However, high-visibility appearances on public television, best-selling records and videos, and overflow concerts earned him recognition beyond his relationship with Evans.Dare to Dream, released in 1992, was Yanni’s first Grammy-nominated album. It included “Aria,” a song based on Léo Delibes’ The Flower Duet (Lakmé, 1883) and popularized by an award-winning British Airways commercial. A second Grammy-nominated album, In My Time, followed in 1993.In 2000, after the two-year hiatus, Yanni released If I Could Tell You, his first studio album in seven years. The album sold 55,000 copies in its first week and landed at No. 20 on the Billboard charts, his highest debut to date. Yanni described the album as more of an even-tempered “listening” album, less dramatic than the live concert albums Live at the Acropolis or Tribute.Yanni’s 2010-2013 tours included new vocalists, distinct from the 2008–2009 Yanni Voices vocalists. Yanni performed in China in the February 9, 2013, CCTV Spring Festival Gala (annual audience 700 million with Chinese zither artist Chang Jing in what was the first year that CCTV had invited foreign artists to perform.</blockquote>
