"Reflections of Passion", is Yanni's sixth album, released on the Private Music label in 1990, (see 1990 in music), with a concert tour the same year and same title. Although it is categorized by the RIAA as a full album, all of the tracks on the album had been released at least once prior. Since the album sampled the most successful tracks from Yanni's previous albums, it can be seen as a Greatest Hits compilation. It peaked at #1 on "Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart, and at #29 on the "Billboard 200" chart in the same year. [cite web |url=http://wc07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hpfyxqwgld0e~T3

Media excerpts

Star Tribune (1990-07-05)Playing with the Minnesota Orchestra has been a dream of Yanni Chryssomallis, who came from Greece in 1973 to study psychology at the University of Minnesota, where his brother already was a student there. It's coincidental that he will perform with the orchestra at Northrop auditorium, where he attended his first "U" class, Psychology 101.

Yanni, who moved to Los Angeles in 1987, has played twice with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. A video of the second appearance is being prepared for television broadcast on PBS or a cable network. Yanni plans to use the tape to convice other orchestras to perform with his quartet which includes percussionist Charlie Adams, Yanni's former colleague in the Twin Cities rock band Chameleon, and Minneapolis keyboardist, Bradley Joseph. He expects that he will work with as many as 10 symphonies this year, and then record with the Prague Symphony.
