In Celebration of Life is the second compilation album and seventh album overall by Greek keyboardist and composer Yanni, released on the Private Music label in 1991. The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top New Age Albums chart and at #60 on the Billboard 200 in the same year.[1] The album was supported by the Revolution in Sound Tour.
Yanni expresses the euphoria of life's greatest moments in this collection of 10 powerful and uplifting works. Like its predecessor, Reflections of Passion, it consisted mostly of songs taken from Yanni's four previous albums. Unlike Reflections of Passion, it did not include any new material nor any songs from Yanni's debut album, Optimystique. However, it did include one song ("Song for Antarctica") taken from a multi-artist benefit album, Polar Shift.
In a review for AllMusic, Johnny Loftus called the album "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." He concluded that "fans will have most, if not all of the material here, but newcomers might enjoy In Celebration of Life ."[3]
