Who is listening to this wonderful music by Maestro Yanni in 2024???

Something totally special happened on this concert . It was never outdated , never equaled . Never ever .

This has got to be one of the best live musical performances in modern history.

Karen plays with passion, Rohani plays with virtuosity, what an explosive battle! More like a conversation really. Each beautifully express their individuality in a masterful performance. Bravo!!!

Everybody talks about the violin duel. Nobody talks about the percussionist vs drummer

I bought this DVD in 93 , 20 years later I remember every mesmerizing sequence and transition. The percussion, the duel for me will never be duplicated. This music is literally etched in my soul! I’m 60 years old but feel so alive after this 🙏🏼

The dueling violins of Maestro Shardad Rohani and Miss Karen Briggs is one of THE MOST SPECIAL THINGS in ALL of Yanni's music...I'll never forget how blown away I was the first time I was blessed with hearing this tune...My Gosh...Nothing but absolute MASTERS of their craft here! It's AMAZING music!

The two violinists were having a lot of fun, while I was burning brain cells processing their level of talent. Simply incredible!

Over the past 20 odd years I've listened and watched so many version of this song. No disrespect to Mary Simpson, Ann Marie Calhoun, Samvel Yerminyan and all the other brilliant violinists who performed this song but the duel in this version has always been the most special one for me. Thank you for sharing this video in this quality.

I love how the conductor smiles at the lead violinist because knows he's in for a tough competition. Amazing showdowns even with the percussionists!

Όσα χρόνια και να περάσουν θα ακούω τα τραγούδια του . Με υρεμουν και συνγινουμε πάρα πολύ. Γειά σου Γιάννη μού λεβέντη. Είσαι και πρώτος. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I grew up in the hood and listened to this secretly more than anything else in my childhood. Was I the only one?

Listening for 2 decades out of my 32 years of life ❤️❤️

The first time I heard this on my television, I walked into my living room and my 15 year old daughter was sitting in front of the TV totally mesmerized with tears flowing down her cheeks.

The best Jazz/Classical crossover in history.

iranian and american musicians duo, music brings everyone together. Thanks yanni.

This song is so beautifully composed by yanni that despite listening it more than 1000 times I still to hear it another million times

The best performance of "Within Attraction" ever, Thanks to Yanni and the conductor, Shahrdad Rouhani,

From UZBEKISTAN. YANNI come to Uzbekistan.

Yanni…. The World’s Musician ❤

Love all Yanni's concerts. Those 2 violinists are absolutely incredible!!!

OMG, What a PASSIONATE performance by these two violinists!

The Female Violinist for sure steals the Show, the Conductor is Obviously a accomplished Violinist in his own right but she has one of those Touches By God kind of talents...no doubt she worked at it and became obsessed with it, that's really the only way to get to that point but she really does have a God given talent...

So grateful that my dad introduced this to me when I was a kid. This is real music! The passion everyone of these performers portrays brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful

Best version of Within Attraction. I've been waiting for this to drop to youtube (in a good quality) for about 10 years now.

Such an honour to see Shahrdad Rowhani as one side of the violin duet. So proud ...

This is the perfect version of “within attraction” ❤

He's not only the best. He is God's gift to us, the Lord of Music, the giver of peace to our souls, the changer of our lives, a pure soul. Our one and only beloved maestro ✨💖🎶 Yanni 🎵🌹🙏

I remember a night long ago while emersed in a painting, not paying attention to the TV in the back ground.. I looked up but only after this beautiful music coming from my television caught my attention. I'd never heard anything like it before. But even at 23 I could appreciate it for its intelligence and complexity. This person was able to bring together different genres using unique instruments from different cultures flawlessly creating a grand palette of musical compositions to choose from that would satisfy any mood. At the next intermission I soon learned it was yanni presenting his latest concert, Live at the Acropolis on PBS during one of their fundraisers. For over 30 years he has been played an innumerable amount of times and still, I never tire of hearing his compositions. He accompanied me to my art classes for 6 years because his music does not interfere with the creative process it promotes it. My kids heard it from in the womb to graduation wiring their brain for success. My oldest surprised me with a tattoo on his arm that reads, "within Attraction." It obviously made the impression I was hoping for. And still to this day I listen with the same enthusiasm as I did when I was 23 and first gazed my eyes upon him.

This is by far the best version I’ve ever heard! Kudos to everyone! Outstanding!!!

Μπραβο Γιάννη δόξασε την Ελλάδα Μας Συγχαρητήρια

Изумительное исполнение ! БРАВО !

THE DRUMMER RULES...DAMMMM THIS IS MUSIC IN 2021 YANNY STILL RULES

The best musical duel ever. But the amazing part is the anticipation of the rest of the orchestra for the battle.

I WENT TO THE MINNESOTA CONCERT. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THIS PERFORMANCE. I LOVED IT. I LOVED THE REST OF THE CONCERT AS WELL. WELL WORTH ATTENDING. GIFTED MUSICIANS AND A GIFTED COMPOSER.

This is still by far the best performance of Within Attraction ever! Not saying others were not good by no means. But this is as perfectly stellar as it gets. Plus the venue is such an epic backdrop with the lighting. I’m still in awe watching this.

The best Violin Duet of all time!!!!!!!!

The obvious mutual respect between the violinist gets me! Loved it!

5:16 THE violin "duel" between Karen Briggs & Shardad Rohani is stunning.

Power of Music... Listening this song using headphones, seating quiet, eyes shut... By the end of this song there were tears in my eyes, due to ecstasy.... Beyond words... More than 25+ yrs... Same result every time...

I live in the USA & I’m just discovering Yanni! I love all the musicians, especially the bass player & the violin player, she’s amazing!

I used to watch this as a 4 year old child every morning on national tv in my country Suriname. This song has always been the inspiration in every step of my life ! I am turning 32 this year . Yanni ❤

I love how Yanni incorporated this fantastic Conductor into the song with his violin skills. I've never ever seen this before this video in all my concert attendances. This is what I call making maximum use of Everyone's skills and talents.

This is the first song I heard years ago and fell in love with Yanni ❤️❤️❤️ The creativity, performance and passion is exquisite! How can one not be in love with @Yanni after watching this video? ❤️❤️❤️ It’s my honor that Shahrdad Rohani is from my country.

the smile of the lady playing violin is amazing

Even after all these years... this is still one of the most breathtakingly beautiful performances I've ever seen. x

I watched this version and the newer version....this is by far superior. This version naturally blends together like puzzle pieces to perfection. The other version had the impossible task of being compared to this. They tried to put their own unique twists, but they fell short. Karen and Shahrdad struggle and push each other to musical paradise....BRAVO!!!

Shardad Rohani was amazing in this concert ❤️

The violin duel is so passionate. Im literally crying. Yanni where have you been all my life

I’ve always thought this was the symmetry of life in motion

So many years have been passes, I have watched this part for like a hundred times, and every single time I get fascinated like the first day by the drummists and the unrepeatable violin battle part. So proud to have Shahrdad Rouhani in the list of my country's artists❤

In this concert I really liked the passionate flirting of two violins !!fantastic playing!!👏🎻🎻🔥

I love this one too! Karen Briggs and the Conductor smile and seem to be talking with their violins. Can't get enough of your music. Love you Yanni and Peace.

Greece is a country of greats and heroes We Palestinians are proud of our Greek roots🇬🇷❤️🇵🇸

only base guitar lovers will understand what a beautiful slide & tear the extremely talented bass guitarist (dressed in simple orange pant and shirt..but amazingly talented) did(not visibile during this clip period) during 04:05 to 04:08..simply superb and amazing! thank you Mr. Yanni for this beautiful musical journey!

Nothing can beat this version of within attraction 😍😍

From Iraq, the greatest music in the world for me. Greetings to the musician Yanni❤❤

I've said it before. This is my favorite song of my lifetime (68 years now) and I watch it often. It's not just a duel between drummers and violinists. It's a sort of theatrical play depicting a lovers' quarrel and breakup. Watch again with that in mind. Sure, the musicians are fantastically talented, but try to figure out what the composer had in mind.

1993-2023…..still amazing ❤

I remember watching this with my mother when this concert first appeared on PBS. This concert and the Tribute concert continues to be his best work. From Yanni himself, musicians, Lady Briggs violinist, the awesome percussionist, orchestra and let's not forget the conductor gave a performance of a lifetime. Thank you all for the joy and your passion of music.

The girl is SERIOUS about her bizness!!!! Boss Lady Karen!! At 5:59 she started to channel her inner soul sister vibe, and it was ON!!!

My mom had this on VHS when I was a kid. So grateful she would always play it and introduced this to me at such a young age. Truly incredible music, absolutely beautiful. The talent of everyone is mind-blowing, especially Karen Briggs !

I recently heard the studio recording of this on a camping trip, for the first time. I LOVE the original synth but I am so amazed at how much the strings add. Every time Yanni closes his eyes, I FEEL THAT! Magnificent!!!!

26 years and still counting, I grew up with this, still sounds fresh, fortunate enough to discover your music 🙇🏻‍♂️

Simply put, blew me off of my chair when I first heard this song, it still does. Karen Briggs is Outrageous and fun to watch. Definitely the Best Violinist I've ever heard!

I was there in 1993. what a fantastic venue honoring modern greek music...Bravo..

I loved watching their faces!! They were trying their hardest to outdo each other. But the respect and pride on each other faces was amazing to see!

The thing with Yanni's music is that all the musicians automatically get a smile on their faces when they play it - and so does the rest of the world for decades to come.

Good morning Yanni! To have enjoyed life to the fullest, and to have never lost ourselves in the process is to have truly lived! 💓 I can't wait to hear this stunning performance again! It sets my life on fire with your blazing music! 💓🎹🔥🦅🦅

SInce my youth I've been listening to this MASTERPIECE of Yanni & his fantastic Orchestra. Indeed the perfect version of "WITHIN Attraction". I love it toooo much.. !!

Όσα χρόνια και να περάσουν θα ακούω το τραγούδι αυτό, και όλα τα τραγούδια του. Μπράβο στους γονιτους που βγάλανε τέτοιο παλικάρι..ο Θεός να τον προστατεύει πάντα .❤❤❤❤❤❤

Easily one of the best vilolin performances ever. I love watching her dance while she is waiting to play the next best part. This video and song always brings tears to my eyes.The passion in this song is amazing.

"Live At The Acropolis " as a whole is so amazing album and this piece is no exception! Thank you very much Yanni, be safe and healthy

What an amazing masterpiece seriously! Even after all these years

I'm in love with that woman. What an amazing way to enjoy and feel music. So much respect for her.

The most beautiful music I've heard in my 55 years.

Goosebumps!!! Karen Briggs, true Goddess of the violin! They all killed it. That violin duel was epic!!

5:08 Y fue Gracias a este video que encontré en una computadora en 1999.... en una calidad de 140p Que Inicio mi Amor por la Música.... sigue poniéndome los pelos de punta como si fuera la primera vez 7w7

My favorite part of this song was the dueling violins! SO damn good! Such amazing talents from all these musical artists!

Even after 25 years I still enjoy watching this concert. Every piece on this album was a masterpiece. But the violin duel was always my favourite. And the look of Yanni face at the end of it says it all.

Hi! Happy Monday Yanni! 😊 This is a favorite with the “conversation” between Karen and Shahrdad Rohani! Thanks for being with us again! 🌹

🎵🎼🎼🎵🎼within attraction 🎵🎼🎼🎵🎼❤

He is like God of music to me !!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

No words can express what I am feeling. Only enjoy :)

Still my favorite version. The other violinists are great, but Karen Briggs' southern fiddle vibe is still off the charts!

👌👌👌 I also love the grace, humor of Karen Briggs and the elegance, composure of Maestro Shardad Rohani as the both play dueling violins in the sound of the virtuosic organ and the rhythm of bustling drum beats. How It's wonderful.!

Όσα χρόνια και πέρα σουν θα τον ακούω. Καταπλιχτηκος , Απυθανως . Σούπερ. Τον λατρεύω. Τα τραγούδια του με ιρεμουν αφάνταστα. Τον αγαπώ!!!!!! Μπράβο του που έφτασε τόσο ψηλά...

Live at the Acropolis is like a beautiful dream❤️

This is one of my favorites at the Acropolis. The best musicians in the world were sitting next to these 2 and they were looking at them as if they were inventing fire! Both are amazing violinists! 😮

This is one of my favorite songs from Yanni. May God continue to bless you Yanni. You're the best! I love you very much. ❤ You're great!!! 💞💞💞

If I had one elixir of life I'd give it to Yanni. May his music live forever.

The BEST version of Within Attraction.

I can not understand how someone can push the dislike button for such a masterpiece !!!

I just love this one, so beautifully choreographed and the duel is invigorating! This one has always been my favorite 🥰🤩

It's half of 2023 and I'm still right here listening to these masterpieces by @Yanni himself

Ωσα χρόνια και αν περάσουν θα τον ακούω. Δεν υπάρχει αλός τελιος Σούπερ. The best 👌 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The lady (violinist) is a perfect example of God's beautiful creations and is truly a blessing.

I dont understand how one can dislike this song... This song literally talks to your soul!! Make sure you have good headphones.. Amazing Yanni!!

Sometimes it is difficult to express what certain melodies provoke, well executed, planned from who knows where, to be so masterful and transmit sensations that lift you up or keep you where you should be.

20 + years later, I’m still listening 😍
