In My Time (1993) |
Dare to Dream, is Yanni's eighth album, released on the Private Music label in 1992, (see 1992 in music). His newest album, "Dare to Dream", says Yanni, "comes from a realizatoin that not only don't people go after their dreams, they are often afraid to dream at all. If we don't dare to dream, we can't shape our future".[1]
It went gold within two months of its release and was nominated for a Grammy. The album was followed by a sell-out, 65-city concert tour which challenged audiences "not to be afraid to dream".[2]
