> > Yanni is one of my all-time favorite musicians. I'm not a big fan of music videos, but his are an exception. The only thing better is seeing him in concert. I saw about two years ago and, even though I had 'nose-bleed' tickets (meaning that you're so high up, the elevation could give you a nose bleed), the concert was amazing.

I've put off answering your question because I just can't decide. The "Live at the Acropolis" video is amazing (as is the album), in my personal opinion. The musicians are so passionate about their music and yet they have so much fun. I am a huge fan of orchestra music with a beat to it.

The Trans Siberian Orchestra is another impressive group. They were once called Savatage, and released several albums under that name. Three Christmases ago they released their first CD as a new band, entitled "The Christmas Story." The song "Christmas Eve: Sarajevo" played on oodles of radio stations every hour. They're up to three CDs now, and I have all of them. I like the music, and each album is also a story. Simply amazing.
