Popular doesn't mean much to me. I like what I like, and ever since I saw
the video of him/symphony live at the Acropolis I was a fan.
We have been season ticket holders to the RSO (Regina Symphony Orch) for 4
years now. Classical music had always been something I liked, but never
jumped right in. Turns out I quite like it, and from all era's.
I know that Yanni isn't classical, but his compositions and the use of the
classical instruments works well to my ears. His studio albums are quite
good, and ya they can lean towards easy listening, but its an easy listening
that I can appreciate. Live is another thing, I've seen several video's of
his now, and they are quite the events. Lots of highlights within the
compositions, soloing, etc.

I thought Yanni wasn't popular! He;s got some good stuff but meanders into
easy listening too often overall. I voted for Cheap Trick based on the live
version, as you say, far better.
