'Yanni Live! The Concert Event' was filmed in front of more than 10,000 people at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas as part of his Yanni Live 2005 World Tour. The show was a 16-camera high definition production, including a special Sky Cam that captured unprecedented aerial shots. More than 70 microphones captured the audio of the event in multi channel surround sound. The show was directed by Jerry McReynolds and eleven-time Emmy Award winner George Veras, with the set designed by five-time Emmy Award winner Jeremy Railton.

"In this growing digital age I am excited about my new relationship with Image Entertainment," said Yanni. "Through Image, I will continue to bring my music to people all over the world and reach a new generation of digital music lovers. This live concert event is very special to me and I look forward to the release of the CD and DVD."

The DVD features the live concert performance, including amazing behind-the-scenes footage from the concert and a rare up-close-and-personal look at the legendary entertainer. The digital audio version of the program is available simultaneously with the audio CD with the digital video version being day and date with the DVD release on September 19.

"Yanni is one of the most popular and bestselling musicians in the world," said Barry Gordon, senior vice president of worldwide programming of Image Entertainment. "He joins Image's large and diverse library of superstar performers and we couldn't be more pleased with this new relationship."
