In Celebration of Life draws from four early Yanni albums - Keys to Imagination, Out of Silence, Chameleon Days, and Niki Nana - and also includes the new "Song for Antarctica," recorded for the Polar Shift benefit album. The collection is a solid overview of the new age composer's initial work, displaying all of the tenets that have made his music so popular over the years. Opener "Santorini" features a powerful, sweeping melody, while "Marching Season" is driven by the relationship between an urgent piano line and a surging, synthesized string section. "Keys to Imagination" begins in a contemplative mood, but by song's end features the galloping keyboards and crashing percussion typical of Yanni's work. Fans will have most, if not all of the material here, but newcomers might enjoy In Celebration of Life as an overview of Yanni's early work. Fans may also want to search out the Polar Shift compilation, which features "Song for Antartica," as well as music from heavyweights like Kitaro, Vangelis, and Enya.

Johnny Loftus - All Music Guide



This 1991 compilation is essentially a companion piece to 1990's Reflections of Passion. Combined, these two worthwhile samplers offer listeners an inexpensive way to own the best of Yanni's first four recordings. None of the 10 tracks here, including some of his most dynamic and arresting early epics ("Santorini," "Marching Season," "Keys to Imagination"), are duplicated on Reflections of Passion, which is a big plus for listeners who prefer acquiring best-of packages. Since Yanni has eight such compilations on the market, choosing the right ones could be a challenging task. Here's a tip: If your tastes lean toward Yanni's bolder, more rhythmic compositions, this 50-minute disk, in tandem with Reflections of Passion, make a great instant library of Yanni's most impressive pre-1990 works.

In Celebration of Life is the seventh studio album by Yanni, released on the Private Music label in 1991 (see 1991 in music). The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart and at #60 on the "Billboard 200" in the same year. The corresponding concert tour in the same year was the Revolution in Sound tour.

In a review by Johnny Loftus of AllMusic, "In Celebration of Life draws from four early Yanni albums – Keys to Imagination, Out of Silence, Chameleon Days and Niki Nana – and also includes the new "Song for Antarctica", recorded for the Polar Shift benefit album.
