Editorial Review:
Modest in both scale and sound, If I Could Tell You represents a less elaborate, more back-to-basics approach to music for an artist lately accustomed to staging Grand Statements (see Tribute). A straightforward, keyboard-based studio recording with minimal accompaniment, If I Could Tell You finds Yanni exploring a pleasant though largely unexceptional middle ground--less overtly romantic than his early '90s bestsellers In My Time and Dare to Dream, nor as boldly expressive as his rousing early releases. "On Sacred Ground" opens the disc with a choir of electronically treated voices chanting ethereally over gentle rhythms and Native American flute, followed by the flamenco-tinged minor drama of "The Flame Within." Yanni's most interesting ideas arrive at mid-disc, starting with the harmonic tribal chanting on the rhythmic "Wishing Well," followed by a pair of agreeable romantic and dramatic forays on piano and keyboards ("A Walk in the Rain," "Highland"). Yet compared to Yanni at his expressive best, these selections and others that follow convey a surprising neutrality. Not that this music is objectionable. The stately romantic piano found on "In Your Eyes," for example, is graceful and appealing. Overall, though, the mood here is tame, reserved--and here's that word again--modest. After a three-year wait following the globe-girdling Tribute, this approach is a bit of a surprise. --Terry Wood
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Drops the big band sound, but sounds bored.
At least he got rid of the orchestra.
However, this does not even come close to his early work.
Dull, uninspired, unmemorable.
I think Yanni is running out of ideas.
Rating:  - Yanny, the Gift
this is the second time I buy this CD, the first one I damaged for
excess of play .
I think Yanni is a GIFT of century 20th . Like other branches of ART
the musician are in dangerous of extinction, I always ask myself
why the ART is leaving us and is so difficult to have artists like
Sinatra,Anita B, Randy Crawford, Benson, Barbara, Sarah, so YANNI
is one of these tiny group that make us live, dream, fly and keep the
flame vivid in our hearts.

Rating: - Like Yanni? You'll like this
I've been a Yanni fan for years. THIS is my favorite album of his. Have a listen to the sound samples on the Amazon site and I think you will agree that this is good stuff! Two of my favorite songs are "If I could tell you" and "On Sacred Ground". Excellent mix of instruments and both fast and slow songs. New age music at it's finest!!
Rating: - Beautiful Music Outstanding.

Rating: - THE BEST YANNI CD!
If I could I would rate this CD higher than 5 stars! This is the best Yanni CD ever! In this album Yanni takes a different turn and changes the flavor of his music. The songs are very spiritual and exotic. The listener is transported to a different world. I love all his music, but if I were to choose my favorite CD, it would definitely be this one. This is a must CD for any Yanni fan!
