1980年,雅尼录制的第一张专辑《Optimystique》。“Optimystique”这个词其实对应的是英文中的optimistic optim=best，含义就是快乐。 Optimystique is Yanni's first album, released on Atlantic Records in 1984 and again on the Private Music label in 1989 (see 1984 in music). Optimystique was recorded in 1980 and released for the first time in 1984. I considered re-recording or reworking the material before re-releasing it again, but the album has a very special sound representative of a particular time early in my career which I wanted to preserve. For me, it is a piece of my history I remember fondly.
