Devotion (The Best of Yanni)

Devotion (The Best of Yanni) is a 1997 compilation album by Yanni released on the Private Music label.

Nine of this compilation's fifteen tracks are from two of Yanni's quieter recordings, 1992's Dare to Dream and 1993's delicate In My Time. Those selections, intermingled with an assortment of the keyboard player's more dynamic works ("Santorini", "Within Attraction") create a generally satisfying survey of Yanni's first seven albums. (Niki Nana and Optimystique are not represented here.) The CD's packaging claims that this is the best of Yanni and the album does offer a decent overview of his work, with a tilt toward his gentler side. "The End of August" and "Marching Season" are presented as performed in concert on the album Yanni Live at the Acropolis.
