Devotion: The Best of Yanni is a compilation album by keyboardist and composer Yanni, released on the Private Music label in 1997. The album peaked at #1 on Billboard's Top New Age Albums chart and at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart in the same year. Nine of this compilation's fifteen tracks are from two of Yanni's quieter recordings, from Dare To Dream in 1992 and delicate In My Time in 1993. Those selections, intermingled with an assortment of the keyboard player's more dynamic works (Santorini and Within Attraction) create a generally satisfying survey of Yanni's first seven albums (NikiNana and Optimystiqueare 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 Live At The Acropolis. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
