni is probably the most influential New Age(although Yanni himself likes to categorize himself as adult instrumental) instrumentalist of the 90s.He is especially known for his romantic signature style.

This article gives a precise description of Yanni and his music.
